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.

Riding a tandem bike at our family reunion. It's hard!!!

I love being an aunt, but can't wait to be a mother!

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!


My Sister's Adoption Experience


On March 24th Bryson was welcomed into my sister's family. They had such an incredible adoption experience and know he was meant to be apart of their family. They love keeping in touch with Bryson's birth mother and set up a blog just for her so she'll alway know how Bryson is doing. Even though we have never met Bryson's birth mother, we all love her so much for the sacrifice she made. Bryson has been such a blessing to our family and we love him so much!

Guitar Hero!

Randy and I LOVE to play GUITAR HERO in our spare time!


Our New House!

Recently all of our free time has been spent building our new home. We go there after work everyday until dusk. We are so excited to see how far it progresses each day. It's due to be finished in November.

What a stud!
