He has been called to serve in CapeTown South Africa 🇿🇦!! He leaves in just 3 days and my heart is so full of excitement and love for this boy. He is so ready and willing to serve the lord and the people of South Africa. He will be so missed around our house and in our daily lives. He is funny, hard working, eager to do good, achieves all he sets his mind too. What a great example he is to all of us. We love you and will be praying for you every day.

What a joy he is to our family!
He was Lovin it, that’s for sure!
We were so excited that Gavin made the basketball team.
It was a fun 3 month watching him. He defiantly was one of the smallest, but also
one of the fastest and a great play maker. From passing, free throws, steals, he
ended up playing most of all the games. They did lose more than they won but, It
was a wonderful experience and we loved watching him do what he loves.
Good Job #4
Copper Mtn Colts!
2014 is coming to an end, I really want to write down a couple things about each of us! just some highlights so they want untold or unwritten.
Payton: 5
She started Kindergarten, and gets to ride the bus. She passed level one of swimming lessons, she took dance and performed at Lagoon. She slept the last 10 month with her brother Gavin. But did get a Daybed in her room a few weeks ago and has slept in it every night since. She is full of spunk and is very out going with family and people she knows, but at school and church is she very shy. She loves bananas, eggs, milk, hanging out with her siblings, singing, watching Netflix and playing with her best friend Courtney. Also certainly she is on the nice list.
Whitney: 12
She started 7th grade and now in middle school. She is one of the smallest, but that defiantly doesn't distract form her personality. You can usually find her in the Kitchen baking, watching Netflix, playing with friends and her little sister. She loves science and volleyball. She is enjoy Young Woman's and also taking a dance class. She got a new bed a few weeks ago and she loves it. She is super responsible and helps her mom out a lot.
Gavin: 15
He turned 15 this year! Got his Drivers License Permit. Tried out for Student Body Officer again and made it. He also made the Freshman Basketball team. Which is just starting and will be hopefully be a good experience for him. He just earned his LIFE in scouting so now we are looking for a eagle project to do. He works as a sweeper for Jordan school district. He is a motivated kid and always looking for projects to work on and loves Trivia and watching the Jazz and Seahawks with his Dad. He also shot a deer this past fall. He got braces on this past spring and already can see a big difference. He always makes plans with all his friends and informs what his plans are. Typical teenager I guess.
Tristin: 17
Over the last year he went to his Jr Prom, and been on a few more dates. He did work for Jordan School District. Spent the summer in Cedar City working Construction for Alder Construction. Currently he work at Texas Roadhouse. He received his Eagle Scout this year. He spent 4 days on a house boat with his dad and scout leaders and loved it. He loves his truck, his phone and hanging out this friends (girls), milk, and going to Beaver. He is the Pres. of this Priest class and is very good at it. He is a very good example to everyone. He can’t wait for high school to be over. He helps me so much each day and won’t know that to do with out him.
Scott and Vicki: 40 & 39
We celebrated our 20th year wedding anniversary! We travelled to 19 different states this year. We went on a bike ride to Death Valley CA, it was a great ride and very interesting Also took a ride over to Capital Reef, Escalante, Bryce Canyon which was very beautiful. Utah is such a pretty place to live. We also went on the Church History tour with my parents and 6 of my siblings and there spouses. It was absolutely the high light of our year. We will never forget the memories made and the feeling we felt while there. We camped a lot this summer and fall and all the kids enjoyed it. It is so great to spend so much time with family. Scott painted and did my Craft room for me this year. I love it and enjoy making and doing what I do. It as been a heaven on earth for our family this year, having all the kids still at home. We have been fully aware that our kids are getting older and will be leaving home soon. We have loved our time with each of them, and enjoy spending everyday moments with them. Scott loved going to Lake Powell with Tristin and also hunting deer with Gavin this year. Vicki now knows that having girls includes a lot of baking, crafting, doing hair, painting nails and teaching them new things. We have truly been blessed this year and looking forward to what next year will bring our way.
“Come what may and Love it”
We finally got our photos back!
I scheduled our family mini session about 4 months ago. www.morgansladephotography.com
She did amazing! We are so happy the way they turned out and feel she captured some priceless moments.
The pictures truly bring out our personality and love for one another.
I had a hard time picking out just 25, and Morgan was nice enough to give me 4 additional.

Our Heaven on Earth
These Photo are of a family that works together, plays together, prays together, we strength each other, we enjoy each other, and likes making each other feeling loved.
