Company Party


The Company party is a hit in Heber-we stay at our family property of about 40 acres, it has camping sites, bbqs, tons of sitting areas, basketball, volleyball, swing set, 4wheeling trails and the best part a river runs through it.




Hay rides were a great way to keep kids occupied

Checking out the projects


This is Ruth, Em's mom! She is a life saver in the office and has to deal with all the payroll and billing! Porter loves her when I'm not in the same room.

Crane Competition

We had 5 teams compete to build a crane out certain materials in a short time frame. It was pretty fun to watch all the guys at work. They got different amounts of points for load capacity, radius etc.









2 Engineers, 2 Skylers & a crane owner & an electrician=too many chiefs

Their crane was a bust! But the losers got to driver a beater van and crash all the other cranes down!


Logan loves to throw sticks & rocks in the river-his favorite is to play pooh sticks on the bridge.






Porter is obsessed with 4 wheeling-he loves it!



The Mundays made their famous Tri-tip...thank you thank your thank you!



Porter & Kruz are 2 weeks apart!

Temple Dedication


My mom got tickets to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication (of course...she gets tickets to everything!) and I was the lucky one who got to go with her-Skyler waited outside. We sat in one of the endowment rooms to watch it being broad casted from the Celestial room.



The talks were amazing and once the Dedicatory Prayer begun the Spirit was so strong. I'm so grateful I was able to be there! It was even President Monson's 82nd birthday.



After the service was over we waited in our room to leave, the Prophet and other speakers were leaving first. As I waited by the door a man popped his head in our room and I was so shocked it was President Monson the Prophet of the Lord right in front of me! I was giddy like a little kid-the usher asked the children to come up and none of them did so I went ahead and shook his hand and the only words I could think of was "Happy Birthday" I was still in shock. Dieter Uchdorf and a few others were also with him. He was the happiest cutest man ever! It will be a day I never forget.


I already love this Temple so much! I was able to volunteer as physical facilities and help restock bathrooms and keep everything clean inside and out during the Open House. I was able to clean and vacuum inside the Temple-3 days before the Temple dedication with a few friends. And our crane company was able to replace the Angel Moroni with a clean new one.

I am so encouraged to double my efforts in my Temple Attendance as the brethren have said-The Oquirrh Temple is such a blessing!

10 Year reunion

Elizabeth & I pose in front of the door just like in high school!

Craig Blois was one of buddies who I was glad showed up.

It is so funny because I was so excited to see Eliza even though we live 5 minutes away from each other. It always takes an event for us to get together.

Jill Vasant another one of my good buds I was thrilled to see. I didnt get many pictures because as you can imagine I was talking the whole night. It was like a weird dream to see everyone again.

Hey I won an award...being Married the Longest!

Surprise!


My girlfriend Carrie wanted to throw a surprise party for her Grandma Helen (who I adore!) so we had a blast having all her friends over and enjoyed lunch and treats together.

Helen is the kindest & funniest person ever! You just light up when you talk to her.


My sister had a Panini Party so I had to copy her fabulous idea!
A few asked for the ingredients:
1st Panini: Pear, carmelized onions, fontina cheese, sage and ciabatta bread
2nd Panini: Pesto, sundried tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and ciabatta bread

I had my mom make her fabulous veggie basket! It was payback since my sister & I always had to make it for her parties:) Thanks mom!Posted by Picasa

Lisa and I tried to imitate Nothin' Bundt Cakes and we succeeded!!!


Fabulous Friends and Sisters from our Ward

Lori, Mom and Linda and Danielle in the back...Carrie is not pictured she hid very well from the camera!
