Happy 20 Years "In Sickness & In Health"

I can't even believe it's been 20 years. I still can remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. It was the happiest day of my life, thus far, but now looking back over 20 years, we have had more happiest days since then. The birth of our 4 children, watching our children grow and develop into the gospel and into this society, becoming wonderful individuals, building our 2 homes together, watching one of our children graduate from high school, etc.

Everyday seems to be a happy day for me. I love my husband so much, we have grown together through the years. It's funny, in the vows it says," For richer, for poorer, IN SICKNESS and in Health..." Well for our 20th Anniversary, I had something planned for us as a surprise and we were going to go to Vegas for the night, to the hotel that we stayed at for our honeymoon. Well I came home sick from work and have been sick all night. Then Bryan came home and he was sick too. So the morning of our Anniversary we were both in OUR bed, puking and so sick. Oh well, "In sickness and in health" hahahaha I told you, we do everything together!!!

3 Bear Ranch

Trevor and his 3 cousins: Andrew, Richard & Michael all got to go to Grandma and Grandpa's Ranch- "3 Bears Ranch" for a week to help grandpa with lots of different projects. They started this tradition this year and the rule was they had to be over 12 to be able to go.

Cambria's Hawaii Adventure

My sister Irene took her Las Vegas to catch her plane and while at the hotel my mom and dad met them there to spend the night with them. They went swimming, out to eat and did some Retail Therapy. Cambria loves her grandpa.

Last Rugby Game-State

Our Rugby Season is finally over and lucky for us Trevor only received a slight concussion in a game and was injury free for the rest of the season. Trevor loved learning a new sport and enjoyed meeting new friends and really loved the adrenaline rush that came with Rugby. He just missed soccer alot this season. So he might be going back to soccer next year, we will see. The Snow Canyon Boys Rugby Team went to University of Utah to play for State. Our 9th/10th grade team didn't do very well, we lost 8-28 or something like that. Next sport-FOOTBALL!!

Youth Conference

The girls from the 9th Ward challenged the boys from the 9th Ward to a tug o war. First match was the girls and their leaders against the boys. Well the girls ended up winning, so the boys said, "NO LEADERS" so they challenged them again with NO LEADERS.

We won again!!! Take a closer look and see why we won!! hahahaha

They never saw the help that we got, we just let them continue to think that we won. hahaa

Trevor was on the dunk tank.

The Stake YW Presidency:

Youth Conference for the Ivins Stake was held at home this year and was a total success. We started on Thursday morning and went until Saturday afternoon. The kids had an absolute blast. They started off with meeting at the Tabernacle and getting to know you games, then went swimming at the Ence's pool and other activities then ended the evening with watching, "17 Miracles". Amazing movie-the youth were suppose to watch The Little Mermaid at Tuacahn, but it wasn't ready to be seen, so the bishop from our ward was able to get a hold of a copy of the movie "17 Miracles" and we had our own preview, since they were previewing it in Salt Lake City and Opening Night was planned for Friday night. The movie was incredible, some of the miracles that took place, could've ONLY been miracles. They were amazing. "Faith Precedes The Miracle"

The next day started off with breakfast and then onto a History Tour with their groups. They went to the Jacob Hamlin Home, Brigham Young's Home, The Visitor Center and a Movie at the Visitor Center. Afterwards they heard Hyrum Smith speak and then a water park fun at the park. They had a huge slip n slide, a dunk tank, tug o war, a big blow up torpedo slide, water volleyball, etc. The kids had a blast. They ended the evening with an etiquette dinner and dance. My son had fun with his little entourage of friends, and the little girls were having fun watching their every move.

Saturday ended up with a wonderful dutchoven breakfast, speakers and testimony meeting. The kids seem to enjoy the movie "17 Miracles", so many of them expressed their love for the pioneers and the incredible miracles that took place. It was a great youth conference.

Sydnee's Summer Begins PARTY

Every end of school year since we have moved into this home, which was when Cambria was in 8th grade we have had an end of school pool party for Cambria, Cecilee and Trevor's Friends, now it's Sydnee's turn.

My kids

Every chance I get to take a picture of all four of my children together, I TAKE IT!!! I always think, it's getting closer and closer to when I won't have all of them under the same roof. So no matter how they look, or what time it is, I will snap the picture. My kids were saying, "Not now mom, look at what we look like!" I said, "Either you smile or frown, I will take it anyways, you decide how you want to look, you always look better with a smile!!!"

Trevor is Trevor--Doesn't like having his picture taken or his sister's hanging on him!!! TOOOO BAD!!!

Guess who's walking?

We had Tia & Andy and the kids over the other night and Legend just loves walking around the walls, the couch, the windowsills, chairs, etc. So we thought, lets see how he does by himself. So we let him go and had him walk to Tia or myself or Cambria. He was loving it. By the time they left, he was exhausted. He is getting so close to just doing away with the walls and everything else. Watch out Tia, he is going to be running everywhere, especially to keep up with Major.

He was so proud of himself!!! He wanted that pretzel rod!!!!
