Fish Culture Employee of the Year!

Congrats Dad for being awarded the Fish Culture Employee of the Year! Check out the DWR website: http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/news/08-04/employees.php

Dad has worked with DWR for many, many years and has done so much to help them be better and run smooth! He really knows his stuff!

Dad is now working as the Super Attendant at the Whiterocks Fish Hatchery. This is now the 4th hatchery he has worked at (that I am aware of). He started at Midway, spent most of his time in Kamas and spent a year or so in Fountain Green.

When I was growing up, I would sometimes get to go with Dad planting fish by truck. He also plants fish by plane in the Uinta mountains but we weren't allowed on those trips unfortunately! I have always thought that my Dad has a cool job!

Love you Dad! Keep up the great work!

Anne's (and mommy's) favorite new chair

Ahh...asleep! This chair has to be the best invention ever! I am able to get so much more done with this one chair! Not only does it rock, it also vibrates! There is also a little arch thing that goes over it but Anne isn't really into that just yet. She got this chair at the baby shower that Emily and Sharman did for us last weekend...THANK YOU!!!

Today was a big day for Anne...her first time going to church. It was good to go back (and show her off)! With Dan's work schedule, I ended up having to go alone. She did pretty well. I had my first experience in the mother's lounge and also with changing her on a changing table. I forgot her cute little bloomers in there though and had to go back and get them after church! I'm sure I'll get it all down some day!

I can't believe that little Anne is already 6 weeks old! Time just flies. She is so much fun. Her smiles are becoming more and more frequent now as well as her sleeping during the night. She gets up only once or twice to eat...which is great! We just love her so, so much!!!

Antonia's Blessing Day

Antonia Lee Cartier was blessed April 6, 2008 at her Nana and Papa Dewey's house in Woodland. It was such a special day for all of us. That day was also special because it was her one month birthday! She is getting so big, so fast! She had her 4 week appointment two days before and she is now at 10 pounds, 3 ounces and has grown another inch!

Three generations - all the oldest in the family. Nana Stacy Lee, Mommy Alisha Lee and cute, hungry baby Antonia Lee.

This was the dueling of the grandma's to see who could feed her. They both love little Anne so much!

We just want to thank everyone that were able to be there to share this special day with our family. We wished that Jessica and her family could be there. They were greatly missed by all of us!
