Our Beloved Prophet

We are very saddened by the passing of our dear Prophet.

Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley passed away at the age of 97. He has done so many wonderful things, there aren't words to describe his greatness. I will always remember getting to be in the same room as he dedicated the Hinckley Building on BYU-I campus. We will miss him.

Little Horticulturist

As I was carefully mending a pair of my favorite jeans I was disturbed by the silence around me. Of course this could only mean one thing...

Did I do that?

Hair we are!

I thought that these pictures were kind of funny.

I have combed Jack's hair several different ways,

yet it always ends up fluffy and straight.


My brother Justin is a leader in their BOY'S cheering section for high school basketball games. They always come up with the craziest do's.

My sister Mindy helped him with this one.

Weekend Fun

Went to Rexburg this weekend and was able to go to the temple open house.

What a beautiful place! It was truly amazing.

Next, I was so excited to see and get reaquainted with friends from high school. These are a few shots of some of their kids. My camera is terrible and doesn't do these adorables justice.

Finally, my parents brought me home, we went swimming at Lava Hot Springs,

then made it to a mission report in Utah.

It was a full, fun weekend! Thanks everybody!

Family Fun

Christmas was a blast spent with the Barrick family. There is always plenty of good food!

This was Jack's first Christmas, I think that he did well opening his gifts. He seemed to like the paper and bows more than his toys.

This kid loves to scratch his forehead.
This was our unique tree cut from the hills. We couldn't find a pretty, full one...

so, this one was next best. It splits into three separate trees. I loved it!
