Stand up for yourself . . .

Rachel now enjoys pulling herself up and climbing the stairs. Thus, we had to finally put up gates on the stairs. Rachel's also discovered that doorstops and dishwashers are fascinating. The doorstop makes a cool "twangy" noise when you hit it, and when the dishwasher is going, it makes all sorts of cool sounds. Oh, to be young again. =)

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there. You deserve it! Thanks for all you do for your families. We respect you, love you, and hope you know how much you are loved and appreciated!

Bath Time is Lots of Fun!

Rachel LOVES taking baths. It's our way to help her stay happy until bedtime. The only problem is that she hates getting out of the bath, so she's extra grumpy afterward. You just can't win . . .

Looking cute . . .oh, wait, that's not a new one . . .

Jeff's Wedding

Jeff and Brittany Gale

My little brother Jeff got married in May, and he and Brittany had their Utah reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in SLC. We had a great time!

Family Reunion in Heber City, Utah

Here are some fun shots from the Gale Family reunion. There were 26 people in all, 14 adults, 10 kids, and 2 babies, with 1 on the way . . .

We all had fun doing the limbo to Barry Manilow's Copacabana.

We also had a Gale Family Olympics. Each family made a flag and competed in various events. I came in third in the jump rope competition. My elementary school playground time paid off! This is our flag--Aaron's the bear, Wendi's the lion, and Rachel's the ducky.
