PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY

"To you women of today who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many-now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings"

Night Skiing 2011




Another fun night at Last Chance for our annual night skiing. I loved Brandon's shirt that said "My boat doesn't run on 'thanks!' " Conner was amazing! I didn't do it this year because it was too cold but just being with friends and family made it so fun!

Here's a photo of the house under construction. Its actually a lot further along now. Its to the sheet rock phase. I can't wait for it to be done!

Ski Tournament


Conner entered his first waterski tournament at Sun Ten. He took 1st place in his age division. Way to go Conner! Kyle entered as well. Lets just say he didn't do quite as well as Conner... sorry babe! Competition was tough.

My Half-Sister Virginia



Its a long and complicated story but basically my dad was married for a short time and had a daughter named Virginia. After my dad's divorce to Virginia's mother, he met my mom. They married and raised 3 children. Virginia moved away to Colorado as a small child and we didn't have contact with her over the years. Its crazy how things happen but after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, we have reconnected and become close over the past few years. I am very grateful for her and that things have blossomed the way they have. I miss my brothers so its nice to call someone sister.

This is Virginia and her two daughters, Monique and Marci. She was in town on July 25th and we had a BBQ. I haven't seen her in person for almost 12 years. Wow! Very fun night!

Max Moments: You are special



One of my favorite things about you is your sense of style. Whoever would have thought that moonboots and swim trunks would be so trendy!
