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 . . .

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.

Mother's Day

On Mother's Day, Aaron's family came over for a barbeque dinner, and we enjoyed spending time with Grandad Jensen. Here all the Jensen grandchildren pose together (Rachel, Logan, & Natalie).

We take sleeping seriously!

Mommy and Rachel enjoy a Saturday afternoon nap together while listening to the last Harry Potter book on CD. This was actually a bit staged, but isn't it cute!

Grandma Mary

Two weeks ago we attended my Grandma Mary's funeral. She was a fantastic lady and was a wonderful example of Christlike love and service. She was always thinking of others and was always willing to share her green punch and ding-dongs. It was so neat to hear how she had touched different people's lives as my brothers, my mom, my niece, and my cousins spoke at her funeral. We'll miss you Grandma!! You're in our hearts always! I realized Rachel will carry a part of Mary with her, even though she'll never know her personally while on this earth. How cool!
