Tyler is thirTEEN!
Tyler choose to go to Boondocks for his 13th birthday this year. He invited his good friend Tolby to come with him. They had a blast riding the go carts, playing lazertag and the arcade games. He’s pretty proud of the fact that he is no longer a “Tweener” , but officiall a “TEEN”.
Photography 101
My sister and I taught a Digital Scrapbooking class for her ward and then afterwards there was a photographer there to teach us how to use our cameras better. I learned about aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and ISO. There were a couple of Seniors from their ward that modeled for us. I still need to practice A LOT to get everything I learned down. But it was a start.
BYU Basketball Game
We took the Young Women and Young Men of our ward and we to a BYU basketball game. I was a great game. I finally learned who “Jimmer” is.
Christmas 2002
Santa: “What is it that you want for Christmas”
Tyler: “I want a pogo stick, if you can find springs”
I just love the wonder and excitement of Christmas. Traditions of reading the Nativity, singing your favorite Christmas carols and the anticipation of opening gifts.
Can you tell that Tyler is into anything that keeps him moving. This year he got a mitt and a bating stand, a skateboard, and Santa was able to find springs and bring him a pogo stick.

Scrapbooking Retreat #1
My sister Lori and I planned and put together a Digital Scrapbooking retreat this past January. It was so much fun. We had ladies from, Idaho, Washington, and Colorado plus here in Utah come. We taught, had workshops on photo printing, journaling and photography and had a blast doing Speed Scraps, Bingo, and other challenges throughout the two days. We look forward to many more retreats.
It was so much fun to see 3 of our Creative Team members. Amy came from Washington, Sherri, came from Colorado and Brooke is from here in Utah. They design with the kits that we design so that we can show people the versatility.

Bona Voce Valentine Dinner
Derick is in an advanced singing group called, Bona Voce. They did a fundraiser for Valentines Day and we were able to enjoy a nice dinner and entertainment. Derick, did a great job. He did a solo to the song “Somebody” from the show Glee. I didn’t know he could sing that high. I was a fun night.
Derick’s Baptism Day
Derick was Baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, on November 30, 2002.
Grandpa Marchant gave a talk on being baptized, he gave all the kids that were being baptized a Key. Which represented that being baptized was one of the keys to returning back home to our Heavenly Father. Grandma Marchant gave a talk on, receiving the Holy Ghost. She made Derick a white blanket which represented the Gift of the Holy Ghost and how we can feel warm when we listen and feel the Holy Ghost. Uncle Doug and Uncle Chad sang, “I am a child of God” and Derick sang, “I want to be a missionary now.”
What a wonderful day it was for Derick to be baptized by Kirk, and to have family and friends there.

Valentines Day FHE and cookies
Kaitlin did our Family Home Evening lesson tonight. Which happened to be on Valentines day. She did a great lesson on showing love for others. And then she broke out her cake decorating supplies and we decorated Grandma Marchant’s Sugar cookies. Delicious!
Valentines Day Dinner, Courtesy of my Mom
I did this layout as part of February’s Quote challenge. When I read the quote, “If there is anything better than to be loved, it is loving.” I thought of my Mom and her selfless acts of service. My Mom is the perfect example of “Loving”. Always giving of herself. Thanks, Mom For the wonderful Valentine Dinner.
Me!
This is my birth announcement that my Mom sent to everyone.
And then this is my brother Brett and I. We were Flower Girl and Ring Bearer for Randy& Gayle's wedding.

Derick & Shay
Derick and Shay played ”A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief” at my parents mission farewell. Wow, was it beautiful!

Only BOYS allowed!
The only way that Kaitlin could go into Tyler’s “Fort” is if she was a boy. He had her dress in his clothes and
made her put a bandana on her head to cover her hair. I’d say she makes a pretty cute little boy, for a girl.
Summer of 2006 when we lived in the Foley Home.

Happy Valentines Day to my Sweetheart.
This is a picture of the night Kirk and I decided that we were going to get married. I am so grateful to be married to this man after almost 20 years. Love you, Kirk. I also had to share this card that Kirk gave me this year. I just love it.
