Here are some questions I had her answer (for the record)....
Did you like wearing Pioneer clothing? When it was cold YES. When it was hot NOO.
What was your Trek family like? Well, my ma was always making life comfortable for others no matter where it put her. My pa was the encourager. My brothers (Cody, Easton, and Kelton) were the strong ones. My sister Heidi was strong and popular, Grace sort of did her own thing and Kendall was always talking with the boys.
What did you do to pass the time as you walked, and walked, and walked, AND walked? Mostly I thought and thunk and thought some more. Sometimes about pioneers, sometimes about music actually a lot about music. Also Grace, Heidi, and I sung a lot of songs (mostly disney) and Ma. We also talked a lot. President Riggs passed and we asked him what his favorite song was and found out that his favorite disney character is King Loui.
Tell us about the food you ate and how you cooked it? The food was magically filling and that was good enough for me. But the only food we 'cooked' was a PBJ.
What was your favorite thing about the Trek? Game day. You see we didn't just walk and walk and walk. The third day we had a game day and it was the bomb. That day we had chocolate cake bonus.
What did you learn about the Pioneer's? They were stronger physically then I thought.
What was your most memorable Spiritual Highlight? When we read the letters sent from home.
Was it worth missing the last 2 days of school? Heck yes! I'd do it again in a heart beat!
Here is what she looked like when I picked her up 3 days later at the Church- STILL SMILING!!And then, 10 days after the Trek, she left for Girls Camp. She missed a lot of the getting ready stuff for Camp, but luckily I was the Camp Director for our Ward. It was so fun to be with her at Camp. Taylor gets along with everyone, and makes friends with everyone. She is always smiling, and never complains. 
Arriving at camp, the buses broke down and they were on the HOT bus with no A/C for about 2 hours, then the buses had to drop them off a 1/2 mile from Camp. You'd never know by the look on Tay Tay's face!

There was no stopping Taylor at the water hole. The "Arizona" in her really comes out when she is around water, she went down rock slides, jumped off rocks, and the water was FREEZING!
Hope you had fun on all your Church Adventures, but we are glad they are all over and we get to finally hang out with you!!
And here are some of Kaitlyn, Emma, and Clay's....
On June 7 and June 10th- they turned 9 and 10! They were born a year and 3 days apart, but at the time and looking back to that time of life, it all feels like a big blur. Macy came on our 1st Wedding Anniversary. She was a week over due, so when they scheduled us to come in to be induced on June 6, I thought- crazy, I will have a baby before our first Anniversary. But, they kept telling us all day that there were no rooms available and to only eat a light breakfast, then a light lunch, then finally at 6pm they let us come down and get started. My labor was about 6 hours- just after midnight and on the very day we were married just one year earlier. She came out with the biggest light blue eyes you have ever seen. I wasn't expecting blue eyes, but it was a fun surprise. She was always happy and easy going. I began training her to walk at 10 months old because we knew here sister would be here shortly and I wanted her to be walking before Kaitlyn arrived. Kaitlyn was due the end of June. We had just celebrated Macy's 1st birthday, and a few days earlier I was wakened about 2am not feeling so good. After about a half hour of thinking I had to be on the toilet, we finally started timing the episodes and realized they were happening every 5 minutes and that I was probably in labor. (Remember with Macy I never felt that, had to be induced- so this was a new experience for me). We called the doctor because I wasn't due for 10 days and I went a week overdue with Macy and he said to go ahead and go down. Thanks goodness that was his advice. If he would have told me to sit it out and wait I probably would have, but by the time we got to the hospital, it was pretty bad and I was having to stop in the hallways as we were trying to get up to the labor and delivery floor. I think I was a 6 when we arrived, they barely had time to give me some "happy juice" as I like to call it, and she was born just over an hour of being there. It was a very emotional time for me, I felt so much love for Kaitlyn, and felt so bad that I had just abandoned Macy. She was still so little. But she loved her sister and her sister loved her. Today, despite the occasional fighting (sometimes it is more often than not!) they are friends and I love knowing they will always have each other. I come from a family with the best mom in the world, she's just got it, Spiritual, but crazy and fun, she lifts me up, is the most patient with me and my quirks, and has always been there for me, then there are my 4 sisters. Each so different, yet we all have so much in common. I love these relationships, and now that I have 3 daughters of my own, I want to be the mother my mother is to me, and I want each of my daughters to cherish each other as much as I cherish my own sisters. Sorry- didn't mean to get sappy, but remember, this my Family's journal- deal with it!
