Early August 2021-- Ethan's baptism, Julie-Jason to TX, Mike's family to UT

Ethan was baptized on August 7, 2021 in Orem with all four of his grandparents and many uncles, aunts, and cousins in attendance.  





Uncle Mike's family came from Colorado.  


 Back:  Jason, Keith, Mike, Mordecai with Ethan and John in front.

Grandpa and Grandma, and Mike's and Keith's family went to Temple Square.




In the Church History Museum there is a new children's temple area.

On Sunday, August 8, 2021, we had 26 out of our 35 family members in our home!


Ivy is very flexible.  

Lydia and Milly will begin full day Kindergarten this month.  


Emily and Talisa will be in Tenth Grade.  

Mordecai played the piano for us.  Many of the grandchildren play the piano well.  

The front porch is a great place to eat. 


Jason leads the group in a game.  


Keith plays with Sarah and Spencer.
