Christy

I love My little family. WE have enjoyed the summer. Our pictures were fun the kids ended up swimming in the Ocean. My fifth child was hard to get there but he came and was happy. I Have been roller blading, running, and biking. I love hanging out with my Friends... Barb, Gina, Jen, Malinda, Heather, Kelli, Joanna, and Jennifer. I have been walking with my neighbor Jen Burgess and her girl friends. It has been great. I have been scrapbooking and getting pictures organized. I have been cleaning out my home. Trent has been uneasy with that but like I said it is good for him. I went to Utah 2 months ago. I saw my cousin Daniel get married to Katie. They are so cute. I spent alot of time with Trents Family and with my Aunt Stacey. Stac I love you and it was really good to see you. I saw Stephen and Jobi baby Addison Maleiha Baker. I stayed at my Brother Bryce and Katies home with My Aunt, Stephen and Jobi. I love there boys. They are alot of fun. I miss the boys. We looked at pictures of the black family and some of my own. Bryce you are truly my brother. Katie it was so great spending time with you. I love you just like my own sister. Trina came over to visit. I want you to know you really are my sister. Your kids are so sweet and cute. I went out to dinner with Allen, Gerb, Racheal, and Jeremy. It was an Italian place in Provo. We even had music played right at our table. It was the best. It was great to finally meet Jeremy. I hung out with Allen/Gerbs family and it felt like I was home. I love your kids like my own. I had so many memories come back to Trent and I dating. Allen and Gerb I love your example of family. I was so impressed with your children and there work ethic. Thank you for being my brother and sister. I love you both.

Trent

Trent loves his kids more than life. He was just in San Diego, CA for 2 months and was missed terriable. Miya called all day every day and Charlize cried alot for dear old dad. Brandon had his moments. Last but not least Kai always asked where is dad. We love the cell phone. We could always reach him. Trent is definately the center of our home. Without him life would not be worth living. He is Young Mens President and loves the boys. He loved being with his Dad, Mom, and little brothers. He was able to see Larry, Nancey, and baby. He went to the temple with Seth and family. He played in the desert and played paint balls. He came home with some great bruises. It was awesome. He saw our dear friends Jerry, Brandi and many others. He loved his time away. We were happy for him but glad he is back.

Kai

Kai is 3 years old. He is smart. He reminds us of Kobe at that age. He loves to play and wrestle. He loves to run and jump. He will beat up the really big kids. He loves to tell Charlize all his sorrows. If he needs a drink Mom or Brandon will be asked. He lets Brandon dress him everyday with moms okay. He has his own mind. He will go on a bike ride everyday. He looks like Trent at that age. It is really cute to see how much he looks like dad. He loves to kiss mom all the time. He will tell you all the time how much love he has for you. He is a great joy in our life and everyone loves Kai.

Charlize

Charlize Rose is 4 years old. She has a smile that will light up any ones life. She loves to sing and dance. She will get on the table and dance for her girlfriends. High School Musical movies are her favorate. She loves to draw and color. She loves to play with dolls. She talks to herself and pretends she has friends there. She is very loving and acts just like Emery. They both are very Huggy girls. She is Kai second mom. She loves her whole family and is definitely Mommy's girl.

Miya

Miya is 6 years old and is our sweetie. She is a very bright girl. She loves to help and loves to ask questions. Her Daddy is her Hero (No one can even compare). We love that because when she dates...those young men will be compared to her daddy. Charlize is her best Friend and Miya will make her sisters bed daily. Miya loves to run and was in a race. She recieved a metal. She loves to draw and paint. She is very creative. She also has alot of energy. She loves to pick. I would dare to say Miya is our Bremen. ;.) She may look like dad but has moms personality. We are blessed to have our Sweetie!!!

Brandon

Brandon is 9 years old and loves his life. He has taken the summer to enjoy his Best Friends... Carson, Leyton, Adam, Cooper, and Cale. He loves Soccer, Basketball, swimming, camping, and riding bikes. He is so obedient. He will always do what we say. He may complain but do it any way. He loves his little brother Kai (who loves to wrestle and then cry). He is so sweet to his sisters (Miya/Charlize). He always tells them how much love he has for them. He truly is our LOVIE.
