Annie got baptized!!




Annie was baptized on November 27, 2009...the day after Thanksgiving! Ian baptized her and Ralph confirmed her. It was a simple sweet occasion with just the family, a member of the bishopric (Tim) and his wife (Valerie) and their son Soren, and I think all the missionaries in the area. The opening song sounded so awesome with all those priesthood voices! It was a very perfect baptism!! Just what we wanted!

Soon to be missionary!



My son is preparing for his mission and just completed all the paperwork yesterday! I am so excited for him! And, of course he makes his momma very proud! When "the call" comes, we'll be sure to let you all know!

I love UGG boots!



These cute little boots are officially on my wish list! I'll probably just go buy them myself instead of dropping hints all over the place or leaving pictures on my blog!
PS...I did go buy them and they are very cute and comfortable! The best part of all is that I got them 20% less than suggested retail!

Halloween Invitational Oct. 2009

Abigail competed in a Club Meet on Halloween Day and here's how she did:

2nd place girls 11-12 200 Yard Free Relay with a time of 2:20.83
2nd place girls 11-12 200 Yard Medley Relay time 2:34.94
2nd place girls 11-12 50 Yard Breast time 41:32
3rd place girls 11-12 50 Yard Free time 33:51
4th place girls 11-12 100 IM time 1:25.53 (dropped 2 seconds)
4th place girls 11-12 50 Yard Fly time 40.72 (she dropped 5 seconds!)
4th place girls 11-12 50 Yard Back time 40.37 (dropped 33 hundredths of a second)

So, overall in the Girls ages 11-12 she came in 3rd place. Not too shabby!!

There is another meet the middle of November...the last opportunity to qualify for more age group events. She's already in 7 now but wants to add the 100 Back and possibly the 200 IM. I think if she goes with 7 events that will be good...it's a lot!

Swimming is awesome!!

2009 Regional Finals





Here are a couple pictures from last nights meet. The first is the West Valley Girls team Regional champions. The second is Mallory and a couple team mates and the third is Mallory on the podium receiving her 3rd place recognition for the 100 Breast. She swam a 1:16.61. She did great but unfortunately, it wasn't a qualifying time for State. Her 200 Medley Relay team came in 2nd in Regionals also but it wasn't a qualifying time for State. West Valley girls did great overall in Regionals and claimed First Place over the other schools in our Region. They did awesome!!
