Dash for Donations






Our family did the 5k Dash for Donations... Brett is a Kidney Transplant Coordinator for the University Of Utah Hospital. Th U has a team every year and this was the first year that our family was in town, well most of our family ( Sage was in Flaming Gorge). The boys thought it was so much fun to wear matching T-shirts. The Transplant Team also through a great Barbecue. Dutch oven rids, peach cobbler, beans, yummmm. The best part of the day was the inspiring stories of all the peoples lives that have been touched either by being a donor having a transplant, or family members who's lives have been changed by Organ Donation!!!

Grandpa Putman 1930-2010






On the 27th of July Grandpa Putnam passed away. We were lucky enough to spend the day with him before he died. We love him and were so happy to have so many good memories of him. He and grandma were the sweetest couple. Over 73 years of Marriage and lived independently till the end. I am sure that Myrna was waiting to have her dad with her in heaven and are so happy to be reunited. Death reminds us that Families are forever and we will be together again.. Brett said the family prayer and did such a good job. We will all miss him and will remember the example he set for our family of hard work and kindness. He was a gentle giant....

Sweet






believe it or not, Brett and I have never taken our kids to Lagoon. So last Tuesday Brett had the week off so we took our kids and our son Cody. Super fun for all... Max and Sage are FEARLESS, Mason and Mommy not so much... Brett also will go on any ride without fear, thank goodness for our kids... they also had some great cousin time. Cody lives in St. George with his Dad, so it is not that often that they have cousin time... they ran from ride to ride to ride, the day was simply fabulous and I am always amazed at what fun kids we have. Mason was fine with waiting on the bench while they all went on WICKED and some of the crazy rides, I found some courage and went on Rocket... I thought my heart stopped. Great time with our cute kids...
