IT'S OFFICIAL....HE IS 55!


Happy Birthday wishes are coming one day late! Our lives are have changed so much in the last few days, I have not been able to get this posted until now! I had to prepare and present a "Get to know the new Bishop" to the primary kids the other day, it was fun and I have been thinking about his life alot lately! He definately is accident prone, 2 broken arms, 1 broken nose, he lost all of his front teeth in a motorcycle wreck when he was 17, He lost all 4 fingers on his left hand in an accident when he was 30 years old. The doctor saved 3 of them! But I decided he has Nine lives! Doug is such a HARDWORKER, one of his many great qualities..What ever he is doing he goes above and beyond! He is so SMART, it amazes me how much he knows! I decided he has earned every gray hair and every wrinkle! Fifty-five years of memories! This is a picture I just love, it is a little Tattered, but so dang cute! He looks about 4 years old!

This is how he looked when I meet him! Isn't he so Handsome!

Another favorite picture! Doug is such a great PAPA! Above he is holdingDallon our first grandchild! All of his 5 grandkids love him!



The Primary kids made him this cute card for his Birthday! Click on it to read some of the message ! Happy Late Birthday Doug, I Love You!

BRIE IS 19 !!

My Baby is turning 19! It doesn't seem that long ago that she was this little! And then Twelve years old with Aubrey, after a day at Bear Lake. Now Aubrey is taller than Brie and 5 years younger!

A High School Cheerleader, with one of her biggest fans Ally!


Senior Picture! Ready to take on the world!


A favorite activity, soaking up Sun, while riding the Lazy River!


When BrieAnna was born,19 years ago, she had lots of mothers! Holly Nicole, and Amber, her big sisters! Colby her closest sibling was also a Pro at taking care of her! I loved all the help. Brie absolutely loves her sisters! Her brother Colby is also on her list of favorites! I remember Grandpa Bingham saying, " when she gets older she is going to hate her name! But so far just the opposite, she did drop the ANNA and is just BRIE!
I have told her since she was just little, that she was sent down from Heaven to be my little friend, and to keep me young, or to put me in my Grave early! We are still in the process of this one!
I remember Colby used to always tell her that she was adopted! She believed him for a long time!
Five Neices and Nephews bring lots of smiles to her face!
Brie has an infectuous giggle and loves to laugh! Her beautiful smile brightens the day! Brie is a Fashion girl, she loves to shop, I am sure she could break a record for owning the most shoes or purses! Some more favorites, she loves the Ocean, she loves Bear Lake, she loves to eat out, she loves to travel , and is always up for an adventurer! She is our beauty consultant, and we all love it when she has time for a hair or make-up makeover . Brie is very giving and loves to give her hand me downs to many! She is shy and doesnt say much until she gets to know you! But My favorite thing about Brie, is her huge heart, she is very compassionate and reaches out to anyone who is sad. I am so glad I have her as a friend ! Happy Birthday Brie!! I Love you!!
