The Marchants

a little insight into our daily lives

Marchant Family Reunion

Ali | May 31, 2009

This weekend we had Ben’s family reunion in the Heber Valley Camp Ground.  They do a lot of girl’s camps up there.  It is a nice place to stay with a big kitchen a pavilion to eat/cook at.  I forgot to take a picture of it, but I was in charge of the dutch oven [...]

The Park

Ali | May 31, 2009

Alonzo loves going to the park.  I have yet to remember my camera when I am actually going to the park.  Maybe I should just stick it in my stroller, then I can’t forget it.  This week he had a good time at the park with his friend Zoe.  Zoe’s mom, Meridith, and I are [...]

Burnin’ Rubber

Ali | May 20, 2009

Alonzo got the sweetest new toy.  It’s a bike that is like a 4 wheeler.  Boy does he love it.  It has a horn and music and you can rev up the engine too.  I took video of him playing on it because it was so cute, but I need to edit it and I’ll [...]

No More Binkie

Ali | May 18, 2009

This is one of the few pictures I have with Alonzo sucking on his binkie.  He is only 5 months here.  He really loves it and for the past few months I have limited him to only using it to sleep, in the car, and at church.  When I went to his 15 month appointment, [...]

Branding the Cows

Ali | May 17, 2009

Saturday we spent the day in Peoa helping brand my father-in-law’s cows.  Ben had a great time rounding up all the cows and herding them to the corral.  They branded about 20 little baby calves.  They were so cute.  I wish I took a picture of that.  Alonzo liked to peak in at them.  They [...]

Camp T-shirts

Ali | May 13, 2009

Every year on the July 4th I do a basketball camp for my nieces and nephews on the Marchant side.  This will be my fourth one.  I’m very excited about the t-shirts this year, so I had to show you all the design.  They have a designer there that is very talented.  We told him [...]

Happy 4th Anniversary

Ali | May 6, 2009

We had some great plans this week to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary.  We were going to spend 2 nights at the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake, see movies, go out to dinner, and sit in their jacuzzi.  I was very excited.  Sadly, yesterday turned into one of the worst days of my life.  I [...]
