Brock Leaves on His Mission

My nephew, Brock Heal - was called in July to serve a mission in the

Washington Federal Heights Misson

These pictures were taken on the day of his farewell

 I love this picture showing Bronson's tortured face and wondering

if I'll ever stop talking so we can go home.

 Dave had to leave for Vernal the next morning and wouldn't be

there on Wednesday when we were meeting for breakfast before he

was dropped off at the MTC.

This picture melts my heart.  Brock has the Heal family have

been our back door neighbors since before he was born.

They are just lie our own children!

 We met Kneaders for breakfast the day he went entered the MTC

 He's been out 6 months now and is doing great!!

Girl's Camp 2017

 We survived another Girl's Camp at Mia Shalom

Lisa Brickey was our ward camp director and she was awesome!

This is the day when Emmie dropped off her gear and picked

up her camp sweatshirt.

 I am an Asst. Stake Camp Director and I work with some of the most amazing women!

This is me with Kanani Well, Julie Gilman, and Julie Esplin

 Our camp theme was "Heaven is Cheering you On!"

It was a great year and we are already in full planning mode for this year's camp!

Bronson's High School Graduation

Bronson graduated from Orem High the end of May, 2017

This is always a happy day for the senior - and for parents!

 Brock and Bronson

 Our Family

 The whole family :)

 Emmie found some friends :)

Emmie's Learner's Permit and Physical Therapy

In April 2017 - Emmie got her learner's permit and we started

teaching our very last driver!  She has watched me yell and scream

and everyone else as they learned to drive so she's actually pretty good!

 For the past year, Emmie has struggled with knee problems

diagnoses as Osgood Slaughter's Disease.

It happens when your growth plates are still open so you

grow faster than your muscles.  This has happened to her along the

front of her knee cap.  This has caused her to stop playing

soccer and she did physical therapy for quite awhile.

They are getting better, but she still struggles ;(

Spring Break 2017

We are homebodies and rarely travel.  

This year for Spring Break, my dad booked us his timeshare condo in San Diego

and forced us to go on vacation :)

My parents, Dustin, and the Heals came with us and we had a really good time!

 It's hard to vacation with married kids and juggle work and school schedules.

Emmie and Bronson were the only ones that came with us.

We need to plan another trip soon with everyone!

 Look at my rugged, handsome hubby!

 Bronson's hair struggled during this trip.  He wasn't very cooperative 

to fix it either!  What a goober :)

 Heading in to Knott's Berry Farm behind the Heal Family

 All of us as I try out my selfie stick skills!

 We had so much fun on the rides!  I had the time of my life!!

There is nothing I love more than a scary roller coaster and we rode every single ride -

more than once.  We all got a kick out of Brittany screaming on every ride!

Since Boston is tall enough to ride everything, she had no excuse to stay behind!!

 I love this picture of my dad with his grandsons

(dad, Dallin, Brock, Logan, and Bronson)
