Richard and Kate Call







Here is my brother Dayton's family at Disneyland just before his son was married. Richard and Kate were married last month. They both graduated from BYU and after an internship at a New York advertising company, he was offered a job. He's been there several years. She's from Seattle..... Welcome!

Weber Morgan Health Department

It's now been 7 years since Gary was hired to come to Weber County to: reorganize the health department...bring 5 clinics under one roof...and build a new building. He's done an awesome job. Here are some pictures of the new building...and I must say, it is one of the classiest buildings in downtown Ogden. Also, he started up a quarterly health magazine.

Betsy Barlow Ricks





This is my sister Betsy....we're the same age.....ok.. she's really my cousin but if I HAD a sister she would be the best sister ever. Besty lives in Scarsdale, New York with her husband Tim. They have raised 6 utterly fantastic kids. She is loyal, fun, funny, pretty, a true leader, a trained vocalist, faithful to a fault, smart...but hopelessly naive and gullible... and she always makes me feel loved. We truly grew up together... with me spending summers at her house in Redwood City... and her spending weeks with me in Red Bluff and Whiskeytown Lake. We caused mischief together and even got spankings together. We always got poison oak together. We were at cheerleading camp together... we created secret words and phrases..we laughed and shared secrets and talked about boys in that teeny bouncy 100year-old bed at Grandma's... I was there when she got her first kiss (actually, I arranged it)... I told her about the facts-of-life when she was 9 (she didn't believe me)... we went to BYU together, we were in the same dorm together, and we went to Europe our junior year of college together. We got engaged, married, and had our first daughters within months of each other...I love my Betsy!

Immaculee Ilibagiza




I don't know when I have been so touched by a book. I recommend this to everyone.. I could NOT PUT IT DOWN... This is our book club selection for this month. I can't believe I didn't know about this horrible situation.. just 15 years ago... WHERE WAS AMERICA? In just 3 mos., 1 million Tutsi were murdered...slaughtered... ImmaculĂ©e shares her miraculous story of how she survived during the Rwanda genocide in 1994 when she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor’s house for 91 days! In this captivating and inspiring book, ImmaculĂ©e shows us how to embrace the power of prayer, forge a profound and lasting relationship with God, and discover the importance of forgiveness and the meaning of truly unconditional love and understanding—through our darkest hours. Read it and report back!
