Kids, Kids, more Kids!






These are a few of our pics from the summer: vacation to the Basque festival.

The three older kids were dancers this year with Emily as our family

champion. She won the Jota contest for her age...she danced her little feet off!

Vacation, Vacation, Vacation







While visiting Grandma and Grandpa, we scaled the castle walls, dug through cemetaries, and found numerous family history cites.

Our beginnings




Early this summer our family went to Europe to visit Elder and Sister Backus who were serving in the England Manchester Mission. This is a picture of our family in the docks where our pioneer ancestors loaded the boats to sail to the promised land. Since the docks in Liverpool are significant to our family history, this is where we'll begin our family blog!!
