What's New

Oh, man. These past couple of months have been crazy! I've been busy getting The Treat Box Bakery set up, and we're finally up and running! My awesome mom graduated from BYU at the end of April, so we had a great time celebrating that with her. I also started taking care of my cousin's daughter, Shayla, before and after school. Lu was finally transferred from the AT&T store in West Valley to the one here in American Fork, so now he's just 5 minutes away, which is great. He also took a job as a night security guard, complete with a "police" badge! Here are a few pic's of the kiddies - look how fast they're growing! Sorry about the tiny pictures, they're the ones I take with my cell phone.


Here is Georgia with lotsa junk in her trunk...literally! Gibson thought it was funny one night to stuff her pants with about 10 toys. I thought I was going to die laughing~



Good morning, Georgia! Nice hair!






A few weeks ago, my grandpa (Grandpa Gary, to Gibson) gave him a fishing pole. A few days after Grandpa Gary left, Gibson found the pole at my mom's house and went outside to play with it. When we went to check on him, my mom and I found him "fishing" in their pond! He yelled to my mom, "Grandma, there's no fish in this pond!" Don't worry, buddy, Grandpa Gary will take you to catch a real fish soon!
