City Creek Mall opened the middle of March so Roger and I thought we'd make a day out of it and go to lunch and then hit the mall shops. What a huge place! You could get lost so easy. I love that the Salt Lake Temple is in the background. We didn't buy much but we sure enjoyed the day just being together.
I came across moms funeral program and wanted to put it on my blog. It brings back so many memories of this day. She had wonderful speakers and singers and the songs she had chosen were so fitting for the type of person she was. I miss her so very much and wish my children could have known her and had the opportunity to form memories of her.
Makinley and her daddy. I'm so proud to have a son who honors his Priesthood and is able to perform these important events for his children.
Gardners and Grandpa waiting to see Makinley baptized.
We gave her a few things for her baptism. One was this beautiful frame for her baptism picture. Something she can always have and cherish. We also gave her a CTR necklace and some wood blocks for her bedroom that are CTR.
What a beautiful family.
Little Easton is dreaming about the day he's going to be baptized in 5 years. I love his pant leg tucked into his boot. What a sweety.
Grandma and Grandpa with their sweetheart.
Makinley turned 8 on March 16th. A special birthday for sure. I took her shopping for clothes the week before her birthday and this cute outfit is one she chose all by herself. We had so much fun walking in the mall holding hands and going from store to store. She loves going shopping with her Grandma.
She's ready to open all her gifts from her family and us. I had already let her wear all her clothes we got her but we had to throw in an extra few for her to open.
She's really into Justin Bieber so I couldn't resist getting this beach towel for her.
She certainly loves her Papa and I know he loves her.
Makinley got lots of birthday cards from her class friends. She loved reading all of them too.
Isn't this what birthdays are all about? Look at his face. He is so elated with all his presents.
Colby turned the big 4 on Feb. 25th. He had a fun little party with a bunch of his friends. The house was full of kids making a huge mess haha..
Gentry loved the cupcakes that Aunt Kori made.
Ha! Typical kid huh? They love the frosting. 
It's so cute how Adaline is trying to help her Papa blow out his candles. Kids are so cute..
It's a bowling party at Fat Cats in Provo. We all had so much fun but bowled like crap except for Jared.
Kristi has the right form
Kori, Addie and Kristi having a fun time.
Look at those cute smiles. Gentry loves her Papa.
Jared and Easton waiting their turn to bowl.
I think Kori rolled a strike and she's pretty excited about it
This was supposed to be a picture of me and Jared but Troy always loves to get his mug shot in the picture. I love these boys!
My sweet Colby. Look at that cute face.
Kori in her new yellow pants Troy bought her. She thinks she's all it. lol Which she is.
Look at the lefty bowling!!
My sweetheart as he reads his card from me. He always gets emotional and I love it. 
My cute husband. It's hard to believe we're as old as we are. But I pray God will bless him to be with me many more years. I don't know what I'd do without him. He's my rock. Happy 55th birthday honey.
Daxton was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Feb. 11,2012. On his Papa's birthday. I"m so proud of him for choosing the right and making the right decision. He's such a happy young man. Full of spunk. He loves to talk your head off and is so smart. On the day of his baptism there were 15 kids being baptized too so there were a lot of people. But I don't think there were as many supporters as Daxton had. Lots of friends and family came to witness this great ordinance.
Look at all the people who came to support him.
His daddy baptized and confirmed him. What a special day for him. I pray he'll always remember this special day and keep his promises to his Heavenly Father and always be an active member of the church.
