Mother's Day

Lovey was in heaven eating a cleaned off chicken leg!

Good thing Grandpa has big arms to snuggle in!

Erin & Russell

Grandma Lake, Dad & Lovey*

I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom in Palm Springs this year. The whole Lake Family went to O'Donnell Golf Club for Lunch (thanks dad). I hadn't been with my mom for Mother's Day in a few years. Of course, I also got to be a celebrated mom with my kids. They gave me the greatest cards and Jon wrote me a traditional poem. Thank you family for a wonderful Mother's Day.

* Don't you worry - she is drinking breastmilk!

Seth's black eye

Poor Sethy! He seems to be a bit accident prone! He was running in the entry way and fell and bumped the corner of his eye, a big goose egg formed and the next day he woke up with no goose egg and a big black eye. Between the blue eye, the hot flushed cheeks and the dry red lips he looked like he was wearing make-up!

Sunday Family Picture

Last Sunday we were all sitting together in the family room Marcus says "I know a good Sunday activity. Take a Family Picture, that's good to do on Sunday." So we all gathered in front of the couch and pushed the timer on the camera. The picture didn't turn out too bad!

Saftey Town Graduation

Marcus, Grant & Easton participated in Safety Town together. Everyday for two weeks they would have lesson about fire safety, stranger danger, when to call 911 , how to cross a street and many other lessons on how to be safe in the neighborhood!

Lovey's First Bike Ride

Jon and Lovey did some bike riding together. This is Lovey's first time on the ibert. She didn't hate it but I wouldn't say she was ecstatic over the whole thing!

Then she fell asleep in daddy's arms watching the Laker-Celtic basketball game.

Sand Hallow Lake

Rob (jon's co-worker) and his wife Holly invited us out to Sand Hallow Lake to play on their boat. We had a great time! The weather wasn't exactly cooperating with us - a huge storm rolled in a few hours after we got there. But the lake was so nice, the boys had a wonderful time playing in the water. They went out on the innertube pulled SLOWLY by the boat. Jon & Rob went out early and did some water skiing and wake boarding. And yes, yours truly also went water skiing! Rob asked me if I wanted to ski, I said I was okay then Jon says "You know how to ski?" And that was that. I was out on the boat, jumping into freezing water and yes, I got up my very first try! It was awesome! I want to buy a boat and go every weekend!
(Sorry I only took 2 pictures!)

Happy 32nd Birthday to Jon!

Marcus & Cayson

I was so glad to meet Cayson's mom Emily at a Relief Society activity. She gave me the information to get Marcus into her son's preschool and the two have been great friends since. This is a picture of their Easter Eggs the decorated at preschool.

Happy 3rd Birthday Seth!

We took our cousins Jake and Cade to Pirate Island for Pizza & Arcade Games!

Happy Birthday Sethy! We are so grateful that Heavenly Father sent you to our family!

Grandma & Granpa Bacon's Trip to St. George

We had a fun and eventful visit with Ruth & Ted the beginning of March.

#1: We Celebrated Ted's 70th Birthday! We Had a pizza lunch, played pin the tail on the donkey and sang Happy Birthday with candles in a Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Cake (A Bacon tradition)!

That evening Jon and I Took Ruth & Ted to a very nice dinner at Catherine's in the Casablanca hotel in Mesquite, NV. It was a very lovely evening!

#2: Jon & the boys took Ruth and Ted to Zions National Park for the day.

#3: No Picture but John & Ellie Miller, Jon's Uncle and Aunt, came down for the weekend. We had a wonderful time with them.
#4: We got to see a different view of Mesquite, NV. That is were Ruth & Ted Stayed. Usually we just see it driving by on the I-15 (of course that's what I said about St. George too!)
#5: We went swimming at the Holiday Inn
#6: We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful St. George weather
#7 We found were to buy gluten free food in St. George

Getting Stronger!

January 20, 2010
Lovey is rolling over and holding up her head.

Cute little clothes...

Aunt Natalie made Lovey this little skirt and matching shoes.
Thanks Aunt Natalie!
Lovey is 5 months old at the time.

And of course Seth needed in on the picture...

Oh Canada!

We are cheering for Canada during these Olympics for the following reasons:
1. Our Dad is Canadian and it makes him happy
(no one likes to be around Jon when he's grumpy)
2. Aunt Wendy sent us Canadian Olympic shirts
(Thanks for the Christmas presents Aunt Wendy)
3. It would be really cool if the Canadian Hockey team won gold on their home soil.
(No other hockey team has won gold on home soil,

except the US of course has done it a couple of times)

4. We could not help but cheer for Canada in the Curling Gold Medal Match - it was very intense (seriously!!) Unfortunatly Canada lost:(

Go Team Canada!

A Perfect Day...

It started out with Russell & Erin's Temple Sealing at the Newport Beach Temple:

It was a beautiful ceremony. Erin looked stunning in her mother's wedding dress. I love my brother and his wife so much, I am so glad I could be a part of their special day.

Then all to Aunt Laura's House for Lucy Eliana's Baby Blessing:



Lovey is wearing a blessing dress that my mom and I made out of my Grandma Payne's Temple Skirt.

We are a Happy Family! (Sing it to the tune)


Dad, Marcus, Great-Grandpa Lake, Grandpa Lake, Uncle Russell

Marcus loves his little sister.


So, you can see it was a perfect day...
