I DID IT!!!!!

Holy Crap is right! I may be scared of a lot of stupid little things but skydiving...seemed way too exciting to let fear get to me. Of course it got to me when it was my turn to go to the door of the plane and had I not been strapped to another dude, I may not have gone! Yes, you may laugh at my face but it shows sheer fear as he ripped my hand off from the plane. OH MY GOSH! I keep watching the video because I can't believe I really did it! I brought in my 30's right and YES-----I would do it again!!!!

Yep...I look like a wuss and in the video I was frantically shaking my head when he started the countdown!

Family 2011

Random...

Made it 2 games in the finals! Good job River Dogs!

As doofy as this picture is, I had the funnest time because it was dark and I was trying to take a picture of him with the flash on and it was blinding him so bad it became a game to keep his eyes open through the flash. Lame--- but fun!

Little Miss Baker...just like Mom!

Brinley's Recital

What's been going on....

Happy 9th Anniversary! April 26, 2002. It was time I made my pale pink fluffy cake to enjoy once again!

These boys live and dream baseball!

And this is pretty much sums up Easter this year. Not only are there not too many good pictures, but Brinley was the happiest cause she got all the eggs with dollar bills! Lucky Stinker.

Play Ball!

Just so you know this was taken on the opening day for summer sales...AND WE ARE HOME!!! Brigham is couting down the days to his first game and of course Brinley wants to play any chance she can get. Simply put.... CADE IS IN HEAVEN!

Happy 31st Birthday Cade!

Could he have been any happier this week with Opening Day for baseball??

Brigham was really excited to put ALL those candles on his cake...not to mention this was Brigham's idea for the cake. It took almost a whole pack of matches to light them all! Happy Birthday Good Lookin!

Dreaming of an island.....

YEP! That's the one! That's where I wish to be right now! Haven't posted for a while and this is all that's on my mind... Maybe I'll crank up the heat and fall asleep to my Sleep-maker App of rolling waves crashing on the beach.........

Disneyland!

This was our 14th and Final time for this disney trip on california screamin!

Brigham discovered the back really is the "fastest and bestest!"

Thunder Mountain was one of her favorites....after the first 2 days of hating every rideand wanting to go home and watch a movie! Lazy bones!!

Had to buy shoes to give us another 1/2 inch and this was his first time on California Screamin!

Brinley hated Tower of Terror EVERY time. I know...we are mean.

Every Character we hugged we had to tell Brigham to stop hugging and turn for a picture!

She bee-lined straight to the prince of course!

Brinley had fun this year finally getting to fight Darth with her brother!

Blinded by the warm California sun!!

Happy Birthday Belle!

Ahhh memories.....

My sad little Belle. And to this day people still say she looks sad...and an old-looking 5 yr old... but she's a good happy dog and we love her!

Happy Holiday's!

Here is our Christmas Card...we slacked this year!

I have shared with some of you that Cade is going to Haiti in January. He'll be leaving with my father, who has been dedicated to completing an orphanage just outside of Port au Prince, where a tragic earthquake struck. Everyone who is going down will do so at their own expense, and all funds donated are going for labor and materials.

The organization has raised over $250,000 but is still short on funds to complete the orphanage.

I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP.

CLICK THIS BUTTON TO DONATE

Another $70k will get the building to a point where the children can move into the new building. Conditions in Haiti are very dangerous at this time, cholera has killed hundreds and kidnappings still take place. This new orphanage is located out in the country, safe from the horrible situation they face in Port au Prince.

While the goal of having the kids in by Christmas was not met, a lot of progress has been made. The $53,000 needed to complete the tile work was generously donated and work should start this coming Monday.

An extremely large donation was made that allowed the purchase of two 40’ containers, which were loaded last Thursday & Friday. By Friday night, they were on a train and en route to Haiti. They should arrive in Port au Prince, Haiti about the first week of January and will be delivered by the 15th. My dad will be taking five or six men, including Cade to with him to Haiti to help work on doors, skylights, painting, etc. and to meet the containers on their scheduled delivery date.

For those who HAVE or are INTERESTED in donating to this cause, please join us for an open house at the home of Ken & Laura Potter and meet Bishop Mardy (who runs the orphanage) in person.

January 2nd from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

This is a rare opportunity to meet the director as he is in the country for a short time visiting his family. Light refreshment served. He will be returning to Haiti Tuesday morning.
