Baby Brock

Some of you already know, and some of you don't. But, my sister Rebecca had her baby last week. They got a beautiful baby boy named Brock Anthony Donahue. He was born on June 23rd and weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz. He's such a cutie! He looks just like his older brother Alex when he was born! This is the 23rd grankid for my parents.

South Willow

This last weekend we went camping up in South Willow Canyon. It was so much fun! It was the first time we got to try out some of our new camping gear that we have been acquiring.

Brady made this grill to put over the fire. So we made hamburgers right over the fire, it was so fun, and they were yummy!

My parents, Loie and Ef, came up to enjoy dinner with us in the great outdoors!

Brady got to test out his new hatchet and loves it!

We got to sleep in the new tent that I got Brady for Christmas. It was perfect! Although it was hard to get to sleep because the people in the camp just down from us were drunk and got in a fight and finally the sherriff came to break it up. Crazy!

Skydiving

Some of you may have seen this on the news. All my cousins, my uncle, and my Uncle's mother went skydiving together. My uncle's mom is 98 years old! She's a firecracker! Check out this video:

Happy Birthday Dad and Grandma!

Yesterday was both my Dad's and Grandma's Birthdays. They are both wonderful people and I'm so grateful for their examples. They are both beacons of light in my life.

My dad has always been a rigtheous example to all those around him. He is a knowlegable spiritual leader. But, he can also be the life of the party! I love you dad!

My Grandma Lisenbee just turned 91 years old. She has lived a life full of selfLESS service, to her family, to her ancestors, and to all those around her. She is the picture of virtue, kindness, and humilty. I love you Grandma!

4 Years Ago

I can't believe it. Four years ago this week I entered the MTC! June 16th, 2004. It was a very exciting, but nerve-wracking day. It was hard to say good-bye to all my family, but at the same time, I was soooo excited! But, I'm so grateful for all that has happened since that day. I had so many experiences and made so many friends on my mission, I would never give it up!

And I think about how much my life has changed since then. Now I speak Spanish, I've graduated from college, married, living in Salt Lake, and working full-time. It's crazy how life can change and how so many blessings can come.

Cabining

This weekend we went cabining. (Camping, but in a cabin!) We went to Brady's friend's cabin up Fairview Canyon. We had fun four-wheeling. We rode through some fields that were just covered with little flowers, and it was so beautiful!
We also went fishing! We went out on a little paddle boat and fished. We caught tons of fish. I caught the biggest one, but the littlest one too, so... I can't really brag. We filleted the fish and ate them tonight for dinner! They were soooo good!

On Friday night we drove down to the Manti Pageant (it's only an hour away from the cabin). It's tradition! 2 years ago Brady and I went to the Manti Pageant on our first date.

I'm done! Finally!!!

I've been designing a newspaper insert for the Days of '47. I thought I had another week to work on it, but I got a call yesterday and they told me I had to have it done by today! So I worked on it from the time I got home from work until 2 am, then again all morning long. But, I finally got it done! So everybody be sure to check it out. It will be running in both Des News and the Trib (I think) on July 1st. I didn't do the entire thing. But, anything that has the banner across it, I designed! I didn't do the artwork, I'm not that good. It's actually a painting by Eric Dowdle. But, I put the pages together.
