Every year, more then half a million babies are born too soon. Many of those babies will face serious lifelong disabilities like blindness, cerebral palsy and lung disease. We can help by joining this March for Babies. When we join - we are supporting all babies - those born healthy and those born sick!

Join my team: Chicks for Babes
Go to marchforbabies.org/joinus

When it comes to the team part, pick Chicks for Babes.
I put our fundraising goal at $25.00 and hopefully we can do more than that.

I'd love to walk with you in April. Let me know if you have any questions. Once you join you will be sent an information package.

Please invite anyone you think would like to participate to join us!

Please Donate!

KBull 93 is doing a Huntsman Cancer Institute marathon all day today and tomorrow (January 30-31). Please call 877-332-Hope and donate. Even if it's only $5. It's almost inevitable that someone in our lives will be touched by cancer. Help them find a cure!

Much love!

I Need Your Help!

As most of you know, I am the Productions Manager and Photographer for a Marketing Company in Salt Lake.

We are starting a new project of recipe cards filled with favorite recipes from band members, singers, business/restaurant owners, chefs, people in the public eye, policemen, firemen, celebrities, professional dancers, etc,etc,etc.

I was wondering if you or someone you know would like to participate.

Recognition will be given on the card and we could put a website, address or phone number on there if they'd like.

These cards will be sent all over Utah, so your name will be promoted - Free of charge.

I would need your favorite recipe, a picture of you or the recipe and a little bit of information about who you are.

Let me know if you would like to participate.

Thank You!

You can email me at orders@3sixtyonline.com

Happy Birthday Tyler!


Today is my niece's 6th birthday! Tyler is one amazing little girl. She has the best personality. She is very lovey. I can cuddle with her for an entire movie. She loves to color and now her favorite thing is to write everyone's name - "Aunt Stephie, How do you spell your name?" She loves mac-n-cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza with ranch and cottage cheese. She is trying to eat healthy though. :) She loves to dance and she loves to sing. I love having her in my life. She's such a joy!

Goodbye 2008

Here's to 2008 and all the marvelous memories we made. I am sure I will forget a few things, but here are some pictures remembering 2008.



This is my niece, Tyler, turning 5 in January 2008. I adore all my nieces and nephews. They are seriously a light in my life that keeps me motivated and determined to be the best I can be.


This was the first time Brian and I went rock climbing (well the second, but the first time was about 10 years ago). This picture also represents the amazing friendship we gained this year.


Here's to a great job and many friends!


Ahhhh, my parents at Starvation. Two of my favorite things. We've been living with my parents for 2 years now and they have be fantastic. They are always there for us and we've become quite close.


This is a picture of me and my 2nd cousin, Dayton. I was so excited to have them at my house so I could get to know them. I do not get to see them enough.


Hunting!!! For those who know Brian and I, you know this is one of our favorite things. This is Brian and Bridger on the bow hunt. Brian shot his first turkey this year, but we weren't lucky enough to get anything else.



Oh Miss Whitney. She is my newest niece and was born in September. She is one of the best babies in the world. She is sweet and loving and always makes my heart puff up.


And this is me and Bryson. Bryson was born in May this year, but this picture was in October. He can always make me happy. He also reminds me to have courage and to push through hard times, because his name represents a friend of ours who is fighting cancer and WINNING!


Clayton Productions! This is where I teach dance. These girls keep me young and loving life. They work hard and I love teaching them.


Charity, my cuzzo and me on Thanksgiving! She's a great friend and will always be one of my best!


Christmas is the best time of year! Here is Brian's grandma and 3 of her great grandchildren.



Making gingerbread houses with family.

This was definitely a year to remember. Brian and I are quite lucky!

Christmas Memories 2008


Christmas this year was fantastic. I am so sad that it is over.








We hung out with family and friends, played games and exchanged gifts!
On Christmas Eve we ate soup, played a couple games and even dressed up to take a big Christmas Picture.
On Christmas day we opened gifts, saw both sides of the family and wished every day could be that wonderful.
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
