Hope. Endure.Justin and I were blessed to be called to be a Ma and Pa on Trek this summer. The theme was "Believe. Hope. Endure." It was such an awesome, life-changing experience. One of our favorite parts about the whole Trek experience was actually preparing to go. We read so many fascinating stories that really increased our own faith. The Trek theme focused on the Martin and Willie Handcart companies and also the rescue companies that were sent to get the stranded pioneers. The Bailey family came across the plains in the Martin Handcart Company, and I was able to read many stories about them. It was humbling to read about all they went through to get to Zion. I also gained a greater sense of pride about my heritage.<br />
<br />
We left for Martin's Cove on July 26, and we arrived home on July 29. It seemed like a long time to be away from Jackson, Bowen, and Alivia. But they were in good hands with Grandma Bailey! We arrived at Martin's Cove and did a little 6 mile hike around Martin's Cove and even crossed the Sweetwater River. Martin's Cove was beautiful. We had a really spiritual devotional there. Our Stake President gave a blessing over the youth of the Stake that was very powerful. Then, we were able to go and sit for awhile in Martin's Cove. I tried to picture the Martin Company seeking refuge there--starving, freezing, waiting out the storm, and praying for help. We then walked down and had another devotional by the banks of the Sweetwater River. This is where a great rescue effort occured by young men who were part of the rescue party. When the Martin Company reached the Sweetwater River, they shrank back. They couldn't imagine having to cross another frozen river in the physical and mental condition they were in. When these young rescuers saw this, they literally carried the pioneers across, and helped pull their handcarts and their belongings across the frozen river. We were able to participate in a silent crossing of the Sweetwater River. <br />
<br />
Day 2 was a bit trickier! We pulled and pushed our handcarts for 15 miles. It was really fun to be with the youth in our ward, especially those in our family. They are amazing people. We were definitely tired when we got to camp. But, we still set up camp and had family devotionals that were fun. <br />
<br />
Day 3 was hard. We were already tired from the day before and from camping out 2 nights before. We had another 15 mile walk as well. We had quite a few "water crossings," and the Women's Pull was this day as well. Our family definitely got quieter towards the end, which was good. It was a humbling time. We just kept reflecting on how the pioneers walked at least this much every day, but they were freezing and starving. They literally had no food. We had sunshine and lots of snacks. This experience was really faith building, and it was evident it had an affect on everyone.<br />
<br />
We were able to camp right by Rock Creek Hollow and view the little cemetery there. This is where 15 people were buried from the Willie Handcart company. On the final night, we ended with one of the most powerful testimony meetings I have ever been a part of. I am amazed at the strength of the youth today. We left Trek with a stronger resolve to be like our pioneer ancestors--strong, faithful, enduring.<br />

No Training Wheels<div align="center">On July 22, I went out to run some Saturday morning errands. When I pulled into the circle, what did I see? Bowen riding a "big boy bike!" No training wheels!

He, of course, was addicted to riding the rest of the week.</div><div align="center"><br />

Justin made the cut this year to play in the State Am Golf Tournament! We were so proud of him. This year, it was held at Soldier Hollow in Heber on July 5 and 6. On the final day, he (being the cute dad that he is) wanted the boys to come and walk the course with him. He ended up not playing as well as he would have liked, but he definitely had fun doing it. There was no doubt about that. We enjoyed being a part of his big day. Congratulations, Justy Boy!</div><div align="center"><br />

<div align="center">My parents hosted the Bailey Family Reunion this year in Heber, Utah. It is such a fun tradition! We usually go the last weekend in June, and this year was no exception. My mom works so hard each year for this weekend, and it definitely pays off. We love every minute! Here are a few memories of our weekend with family that we love.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><strong>Minute To Win It!</strong></div><div align="center">My mom had a series of games based on the TV game show "Minute to Win it." It was hilarious! The game for Alivia's age group was to take 3 cookies to their teammate without eating them. Well, you can guess that Alivia didn't win. She immediately veered off course and began to eat her cookie.</div><div align="center"><br />

This time, Justin coached his team! Bowen loves to hit the ball, which he calls "smashing" the ball. We had a fun little team this season with Walker, Luke, Avery Smith, and Ellie Mauss playing too! When we gave him the option to play T-ball or soccer this Fall, he chose T-ball. So he and Luke are going to go at it again! </div>Justin and Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15895307377986664114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758414712165707549.post-54983882586028670282011-08-25T14:46:00.002-06:002011-08-29T20:24:17.485-06:00Thirsty Girl<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCc9uwDir3hCuRaQQFy5DTAxrmFEgMTcZqX1iBxLmmO06Tm2gSp-QPFw0KOoe0cEtDC1_6nVCrZ76_UqEVpfj83UEf5KAU3L3LeytqIsnHRcJBKVpfEVeJVST88Ih8d5aa4LaW6BosHA19/s1600/May+and+June+2011+046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCc9uwDir3hCuRaQQFy5DTAxrmFEgMTcZqX1iBxLmmO06Tm2gSp-QPFw0KOoe0cEtDC1_6nVCrZ76_UqEVpfj83UEf5KAU3L3LeytqIsnHRcJBKVpfEVeJVST88Ih8d5aa4LaW6BosHA19/s320/May+and+June+2011+046.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center">This girl loves her beverages! There is at least one point in the day that I catch her on the cupboard trying to get my drink, or trying to climb to the front of the car to sip on my drink there. We don't even like to travel with Alivia because she insists on having everyone's drink for her own! (This picture is in Park City in June when we went for a little lunch at Baja Cantina).</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Today was no different, except this time she got a taste of something she has never had before. We were at Barnes and Noble in the kids section, and she found someone's Starbucks cup. Before I saw what she was doing, she had spilled it on her chin and all down the front of her in an attempt to have a taste! She had the funniest look on her face. I was completely mortified! First of all, she had her mouth on someone else's cup. And second, she didn't smell very good for the rest of our errands. Luckily, she must not have tasted too much because she is now napping peacefully in her bed. No jitters to report!<br />

Top that off with having Justin there to help me along the way, and it was a great 2 days. A little bit of Lortab for the tendonitis in my ankle didn't hurt either! </div><div align="center"><br />

Bowen's preschool had a "Mother's Day Tea." There was a cute little singing program, and then they kids presented us with gifts. Part of the gift was a little questionaire that Bowen filled out about me. This is what he said:</div><div align="center">My mom is "32" years old. ("not my dad's age")</div><div align="center">She is "really tall" inches tall.</div><div align="center">She weighs "forty hundred" pounds.</div><div align="center">Her favorite food is "orange chicken." (Bowen's favorite food) :)</div><div align="center">While I am at school, she "watches me."</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">The other funny thing about the Mother's Day Tea was the kids were supposed to be dressed in Sunday best. When we got there, some kids had suits on!

So, we loaded up the car and headed to St. George to escape Salt Lake's cold version of Spring. St. George was beautiful! We went swimming, had easter egg hunts, rode scooters, and just relaxed in the sunshine. Jackson and Bowen are still asking when we are going back. Okay, I'm asking Justin when we are going back too!</div><div align="center"><br />

I gave him four cookies to decorate while I jumped in the shower. When I got out and went and checked on him, this is what I found. He used the entire bottles of sprinkles on 4 cookies! But they were very neatly placed on each cookie. I couldn't help but smile and praise him for his great work. Needless to say, I told him he could have those cookies all to himself! For a kid with a big sweet tooth, I think he was in heaven.</div>Justin and Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15895307377986664114noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758414712165707549.post-49376272503237170902011-04-09T13:11:00.000-06:002011-04-09T13:11:37.339-06:00Big Girl!<div align="center">I don't know where the time has gone! The past couple of weeks, Alivia has reached some pretty big milestones, and I think it is happening all too fast. 2 weeks ago, she just started taking steps at one of Bowen's soccer games. By the end of the weekend, she was up to about 11 steps. I'm so excited for her! She is very proud of herself and wears a big smile on her face as she toddles with straight legs around the room! I think Jackson and Bowen are equally excited for her. They get so excited and give her big hugs when she takes her big steps. (Side Note: everytime anyone pulls out a camera, Alivia blinks her eyes really tight. All you have to do is say "say cheese" and she will blink. I have to take a couple of pictures every time to try to avoid this crazy look!)</div><div align="center"><br />

At first, we were dragging him out the door to go. Once he would get there, though, he liked it. Finally, the past couple of weeks, he has loved it! He always tell us how many goals he is going to make. Last time, it was 243 goals! The funnest part of the whole experience has been that Walker and Luke are on his team, and Megan is his coach!</div><div align="center"><br />

Grandpa Mauss was on the first ski patrol at Park City Resort, so it was fitting to honor him with a day in the snow there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Jackson and Bowen did great! Justin's report on Jackson's skiing is: he has a perpetual "need for speed," he can stop when he wants to, and he can make turns. Bowen started out the ski day with a tantrum at the boot rental place. He was so upset about how the boots felt on his feet. I expected a call within 20 minutes to come and pick him up. But to my surprise, he loved every minute of his ski day! For Bowen's first ski trip, Justin's report is: he learned how to do the snow plow, and he loved skiing down the mountain fast with Justin holding him. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Hayes and Alivia were busy little friends! Alivia is teething 3 molars, so she struggled a little throughout the day. But we had a great time chatting, eating soup, and being the chauffers for all of the skiiers!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
