The Four Musketeers

1998

Mike & I met at BYU in Provo, married and lived there while he finished his degree. 

My sister Lori & her husband Dwayne also met at BYU, married and lived there while completing their degrees.

We had our first babies within weeks of each other & our second babies within 6 months of each other.

Our kids went to the same babysitter during our working/school years.

JT and Chan attended the same preschool.

We lived nearly next door for several years.

We shared vacations, holidays, birthdays,

happiness, heartache & many "firsts".

Our boys were best buddies, partners in crime, inseparable.

August 2001

Our little family of 4 went to 

Michigan to visit family.
We visited Dow Gardens.

goofed around with the fam...

(believe it or not, this is a regular occurrence with my family)

and played at the park

but my favorite part of the trip was the day we spent at 
Lake Michigan...

we were visiting 
the Burtch family in Holland

we spent the day sightseeing

took pizza to the beach

played in giant holes in the sand

walked out to the lighthouse

it was a beautiful day...

the water was so tempting

but only a couple of us had 

swimsuits on

So... in a moment of pure genius 

my mom jumped in the water, 

fully clothed

before long my dad joined her...

and Mike...

and eventually the entire family ended up in the lake, 
laughing & splashing...

 We were still smiling as the sun set on this perfect day.

Oo-da-lolly, Oo-da-lolly, 
Golly what a day!

1987

Really.... who needs pants when you've got your best gal, a phone, corn nuts & 8 hours of free time.

As Molly & I were looking through old photos, we realized that there was a common theme in many of our photos.
No pants.
Don't ask why because we couldn't tell you.

Good Times!

September 2003
Being called as a Cub Scout Leader when we first moved into the
Val Vista Ward was such a blessing.
* i love cub scouts
* my son McKay was one of my cub scouts (bonus)
* i really enjoyed the boys in my cub scout troop
(in photo: Conner, Archer, Tyler, Lucas, Kolby, Chase & McKay)
* i was partnered with Venetia & we became lifelong friends

And speaking of lifelong friends,
would you believe that
Chase & McKay
still have the same enthusiasm
to this day?
(5 years later)
you better believe it!
