Beth made gifts for Lily's coaches, Claire and Nikki. They were mega phones that every cheerleader from the 2013-14 squad could sign as a "thank you" for everything the coaches did this past year.

Granmama moves to Orem

Brian's mom, Carolyn, wanted to move to Utah into a house with no stairs. Beth found one in a neighborhood close by. We can drive to Granmama's house in 3 minutes.

Small hallway, much easier to clean














Sweet little neighborhood 















Brian's sisters Coleen and Alice flew from their homes to Monterey and then drove from Monterey to Orem to help Carolyn pack up and move in to her new home:

Beth's siblings came to help move Carolyn's furniture into her new house. Here is Beth's brother Danny helping move Carolyn's piano into her front room:
