I saw this great video from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It depicts a great story of one of the 9/11 survivors and how he changed his life for the better through his experience.

I remember that on September 11, 2001 I arrived at West High School in Tracy CA where I taught 9th grade Physics. Mya was only a month old and Carrie and I lived in Manteca CA. I remember when I arrived at school everyone was in shock. We were all watching the news. The entire day we dedicated to watching the news and trying to understand what was happening.

Enjoy the video! I did.

Ok …

So I’m a little behind on the blogging. Well now that it’s August and school is getting ready to start I’m catching up.

Here’s the run down for the summer. Enjoy the video and pictures we sure do!

May & June 2009

In May we did lots of exciting things. Carrie got together with a bunch of people in the ward and stake and did the walk for a cure in memory of Eileen Knighton. They had a blast and it was great to remember Eileen in such a wonderful way.

Dan Phelps and Allison Jones were married on June 19, 2009.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed being a part of such a great experience!

Below are some pictures and of course video of the trip.

Be sure to watch the video to see some great moves by the kids!

Hey Everybody!

Mya is looking forward to her Baptism with great anticipation. We are all excited for her special day. What a wonderful, important decision she is making. Mike and I are very proud of her.
In preparation for this day, we had some pictures taken of beautiful Mya. We are at the Salt Lake Temple, although a few are taken at the Bountiful Temple.
Please enjoy all these shots of her. She wanted to share them with her family and friends, even though she is a little shy about doing so.
She will be baptized on September 5th, 2009 at 1:00 in the afternoon at the Woods Cross Stake Center. All are welcome!

Thought I’d help spread the word that Trent (that’s my brother) passed his Utah RN exam and received his RN license yesterday! We’re all proud of him and think it’s simply awesome! He is fielding a few different job opportunities (he’s in high demand ) both locally in Orem/Provo area as well as mid/southern Utah.

Our girls are too cute!

They left a barbie for the mailman and were sure to cover her with a leaf so she was modest. According to Mya it was a team effort. Kennedy put the barbie in the mailbox, Olivia saw Kennedy put the barbie in there so a few minutes later she added the leaf. Mya saw Kennedy and Livy put the barbie and leaf in the mailbox so of course she knows that the flag lets the mailman (or in our case the mailwoman) know there is something in the mailbox to be pickedup so she raised the red flag.

For those that couldn’t make it to Bill’s graduation here he is!

He graduated from Stevens Henagers college with his associates degree in graphic design. He graduates magna cum caude which means he had a GPA of 3.8 or better.

Great job Bill
