Bart, Paige & Grace: ONLY 20 MORE DAYS...

Until this stud gets home!!!

I can't believe it was almost 2 years ago that we went out to breakfast at IHOP and went to the MTC to drop Andy off. It is insane what has happened in the last 2 years. We are trilled that he has served such an honorable mission and that he has been and will be such an example to us.

I can't wait for him to meet my sweet angel baby girl! She will love her uncle Andy!

Please fly home safely! LOVE YOU BROTHER BEAR!

About Bart

Bart was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Currently Bart works full time at Melaleuca here in Idaho in their Regionals department.

He is very good at anything that gives him a challenge which is why, I think, he likes golf ;) Golfing is NOT as easy as it looks! His Dad liked to take him golfing each chance they got. And I am sure Bart will take our kids when they are old enough, too! He grew up traveling the world with his family and it seems to be a passion that will forever be a part of him.

He served an LDS mission in southern France and I hope he takes me there someday!

Bart has lots of admirable goals. He wants to travel the world with his family, go to graduate school, own a home with a nice yard so that the kids can play and so he can get the dog he's always wanted, he also wants to serve a mission with his wifey when we are older. He loves learning and will be an "eternal student". He loves the news, books, going to the library and learning Spanish on CD with me. He enjoys running and biking and being outdoors. An interesting fact : his greatest weakness is MOUNTAIN DEW!! I am surprised his blood isn't green.

Bart is an amazing Daddy. He is very patient, loving, understanding and hardworking.

About Paige

Well, I was born and raised in a little town called Harrisville! I loved growing up there. I grew up in a family of seven and there was never a dull moment! Starting at a very young age we all loved camping, fishing, riding grandpa's horses, sliding down the stairs on boxes and just playing in the dirt. I must admit I still love all of those things. There is just something about playing in the dirt! :)

I used to work full time at LDS Hospital in the Hyperbaric Department. I was there for almost 5 years and really loved my job. They always allowed me to learn new things and get more experience. I graduated with my associates degree from a very prestigious community college, SLCC :) in Science in 07. Around the time I applied to nursing school, Bart and I started feeling like it was time to add to our family. So when I got pregnant I knew nursing school would have to be put on hold.

I love to snuggle, sleep in, play with our acrobatic daughter, read about vampires, enjoy ice cream on the couch while watching the Office with my crazy cool husband, hanging out with family, and throwing the ball to the family’s overly hyper dog. I love reading and learning, oil painting, running (when I'm NOT pregnant), and planting flowers... aka.. playing in the dirt!

I want to finish nursing school in the future, have more babies, and go on a mission with Barty when we are old and speak spanish fluently. I think it would be so much fun to learn spanish in Spain.. Maybe one day :)
