Taylor's 15th Birthday

Happy Birthday Taylor!

Taylor has been gone most of the summer with different camps-scout, EFY, Music camp, another scout camp. We were happy to have him home for a few days during his birthday. We celebrated by going out to dinner at rewind. We missed him this summer and are glad that he is home now. We love you Tay!

Bryce Canyon Half Marathon

After months of training, Taylor, John, Me and my running friends completed the half-marathon at Bryce canyon. It really was a lot of fun and very fulfilling once it was completed. Taylor wasn't sure he liked it much-but he was a great sport and beat me in the race with very minimal training. Tara, Ashley, Maryann and Me-You go girls!!!

The passing of our dear Uncle Mark

I guess that I couldn't portray an accurate account of our summer without including one of the major events that sadly happened in our family. After a 5 month fight with leukemia, uncle Mark passed away leaving behind Michelle (my sister) and their three little girls (Madelyn-13, Mackenzie-9, and Megan-5). We are saddened by his passing, but grateful that his suffering is over and especially grateful for the knowledge that we have of eternal families thanks to our dear Saviour, Jesus Christ. We love you and pray for you daily Michelle, Maddie, Kenzie and Meggie! Mark, "The Gentle Giant" is, and will continue to be missed greatly~ Madelyn, Megan, and Mackenzie looking darling at their daddy's funeral.

Fourth of July!

Abbey and I decided to get a little patriotic with our toes and fingers! We all went to the 4th of July Parade. Taylor rode in the parade with his friends!
