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
#8 We visited the Dinosaur Tracks at the Johnson Farm, which Marcus still talks about almost daily.

Thanks for the Visit Ruth & Ted!

Getting Stronger!

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...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCUS!

We had a Birthday Party at the Thanksgiving Point Farm.
(It was great at that time, Lovey was still in the hospital, they did everything for us we just had to show up)

Earlier that day Marcus got to come down to the hospital with dad and we took him for a birthday lunch at Brick Oven. He got his favorite - pineapple pizza!

Marcus' Preschool Class Fall 2009

Marcus loves his preschool class and his teacher, Miss Dawn. We have been so happy with his progress. He is constantly sounding out the first letter of every word to figure out what letter it starts with. He has learned son very cute songs and done some great art projects. As usual he has made fast friends with the kids in his class and always wants them to come over to play. He has turned into such a grown-up boy. He will miss Miss Dawn and the kids in his class (especially you Elly!).

Halloween Costumes

BLUE POWER RANGER

CAPTAIN AMERICA

We had a great Halloween! Chris and Tenielle Bender came over and we had chicken noodle soup from costco with cheesy bread sticks then, sent the boys out to trick-or-treat. They came back with bags full of candy. (Which I have been hiding ever since...)
