This is a layout that I did from the Quote Challenge.  I thought the quote fit them both.

Throwing Eggs at the Bridge!!!

We were staying in Leamington and Sister Ballard call and asked us if we wanted to go throw eggs at the bridge.  WHAT?   Sure, that sounds like fun.  So we gathered a bunch of eggs and met at the bridge.  We brought spoons to have spoon races and then just had a blast throwing them at the bridge.  Sooooo much fun!

Go Grizzlies!

When the Youth from our ward went to the BYU basketball game, the Deacons weren’t able to go because the were attending a Pow Wow.  So their leader Brother Kent said that if they would do the Pow Wow, that he would take them to a Hockey game.  So Tyler and Kirk went to watch the Grizzlies.  They had a great time.

Lowes workshop 2003

The boys always had such a fun time going to the Lowe’s workshop with Kirk.  They would go every month to do a new project.  The first time they got an apron and safety goggles.  Each time that they completed their project they would receive a pin to put on their apron and a certificate.

Reading a story with GGma Evers

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.
