Lauren is sweet 17!

Wow!  When your oldest turns 17, it doesn't seem real!  I can't believe she's so old!

 Lindsay made sure Lauren felt special!

Lauren chose german chocolate cupcakes, yum!  You get better each year, Lauren!  We love you!

Kindergarten Graduation

Lindsay loved Mrs. Ontiveros!

 I love how it looks like she's bored to death!

It doesn't seem right that she can already be this big!  Love you Lindsay!

Provo City Center Temple Dedication

What an exciting day... We got to attend the dedication for our new temple--The Provo City Center Temple.  To be completed in 2015.  We loved the old Provo Tabernacle and were ecstatic when we got the news that after the horrible fire, instead of tearing it down, they would make a temple! 

Beautiful day!  And an important lesson that out of tragedy can come great blessings!

The start of JBJ Confections

My friend, Kelly Decker, encouraged me to start a caramel business right before Mother's Day this year.  Jeff and I worked on the concept and within three weeks time, we were up and running!  We had a lot of fun building it!  Kelly let me launch from her restaurant, The Trolley, in Springville.  

 Jeff designed our webpage.

 So excited to finally get our boxes from the printer and begin assembling!  Wooo-hoo!

 All ready for the mornings launch!

 Loading up the shelf...

Voila!  So exciting!  

More Spring Break Fun!

We decided to have a BYU day so we started at the BYU Bookstore...

Then headed to the Bean Museum!

 That's a good monkey face, Cal.

 Lindsay, doing her own impression.

 Rrrroar!

 Yikes!

 Alli looks thrilled.

 We're not fooled, Cal.

 Then to the football stadium for a special tour from Uncle Rich.

 Calvin is in heaven!!!

 Touchdown!

 From the press box.

Great motto!

Spring Break

We headed to the new City Creek Mall and Temple Square for Spring Break this year.

Calvin's hoping to catch a Jazz game later that  night with Dad.

 Heading up from the parking garage.

 Lauren looks... excited?

 Cool fountains.

 Awesome shades, girls.

 Later, the girls caught a movie in the car while Cal and Dad caught a jazz game!  Party!

Our view from the car...

Oh yeah!!  Dad and Cal made it to the Jazz game.

At the game

Cute kids!  Fun day!

Lindsay lost her first tooth!

Here's her note to the tooth fairy:

It says: "Deer tooth free, Please tace my tooth. From Lindsay"

So sweet!
