Baylee's Birthday Party!!

Baylee had her 9th birthday party at Fat Cats Bowling Alley on September 13th! A big thanks to Cat for sharing these pictures with us that she put her artistic touch on!

Also another big thanks to Jenn for sending us these pictures and words;

"It was so fun to see mom bowl. I don't think that she's ever bowled before but I must say that I was pretty jealous of her mad skills! - Seriously, the first time she went she got a spare and the two times after that she got strikes. After bowling just a handful of us went to Murray park to have cake and play. Everyone who was able to make it had a blast and to those who couldn't come we missed you all."

Boston's Road To Recovery

On Saturday September 13th, Boston ran into the corner of our wall, and created a nice gash in his forehead. Jeremy and I took him to the hospital where he was given 6 stitches. (Hence why we missed Baylee's birthday party =(

For the next five days we had to keep the stitches moist with a band-aid over top!

After 5 days we took him back to the hospital to get his stitches out. The instant we walked into the ER he started screaming! He had to trouble remembering what had happened there before. After they took the stitches out they put these terry strips over the wound to continue to help it heal.

Boston is healing really well, and is as happy as ever! Thanks to all of you for your concern! That really meant a lot.

David's High Adventure!

In August I was fortnuate enough to go on the High Adventure camp with the Boy Scouts. We actually ended up having 3 adults and only two youth. We went backpacking to the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming. It was a 6 mile hike in with our packs which was about a 400 foot gain in elevation. We also took a day and hiked up to the Cirque of the Towers. This crosses the Continental Divide and was another 5 miles but with at least a 4000 foot gain in elevation! Phew! I felt like a mountain goat. This one really tore me up. I could barely walk the rest of the trip. They almost had to carry me out. Oh well! It was fun and an experience I'm glad I didn't miss!When you see me around and I'm still walking funny....you know why!

A couple of updates from Darla

Grandpa Dillard says he's now a "farmer" for the first time in his life, and is loving it. He has 2 tomato plants and a cucumber plant in pots on his patio and is amazed when he finds something to pick!

Megan is taking a "spinning" class at school and, like John and her dance teacher told her, it's "cured" her knee pain. For those few of you who are ignorant, like Darla, spinning is exercising on a stationary bike. She's also taking a tap dance class this semester. That should be fun!

Mike's and Baylee's Big Trip

Mike sent us these awesome photo's. I don't know many details about them, but ENJOY! (Mike if you want to get me more details I would love to post them!)

Mike and Baylee went to Missouri to Visit Grandma and Grandpa Dillard and also Aunt Sharon!

They had a great time visiting with them, and also seeing some beautiful sights!

Mike and Baylee also went to Texas to visit Mark and his family!!

They even went to a circus together!














And spent some time at the Race Track!

Jeremy's Artistic Talent

Jeremy has been searching for the perfect pictures for 3 frames in his office. Finally one Saturday he decided to create his own. He went to a local golf course and took some 3 photo's for his frames! The cool thing is the 3 pictures create 1 picture. I thought it was cool, what do you think?

(They look WAY better in person!)

Lots of Fun in the Sun!

Thank you to Jenn, Darla, Megan, Brian, Brett, and Caydon for coming to the Rogers Family Swimming Party!! I think everyone who came had a fantastic time splashin' around in the pool and eating at Fazoli's!

Cindy and Taylor's Fun Summer!

Cindy and Taylor have had a blast this summer spending every weekend doing something fun from Raging Waters to the Alpine Slide up in Park City.

This awesome 80's swimsuit picture was taken as Cindy went on her 24 mile bike ride around Antelope Island under the Moonlight!

Cindy and Taylor also went to Utah Lake where Cindy attempted to Wake Board.

Taylor sure seems to enjoy the water!

They also went to Tibble lake camping this past weekend where they fished and went motorcycling.Earlier in the summer Micheal, Cindy, Taylor, and Baylee went camping at Rockport.
-
After all of these adventures, Cindy said " This summer has been a total blast. I am starting to get to know Utah. I have never been camping until this year. So I guess I am starting to get out and see life. "

Jeremy, Camille, and Boston's Weekend in Idaho!

Jeremy, Boston, and I headed up to Boise Idaho this past weekend for the Garner Football League Draft. (Fantasy Football Event) I won't even try to explain it, but I thought I would just share a couple of Photos! Jeremy enjoyed being on my cousin Steph's team, while I read lots of Books to all the cousins! Boston was such a good boy, especially for being trapped in the car for over 10 hours in less then 48 hours! It was a fun little trip!

An Update from Alecia!

I look forward to getting together and hope that it isn't too long.
-
I am sorry I don't send pics more often. A lot of what we do is on the video camera cause Mark has the camera with him at work. I will take some and upload them and send them out.
-
It is so neat how you guys always get together and share life together. The Rogers are a beautiful family.
-
I will see if Mark can get you more details. Here is for now.
Mark just got a new office with a new "power desk"...(I'll let him give you all of them fun details:)). I can tell he feels great and looks great. He has been eating so healthy and working out. He loves it.
-
Braedon is loving the summer and so are we. He loves building new creations with Legos. In fact, last night he brought the Lego box down and we just built legos for the next hour. I couldn't believe how relaxing and fun it is. No wonder he loves it:)! He loves to read, especially joke books...boy humor...he's always got us laughing or saying, "oh gross!".
-
Darian is wild but taming down and the boys are having a blast together. That is so much fun to see. Darian is excited to start sports and always tries read. He has fun counting but especially rhyming. He thinks it's so funny to come up with silly rhyming words. Oh, he loves to ride his bike but mainly play with brother and sissy.
-
Alea is growing up so quick. She is so sweet, has an opinion on the clothes she wears each day and loves to wear and buy new shoes. ....I have no idea what is ahead of me:))))).No seriously, I can't wait to watch her grow. She is just so sweet and loves to be a little mommy.
-
I hope you all are doing really well!!! We miss you and love you! We also CAN'T wait to see Mike and Bailey in a couple of weeks! We would love any and all of you to visit if and when you can!
-
Love,
All of us

Editors Note: Thanks for submitting an update Alecia! We love knowing what you guys are up too!

Jenn and Matt's Visit to California!

We went to LA for the weekend of the 24th and it was a blast, we did not want to come home. The first night we went to a Dodges games which was so much fun. We sat it the all you can eat section of the game in right field. Between the two of us I think that we put down 6 or 7 Dodger Dogs, it was great! We went to the LA temple which was so beautifull inside and out. I love that no matter where you go the church is always the same if thats not proof of a true relgion I dont know what is. Matt was so wonderfull and patient with me while we went to the outlets, he is an Amazing husband! We finally made it to the beach which was a blast and Matt was like a little kid in a candy store. He could not stay out of the water until his clumsy wife was wipped out by a wave on the body board and lost her favorite glasses, that was the end of playin in the sea. I guess its a good thing that Matt and I both got new glasses while shopping!
-
All in all we had so much fun and hope to go back soon.

Editor's Note: THANK YOU so much Jenn and Matt for sending us something to post for the family to enjoy!! You guys are the BEST!
