The update on our house...

We finally got the Stucco and the Rock on.



My brother Zack, came and surprised us with his talent in laying down the hardwood floor.


Chazz and Zyan came to help too. Chazz brought his cars, and we had fun making a race track out of the hardwood floor scraps.


Zack doing his thing.

Our good friend Jeff. Boy, What a BIG help he has been.

For Time and all Eternity.

On October 16, 2007, my nephew was sealed to his parents in the Provo Temple for Time and All Eternity. It was such a special day.

Bryson was adopted by my sister and brother-in-law back in March. For legal reasons, they had to wait to have him sealed and blessed when he reached 6 months of age.


What a joy Bryson has been for our whole family. We are so blessed to know that through our Heavenly Fathers Plan, we can be with our families for Time and all Eternity.

LEARNING HOW TO QUILT

This is my mom, Diane. She has been wanting me to learn how to quilt for the longest time. She has been quilting for 7 years and is so good at it. She has made so many quilts for people she loves. She is always excited to teach and show others what she has come to love. She is a great teacher! Halloween is coming up so I decided to make a Halloween quilt.

This is me sewing away. I am about 1/2 way done! I started the quilt on Friday and all weekend all I could think about was going to my mom's to work on the quilt. So I might have found a hobby.


This is how far I have gotten. I have 3 rows left.

What a great person my mom is. She is so caring, and is willing to help with anything you ask. I have enjoyed her company through her helping me learn how to quilt. Quilting is so fun. Everyone should try it.

I love to visit my nephew, Bryson!

Reading to Bryson. His favorite books are "David" books.

Trying to make him laugh. His smile is nothing but gums. So cute!


I love just watching him!

Giving Bryson his 3rd haircut. He is only 5 months old. He has got some good genes!

Our Families!

Randy's family can get a little wild n' crazy at times.

My family at my brother's wedding.

Randy's Dad and his two Brothers!

These are my awesome brothers and Dad, Harold, Kevin and Darrin . They have been so good to me all growing up, and if it weren't for them teaching me the things that they know, I would no be where I am today. It's always fun to get together, we always have so much fun!

Rachel's SISTERS!!!

These are my two sisters Erin and Taylor. They are my best friends. When ever we are together we have so much fun. We have so many great memories together. A fun memory I have about Erin is...All growing up we slept in the same room, and we would play different kinds of games before we went to bed, like..."Guess what I am thinking of in the room?" or we would just stay up talking until we feel asleep. We would always share our clothes, and we had the same friends. We loved to play paper dolls, and tease the boys in the ward. A fun memory I have about Taylor is.....She has always been around. Ever sense she was little I kind of swept her under my wing. Where ever Erin and I would go, she would go. We would play a game called "Jail Breaker" with the kids in our ward, and even though Taylor was so much younger she would always be there playing it with us. I love listening to music with her, and singing VERY LOUD. I enjoy being around Taylor, and it's always fun to have her sleep over. I love my sisters. I am so lucky to have them in my life!

Our Family Reunion!

Fun Times!

Randy loves to catch air on his 4-wheeler! This was at the sand dunes this summer.

On our anniversary Randy surprised me with an amazing helicopter ride over Heber Valley.


Randy has been teasing my little sister Taylor ever since she was born.

Family Fun!


Randy's sister-in-law Susan, challenged Randy to climb up
this tree to see who could get further. Guess who won?

Susan climbing up.

Randy taking a break on his way up.

If you look closely, Susan is in the top right side (the black dot) and Randy is only half way up.
Susan ended up winning. It was great entertainment!

Randy is having a hard time getting down. We almost had to call the fire department!


In the end, all is ok. Great sports!
