Our darling little Lauren is 1/2 way through 2nd grade! I can't believe it. She will be 8 in February. Here is a slide show and some music from her Holiday Concert at school. The last song makes me want to cry every time I hear the sweet little voices. She did such a great job learning her songs thanks to her great music teacher Mr Beck. He is amazing and brings out the best in the kids.

Brittany visits Allie in Colorado, 2005

A few years ago, Allie was taking horseback riding lessons at a therapeutic riding program in Loveland called "Hearts and Horses". Brittany came to visit that summer and came to watch Allie ride. She really liked the horses and was excited to pet them. This was around 2005, I think. --Sue

Lilys First Day of College

Lily has finished her first week of College!!!
We are so proud of Lily, we took her to move into the Honors Dorm at Chico State University in Chico California on August 20th. We spent 3 days with her helping her settle in and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. She took her fabulous felt curbside bike that Uncle Matt and Aunt Candace gave her for graduation and left her car home. It is a very bike friendly town. The kids in the dorm were great and she is impressing everyone with her vegetarian cooking (although the boys in the dorm are a bit disappointed, they were quite hopeful when they saw all the cooking gear) Lily graduated from West High School with a full International Baccalaureate Diploma, letting her start college with a semester of college credit! She finds Chico, friendly, hot and full of people just like her. We wish her the best of luck and know all the doors to a successful adulthood are going to fly open for her.

Greg's Furniture Stores

My brother Greg and his family owns and operates Knight's Mattress & Furniture Outlets in six locations in Utah. They are constantly shopping the world markets for the best deals in quality furniture. Greg maintains the lowest margins on name brands, and gets large shipments direct from the manufacture to cut out costs. Be sure to drop by and say Hi when you are in the neighborhood of one of his stores. Tell him Hello from Sue for me!

Candice and Matt... it was a beautiful day in more ways than one!

Corbin as ring bearer... "these knots look like they need tightening"....

I now pronounce you...... you may kiss the bride!

Visiting Dad - August 16, 2008

It was just a beautiful day, the day of Candice's and Matt's wedding. Jenny lives in Lehi, so it was very convenient to stop by to say Hello to Dad. I promised to give Candy a hug from him... and I did.
