Circus, Circus, What a Fun Place for Kids . . .

Sean went with Steven, McKay and I to Circus, Circus. Everyone had a really good time. McKay enjoyed the time he got to spend with Sean. Thank you for going with us Sean.

McKay loves going on rides.

The boy in red was so cute to McKay. He put his arm around McKay on the ride.

Hi McKay, we hope you had a nice time at Circus, Circus.

My Family on Our Anniversary . . .

I love my dear husband, he is a loving husband and father.

I love being a wife to Steven and a mother to McKay. We also really missed our foster girls while we were on vacation.

Happy 11th Anniversary Sweetheart . . .

Steven and I celebrated our 11th anniversary while on vacation in Las Vegas. We decided to order room service and enjoy a fun evening together with McKay.

Our room was gorgeous.

We had a breathtaking view of the golf course from our window. Too bad we don't play golf.

Steven and McKay having a good time together.

McKay loved his ball and the hat that Grandpa Butala gave him.

We Love Grandpa Butala . . .

We arrived in Vegas on Friday the 19th and went over to Steven's Dad's house. McKay had a lot of fun playing with Grandpa Butala. Those two had a good time together. We all love Grandpa Butala. Happy Father's Day.

We Enjoyed our Vacation to St. George and Vegas . . .

I love the St. George Temple. It was a gorgeous day.

McKay enjoyed running up and down the stairs.

I love knowing that families can be together forever.

We spent some time in the visitor's center.

Now, that's a cute boy.

I Am So Proud of My Father . . .

I want my father to know how much we love and appreciate him. He is the greatest father in the whole world and the best grandpa ever. My father just received a new church calling in one of the BYU wards and Steven and I had the priviledge of going over to campus on Sunday when he was set apart. It was a wonderful opportunity for us. Also, Father's Day is this next weekend and since we will be out of town, McKay and I went over to my parents house last night so we could tell Dad how much we love him, wish him a Happy Father's Day and give him our gifts and cards. We are very proud of you Dad and have always looked up to you. Thank you for always being there for your children and grandchildren. Not only have you taught us the gospel, but you have lived it throughout your life while serving your family, 4 missions, your church callings, etc. You are an amazing man and we love you so much. Happy Father's Day.

Happy Birthday to My Dear Husband . . .

Happy Birthday Steven. You are a wonderful husband and father and I love you with all my heart. I hope you know how much I enjoy being married to you and living my life with you. Thank you for being the person you are and for radiating the gospel in our home. I am proud of you and appreciate the kindness you show to our son and foster daughters. One day, I hope to be able to serve a mission with you.

A Fun Day at Hogle Zoo . . .

McKay and the girls really enjoyed the Merry Go Round, this is a new attraction at the Zoo.

This elephant sprays water to anyone who gets in front of it. McKay thought it was a lot of fun to ride on its trunk.

You cannot leave the Zoo without riding on the train.

We had a wonderful day at the Zoo on Saturday. It rained all the way going up, but it ended up to be a great day and everyone had a good time.
