Last Family Pic

Before we went to the MTC we stopped at J Dawgs. It was so delicious, but so messy. Logan spilled all over his suit. It was actually quite hilarious! Good thing there is a dry cleaners at the MTC.

Shea was even a good sport and ate one just for Log

Well the day finally came. Log is off to the MTC. It was such a bitter sweet day. Full of lot's of emotions. Log we sure do love you and know that you are going to do great! Remember it was never meant to be easy but it will be worth it. You are the Lord's Army!

Elder Whittaker

Elder Whittaker left today to the MTC. He will be serving in Costa Rica and will enter the field on August 17. He left with a smile on his face and didn't look back. What a great missionary he is going to make. I have never seen someone so excited to serve and most importantly someone so prepared. Logan is truly my best friend and I will miss him dearly, but I am so proud of him. He will make our family proud. He will do his best and I know that Heavenly Father will take care of the rest.

What I am going to miss the most about Elder Whitt

• Our dance parties late at night in the mirror
• Logan coming home late at night and peaking in my room to tell me good night
• Our late night chats talking about life and giving each other advice
• Our many goofy voices
• Listening to him and my brothers argue about sports
• Him giving me a hard time or a good wrestle
• Watching him serve all those around him
• Hearing him eat a bowl of cereal when he gets home late at night
• Watching him pick at his face
• Watching him wrestle with the boys especially when the little ones are arguing and making them hug each other and tell them that they love each other
• Watching him perfect anything and everything he does
• Blowing the air horn at people as we drive by and laugh until we cry
• His constant smile
• Finding his empty contact cases on the counter instead of the garbage that is 2 feet away
• Him not lifting the lid
• Him telling me that he loves me and that I deserve the best

I love you Elder Whittaker!!!

Setting Apart

Logan and Pop

I am so grateful for my grandpa. After Log got set apart he turned to D&C 31 and read it to us. He always knows what we need to hear, and how to bring the spirit into our home. I am so grateful for him and the huge influence he has played in our lives.
This is my favorite picture. Right before Log got set apart I walked into Eastons room to help him get dressed and J was putting on his Tie. I tried to convince E to wear a different tie that would match better but he was like look Jord there is Brown and green in my shirt and my tie. It was so cute! He then walked out with his Future Missionary tag. It was so dang cute! I have the greatest brothers who I just love.

Elder Whittaker was set apart as a missionary on June 15, 2010. This was such a bitter sweet day. I can't believe that my little Logan is old enough to serve a mission. President Judd set him apart and gave him a beautiful blessing. The spirit was so strong. It was a testiment to me that this is what Logan is suppose to be doing. To bring the gospel to those who don't have it so they can have the great Joy that we have. What an awesome missionary Logan is going to make!

Logan's Farewell

Our Goofy Family
I have to say that I have such an amazing family. There is a special love that we have for each other that I don't think a lot of families have. We may not be perfect but together we have it all!

The Whitts and the Boghs

Me, Log, Shea, and Kyle

Mandy is Logan's girlfriend and we think that she is pretty great. She would make such an awesome sister in law. Me and Shea are going to do our best to keep her around!

Gege, Log, and Pop

I have to say I have the best grandparents anyone could ever ask for. They support us in everything that we do. They still play woofle ball, four square, you name it they will be there and ready to win. I sure do love them and am so grateful for the part that they have played in my life.

My mom and her best friend Kim. Kim is seriously the best friend that everyone dreams on having. She is always the first one to ask what she can do to help. She does so much for our family. We love you Kim!

Me and Log.

Log and Mand

I just want to tell Shea how much I love her. She is such a great sister. I am so grateful for the relationship that we have. I know that I can count on her to always be there for me. I love you Shea!

The little kids eating some breakfast! Gotta love Easton!

Logan did such an amazing job on his talk. The spirit was so strong. Logan is so prepared and ready to serve a mission. He taught with such power. So many people came up to my mom afterwards and said that it was like they were at a Homecoming. He will change so many lives. He has such a strong testimony of this gospel. I am grateful for him and his example to all those that surround him.

We had so many family and friends come and support Logan. I am so grateful that we have amazing family and friends who support our family in all that we do. We love you all so much!

Swimming Party

We had our last family get together before Logan left and Todd and Annie were so nice to let us have a pool party at there house. It was such a blast. We had our whole entire family there from both sides. It was so much fun! Thanks Todd and Annie for letting us have a party! You guys always throw the best parties! Shea, me, Dev, and Mandy

I have to say I just love these girls! I don't know what I would do without you guys!
Todd, and MarquellePop, Todd, and John

Eh Duh!!

This is by far my favorite picture of the night! Yes, those would be my brothers. I taught them everything that they know!

So us kids were getting lonely and we decided that the adults needed to come and play with us. Everyone was such great sports. Cari was the last one to go in. Her girls thought we were so mean, but can any of us see Cari getting mad?

I don't think any of us realized how strong Todd really was. We barely got him in.

John was the first one to go in. He pretty much let us throw him in, but he made sure his shoes, belt, and phone were off.

Troy and Cathy were thrown in as well!

Me and cute Tamzy

Logan's last time in the water for two years!

It just isn't a party until you make a train down the slide!

I love this picture. She is such a doll!

Logan doing a flip on the board. He is so fun to watch. He flies across the wake literally! I keep telling myself that one day I will be as good as him!

Mom still has it

E John and Log waking boarding together. It doesn't get better then that!

The first day we went to Conney's Crack. You hike through the rock and it goes all the way to the other side. It is very cool!

So I haven't skied in two years and I was so determined to get up my first try. My mom always says stay in your ball, push with your back foot, lean back, and keep your head down. So I listened to everything that she said and got up my first try. You can tell by this picture that I was going to do everything I could to get up even if it was to blow my cheeks.

Every night when it would get dark we would go from hunting on the beach. The boy would put them in a net and then bring them back to the house boat. We would stick them in a whole and watch them try to get out. It was quite comical.

So Elimination is by far one of our favorite things to do while at powell. It is tradition. You put two tubes next to each other and then you wrestle each other off. Amanda Jane and I were quite the team this year. We had the system down to a T to get people off. We actually did pretty well. TC got so frustrated with both of us it was hilarious! In this picture I almost had TC but let's just say my bare butt was skidding across the water.

TC, Jane, and me trying to fight TC off!

We had just got Caden, and Walker off! The two blondes were tougher then everyone thought!

Kyle trying to flip the tube, but don't worry we held on

Jensen, Caden, Abby Jane, and Me (me and Abby ended up getting the boys off)

Lake Powell is one of my favorite Vacations. We went this year for memorial day. It was a blast. We went with the Taylors, Nielsons, Swensons, and the Murdocks. It was such a great group. It has been amazing to watch our families grow over the years. We had four recently returned missionaries, two serving at the time, and one getting ready to leave. It doesn't get better then that. The water was freezing but luckily the weather was great! We woke up early and did our morning runs, played cards, skiied, wake boarded, caught some frogs, swam, and laughed till our stomachs hurt. It was a great trip!!
