Bloomington Lake --Drew

This is Drew's second time I think....The first time Andy was at the bottom of the shore ready to use his life saving skills he learned in Scouts.

Bear Lake 2009 Family Reunion

Managed to put in a family vacation this summer. Had all the Merlin Wilson Family to Bear Lake. Hadn't been there for 3 years! Camped two nights, Made bottle rockets, took the boat, hiked to Bloomington Lake, and did all the other fun camp stuff.

School Days 2009-2010

A new school year and a lot of new things to celebrate! Janae has graduated to the Jr. High and seems to be coming into her own element. A friend of mine commented that she was the most outgoing Beehive she has ever met! Janae talks to anyone and loves to have lots of friends. Drew and Zach went back to the 5th grade and 2nd grade. No more bossy big sister to bug them. They are like two bachalors doing their own thing. Zach thinks his teacher is pretty. Drew has the meanest teacher in the school (that is what everyone told him when they found out who his teacher was) but said that he liked her. That is what I like....a positive thinker!


Thanks to Aunt Stephanie that made the nerves fly away with the biggest ring-o- sugar Janae has ever seen. Made her day!!!

King's Peak

A family in the ward organized a hike to King's Peak. For those of you that don't know, King's Peak is the highest peak in Utah. It is an eight mile hike to the base camp which is done the first day. Then the second day is a 7 mile hike to the top and 7 back to camp. Then the same 8 mile hike back to the cars. This is all done with packs filled with all the things you might need to live for three days. The average weight is 40 pounds. They didn't make it to the top because there was still snow on the ground and a few scouts were not fully prepared. But there were memories made and I'm sure many will return to try and finish.

A Story 12 years in the Making

When Janae was a little girl, there was one thing that Andy and I didn't agree on. Oddly enough it was at what age Janae could get her ears pierced. I wanted 8 because that was when I got mine done. Andy insisted on 16! Whatever! We compromised at 12Does she look a little scared?

New Doo

Janae has wanted a hair cut for awhile now and I was in need of a change too. So, one Saturday we went to the Cutting Crew Salon and asked Gina to help us out. Janae had brought two pictures of different ideas. She really didn't know which one to choose. I went first to give her some more time to decide. She went with the more dramatic one. I love it and so does she! Gina did a fabulous job.
