Our Little Sadie..............

This poem was written by a friend of Lynee's.

More to come!!!

Our Fathers’ Hands

A gift we received on a cold winter day,
Two precious baby girls were coming to stay.
Identical hearts that beat strong as one,
A bond so divine, twill never be done.

Mommy and Daddy, their number one fans.
So recently cradled in our Fathers’ hands.
They’d learn and they’d grow, they’d take their first steps,
In their sweet mothers heart to immeasurable depths.

Bouncing blonde girls, giggles and smiles.
A blessing from heaven, on lone for awhile.
Our sweet baby Sadie, our strong lil’ Capri,
Adorable gems in our family.

Now Heavenly Father has a plan of His own,
Sadie’s sweet time, a test that was done.
So sweet baby Sadie, so precious and sweet.
Now in her glory at her Fathers feet.

The veil now a mirror, one heart on each side
A legacy of love…eternal, divine.
Two warriors of Light to help us each day,
To cheer us, to guide us, to prepare us a way.

One at our side to still hold our hand,
One with her wings, our hearts in her hand.
So this one way mirror, with Sadie and Capri,
Will continue to bless the Fife family.

Now wrapped in His arms and clothed in His glory
She’ll soar to new heights, a star in His story
On Heavenly plains, she’ll take her new stand,
For she’s once again cradled in our Fathers’ hands.

With Love, Mandi Taylor

October cold has arrived!!

October arrived and it let us know that winter is approaching!! It has been beautiful with all the fall colors. I love this time of year. We get our wood burning stove going and get to enjoy the fire!!! Conference was wonderful. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to listen on the internet whenever we want. To think we use to have to wait till it come out in the next ensign. So far so good for Zermatt. We have mixed emotions about the winter. When we get our first snow storm Darin loves it and then by the time we are two weeks into snow he is ready to pack up and move to a warmer place. He has been looking for a bigger snow blower!! Bigger means less work!!! The kids are all doing well. I am homeschooling Phillip for awhile....he has been sick and we are trying to get him better. It has been very interesting. Wow what a 6th grader can teach you. (Out of the mouth of babes!) We hope that you are all well!! Take Care and come and visit us in Midway!!!

Time Goes By!!!

Wow.....it has been sometime since I last make an entry. Due to issues with vacations in the summer at we took an awesome family trip to Yellowstone mid-May. It was so much fun. We have great kids and they got along really well. It is always fun to take the kids and just get away for awhile. We survived the summer and Swiss Days. FUN FUN!! The kids are trying to adjust to being back in school. Haven't quite got the hang of homework yet since school started late this year....due to the fact that we moved into the new High School. It started the same week as Swiss Days. That wasn't what I call good planning but it worked out alright.

Darin is really enjoying his job at Zermatt Resort and Spa. They are doing really well... all things considered. He loves his calling as the Varsity Coach in young mens.

Nancee...I am currently the Scout committee chair and have been informed that I will be in that calling for awhile. I just hit the year mark. It does take a lot to learn and I am still learning. It is fun now that Travis and Ty are in Boy Scouts.

Jenessa is at BYU and loving it. She doesn't want to come home cause there are too many fun activities to take up her time. She has already changed her major at least once.

Larissa (10th) is on the Volleyball team and loves it!! I wish she liked doing her jobs around the house and school 1/2 as much as she likes volleyball.

Travis (8th) is spending his 3rd year in the RMMS (Rocky Mountain Middle School) cause they changed the grades that attend there. All I can say is it is a good thing that our new high school is so big cause Travis and Larissa will both be there next year. Heaven help us!! Travis just completed his Eagle project and now just has to submit his paper work!!!

Ty (7th) is spending his 2nd year at RMMS and will still have one more year there before moving onto the High School. He just purchased his own 22 rifle. Very excited about it. He loves to go shooting with Dad!! Ty already has an Eagle project in mind!!

Phil (6th) is all by himself at the New Timpanogos Intermediate School. (The old Jr. High) He loves his friends and his teachers. He will be joining Ty next year at the RMMS. He is just starting to get into scouts and earning merit badges.

Nate (3rd) is my last in Elementary school. He is not too sure about being there without his brothers. He is adjusting slowly. He is our baby and definitly spoiled!! He just started Cub Scouts. He is very social and wants to play with his friends all he can.
