Happy Birthday Little Calyn!

It is hard to believe you are 2!!! We love this picture with her perfect little reflection!

I was so excited to meet her for the first time in July of 2007! She stole my heart!

Happy Easter!

We were just happy to see the sunshine on Easter for a change!


The Easter Bunny was a little sneaky this year, Jenna had to check under the bridge!

Where's Laurie's Egg?

As most of you know, the annual Easter Egg Hunt is quite an ordeal! You don't get to eat Easter Dinner until you find the egg with your name on it. Well, mine was the difficult one! I was told tennis shoes probably wouldn't work this year.

Carley and Renae helped me spot it on a little patch of land in the pond amidst some weeds! So Renae gladly rolled up her pant legs and went to get Aunt Laurie's egg!

I owe her BIG time!!!!

Check out our athlete!

When I picked her up at track practice and she said, "Mom, I'm doing the hurdles!" with such excitement, I knew she had some big time Mangum genes!

She just glides over those things!

Happy April Fool's Day!

After Taylor's track meet, we got to celebrate his big day! "Dad shake it and then try to guess what it is!"


Hence, we have an automatic pitching machine! He loves it as much as the kids!

Where's Tim?

Tim and Gil skipped out on their Bishopric responsibilities and headed west for some "guy-time" away from it all! Skiing, riding snow mobiles, eating in fancy restaurants, and even wrecking a snow mobile all happened in one short weekend!
