Balanced Rock with Grandma & Grandpa

Jacob and Rachel got to spend some fun time picking rock with Grandpa Baggett and then they had fun going with Grandma & Grandpa on a picnic to Balanced Rock. They always have so much fun and get way spoiled when they go to Buhl! I'm a little jealous.

Dallin's Educational Trip

Dallin, Kadi, Debi and Boyd left right after Winter Semester for a cruise from Tampa Florida. Upon our arrival in Tampa, we went through a huge Aquarium seeing all kinds and colors of beautiful fish and frogs and octopus and even sting rays. We were able to touch the sting rays -- wierd! On the Ship that was larger than most buildings in Rexburg, we ate and relaxed and enjoyed beautiful music.

On one of the evenings we had a formal dinner and Dallin and Kadi looked amazing. They clean up real nice. I think they were amazed by the wonderful menu of cuisine from all over the world. It was sweet and we loved getting to know the wonderful people at our table. Dallin's favorite part was the all you can eat ice cream and hamburgers and pizza all afternoon.

At Costa Maya we all went out Scuba Diving off a beautiful reef where again we experienced the sea life up close - even closer than the aquarium. It was an amazing experience to see the reef and the colorful life there! And the best part was the wonderfully warm, blue water! I think we could have stayed there all week!

The hardest part of the week was when we heard of Grandma Baggett's death on the morning we left. We wanted so much to be home and be with family but instead we returned on the day of her funeral. We love you Grandma!

Tulum was fun also - we got to see several of the Mayan ruins and had our testimonies of the Book of Mormon reinforced as the tour guides told of the great white God who descended out of heaven and appeared to a people who were waiting for him according to prophecy. Jesus Christ is the center of our lives and we know he lives! What a spring so far!

Winter Months

Jacob played Indoor Soccer through the winter - he was so fun to watch at the YMCA in Idaho Falls. He's having fun and keeping us busy. He loves to practice anytime he is not crewing for the Standard Journal.

Dallin got a snowmobile at Action Motors and within only a couple months had sold it. But, while he had it he took it out often to play and have fun.

Kadi was living at home during Winter Semester. She brought her friends home once in awhile and we had fun getting to know them. Alexis stayed with us on weekends so they could be ready for their campus ward early on Sunday mornings. Now that they moved back to La Jolla apartments its a little quiet around here. We miss their smiles and laughs!

BriAnn announced that she and Michael are expecting their first baby in August. We're thrilled for them!

Tanner and Rachel have been busy chasing everyone else's schedules. Rachel is still playing her piano lots and loves teaching Tanner like he is in school. Tanner switched to afternoon kindergarten this semester.

Wow! What a winter!
