1sT hAiRcUt


Kastle got his 1sT hAirCuT from aunt Mer while we were in Salt Lake for Thanksgiving weekend. He was happy as could be until she used the razor. He didn't appreciate his hair being pulled. Is this the saddest face ever?

Jane Waldron Baer


My sweet Aunt Jane went back to her Heavenly Father this week. She was loved by everyone who knew her and will be missed dearly. If I had to chose one word to describe my beautiful aunt it would be "classy". I dont know anyone that would disagree.

Jane Waldron Baer, beloved and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend, finished her mortal journey on November 27, 2011. The youngest daughter of Russell and Lucille Waldron, Jane was born April 14, 1943 in Tremonton, Utah. She attended Bear River High School, where she served as student body Secretary. After high school, she attended and graduated from Utah State University with a degree in English, where she was again involved in student government as student body Secretary. She was a member and President of Kappa Delta sorority. Jane later transferred to the University of Utah, where she did graduate work. Jane then taught High School English and German at Olympus High School in Salt Lake City, Utah.No biography of Jane Waldron Baer would be complete without mention of her two great loves: her family and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her concern for and service to both defined Jane and provided her greatest joy. Her life was spent in constant service of others. In service, she is an example we can emulate but likely never equal.Jane's high school sweetheart was Mark Alma Baer, also a native of Tremonton. She supported Mark while he served a two-year mission in West Germany. They were married on March 24th, 1965 in the LDS Logan Temple. After Mark graduated from the University of Utah, they moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where Mark attended Case Western Reserve Dental School and Jane served as Relief Society President of their Cleveland Ward. The growing family moved to California where they were stationed at Travis Air Force Base, and then Colorado Springs, Colorado, while Mark served as a dentist in the Air Force. After completing their Air Force service, they moved their still growing family to Alamosa, Colorado and set up a dental practice. Five years later they again moved to Littleton, Colorado, where they began a new practice, settled and raised their family. Jane's primary efforts through this time were raising her six children and serving in her Church and community. She spent countless hours happily engaged in the tasks of homemaking: cooking, cleaning, homework, nurturing and shopping. She could usually be found in her kitchen, helping her children with homework, entertaining house guests, or typing countless letters to missionaries, friends, or lonely students away from home. She was active in the P.T.O. and could always be found serving her neighbors and the members of her Ward family. She held a variety of callings in her church which allowed her to serve and love an ever-widening circle of friends. Jane taught early morning seminary for several years where she loved, taught and influenced many youth in her stake. In 2003 Jane and Mark began a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kiev, Ukraine. Here they were specifically assigned to oversee the Church Education System working specifically with young adults. Jane was again successful in making everyone around her feel loved and important. She had a profound impact on the Ukrainian people with whom she served. After returning home, Mark and Jane were called to serve as Second Counselor and Assistant to the Matron, respectively, of the LDS Denver Temple. Three years later, they were called to serve as President and Matron of the Denver Temple. Jane loved her service in the temple and loved those with whom she served. Jane was beloved by all who knew her. She was gracious and kind to everyone. Those who have only met Jane once, likely remember feeling loved and appreciated. She served well and loved well. Her devotion to her God and her family is a great legacy to all who knew her and loved her. Though Jane will be missed, her charity and compassion will be remembered by all. Jane is survived by Mark, her husband of 46 years; her three sons, Daniel Baer of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Robert Baer of Ft. Collins, Colorado, and David Baer of Parker, Colorado; her three daughters, Laura Boggess of Las Vegas, Nevada, Barbara Nelson of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Julie LaClare of Castle Rock, Colorado; her thirty (and counting) grandchildren, Cannon, Anne, Sam, Jane, Jacob, Brooke, Mark, Meagan, Andrew, Matthew, Joseph, Daniel, Sydney, Max, Calvin, Travis, Bridgett, Marcus, Baerett, Ashley, Sophie, Savannah, Olivia, William, Russell, Madison, Eliana, Micah, Keane, and Delaney; and her sister Barbara Howard, and brothers Kirk Waldron and Kelly Waldron. A viewing will be held at the Horan and McConaty Funeral Home located at 5303 East County Line Road on Friday, December 2nd from 6-8pm.A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. in the LDS Chapel located at 1939 Easter Avenue, Littleton, Colorado. A brief viewing will precede the funeral services beginning at 9:30 and concluding at 10:30 a.m.

Its that time of year again, fAmiLy piCtUreS. We had my little sister Anna take them for us again this year. She does such a great job. Thanks, Anna!

cHriStmAs tReEs


One of our favorite holiday traditions is cutting down our ChRisTmAs tReE. This year we got to do it as a fAmiLy with Kastle. It has been a very warm year because usually we are hunting for our tree in snow.

wALdRoN tHanKsGiviNg




Rick and I took Kastle up to KaYsviLLe for his very 1st ThaNksGiviNg. We had a good crowd even though we were missing about half of my brothers and sisters. We were so glad that my Grandma and Grandpa Manning could be there with us and that I got to get a picture with them holding Kastle. It was a very HapPy tHanKsGiviNg.

KaStLe's bLesSiNg


We had kaStLe bLesSeD this last fast sunday. We had it up in New Harmony. Rick's mom was so good to put up my family that came down for it. We had such a fun visit with all of them. My dad gave the blessing and Kastle was so good, he didn't make a peep. Rick's grandpa Benson (who Kastle is named after) said that he took a peek during the blessing and Kastle was staring right at him smiling. What a little sweet boy.

TriMmEr dAiRy

GoT MiLk?

I found this cute little cow costume at Tj Maxx (I think before he was even born) and it just felt totally appropriate that I be the dAiRy (lets face it ladies.....that is really all I am these days). We went with Rick's grandma to her ward's TrUnK or tReAt and had a fun time handing out candy.

PBR - LaS vEgaS




PbR fiNaL - LaS vEgaS
Rick's mom is a big fan of PBR so we all went down to Vegas and watched a great show. Afterwards Rick and I talked his family into trying sushi at our favorite place in town. It was so yummy.

AhhHh.... FaLL

LaDieS niGhT aT mCdoNaLds


I was up in kAysViLLe for a nice long visit with my family while Rick went hunting. While I was there I got to see the gals. We had a sweet LaDieS niGhT! (oh, at Mcdonalds... with all the kids) And that is how the mommies roll, gotta love it. It was so fun to catch up and we even had a special surprise to see Emily. She was in town from South Dakota and stopped over. I had a great time.

FisHLakE - eLk hUnt


We went up to FisHLaKe with Rick's family for the eLk hUnt. We rented little cabins on the lake. It was gorgeous, the leaves were all changing for fall (my favorite time of year). It was fun to spend some time with the family and Rick was excited that he filled his tag.
