The Genetic Jackpot--Madison Albright
More Cannon
Cannon is almost 9 mths old now. Seems like he was just born. He is the sweetest, calmest little boy (just like his mom). I got to watch him for a week while his parents went to New York and it was really fun. I got to play with him and feed him and remember the days filled with babies. He's a really cuddly one and I held him most of the time.


Grahm Blanchard was born on January 26, 2008. He Looks just like big brother Markie. A new mom isn't really suppose to look this good right after giving birth. Grahm is just precious. He gave us a real scare when he came to visit in April and ended up in the hospital with RSV for 10 days. Michelle was here for the birth of Ashlee' s baby Dakota and we ended up with babies on 2 floors of the hospital at the same time. Dakota had some problems at birth (all better now) and had to stay in the NICU for a week. So we went from the 2nd to the 3rd floors to see babies. Isn't she Lovely--Dakota, My Newest Grandchild

The sound of an Angel
This is Brandon at his best: with a mike in hand and that killer smile.
Joseph and the...Highlights!!
Brandon & Kelly- Our American Idols
Our son Brandon Berrett Albright was the middle child. There are many ways to describe him but one of the best is that He is a triple threat. He is a multitalented and loving young man. Even as a little boy he was focused. He worked hard too accomplish whatever he put his mind to. He always wanted to please his parents, teachers, and friends. And so whatever he was involved in he tried to do his best. He played sports of all kinds (baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, swimming, snowboarding, motorcyles, skateboards, BMX bikes) . Brandon was involved in scouts from 8 yrs old until he recieved his Eagle Scout in high school. He also was a leader and was involved in student government many years of high school. He had such a great speaking voice that they loved to use him for all the assemblies. Brandon played tennis and volleyball in high school. The girls also love Brandon and from the time he was a first grader we were trying to fight off all the adoring girls.But most of all he loved music. As a mother I should have noticed much earlier his true love and talent: music. For his 8th birthday all he wanted was to go see "Phantom of the Opera". So we took him to Calif. to see it. He knew all the songs. In 5th grade he sang in choir the solo, "ain't nothing like a dame", in Jr. high he was in choir, and in high school he finally asked to take voice lessons. His true passion was finally focused on and He is a
real star. His voice teacher, Jeffrey Skousen, helped him develop the great potential he has reached. He starred in his high school plays, and sang a solo at the graduation. Brandon started performing in community theater in high school. Brandon went to BYU and played hard. He served a mission to British Columbia Vancouver, Canada spanish speaking mission. He was a great leader and served as Assistant to his pres. He was able to use his music talents and sing and record and give firesides on his mission. When Brandon got home from his mission, he was asked to audition for the prince in "cinderella". Kelly Fotheringhom had already been cast as Cinderella. Well, he hadn't talked to girls in two years, and got to kiss Kelly in the audition. And the rest is history. He not only got the part, but married the princess in real life. Kelly and Brandon are a perfect match. She is a BYU graduate in "dance, music, theater", performed in Japan Disney, and an off Broadway tour for a year. They share the same passion for music and theater. Kelly is a Real Estate Agent along with lots of performing. We love Kelly who has made Brandon complete. Brandon performs all kinds of music and has the unique ability to cross all genres well. Brandon is still pursuing a college degree in philosophy. Attends college full time, works full time at a jewelry store, loves the gospel and puts on firesides and teaches the teenagers in his ward, and devotes lots of time to a music career. He has starred in many shows, most recently a show at the Rio, "All In" and "Aida" at Spring Mt. Ranch Summer Theater. You can tel l that I am Brandon's biggest fan. He is my affectionate boy and loves to hug his mom.
Mark Gets Released
Mark was released as Redrock Stake President in Nov 2007. Elders Zwick and Hamula were the visiting authorities.
It was bitter-sweet after ten wonderful years of service. Steve Weston and Blayne Ence served as councilors the full 10 years. The 3 of them were a devoted, amazing, and fun Presidency, loved dearly by the Redrock Stake.

Steven and Misti Albright -- Madison's blessing day - March2008
Steven Mark Albright is our oldest son. A great word to describe him is energy. He loves to go, go, and do, do. Watching him can make you tired. Steven is incredibly devoted. He will defend you to the end. I know I can always depend on him if I need help. As a little child his energy was endless, hard to contain. He was the friendliest little boy on the block. (brought home a homeless lady from the desert and got us involved with her). As a youth Steven played every sport we could sign him up for (baseball, soccer, basketball, football, tennis, golf, wrestling) City sports teams filled our evenings and Saturdays. In high school he played Volleyball and tennis and swam on the swim team. Steve is very coordinated and athelic. I'm always amazed at his strength. Steven has an incredible sense of humor and keeps everyone laughing. In school he was involved in theater and kept the audience laughing. Snowboarding in the winter and water sports in the summer were his favorites. Scouting also kept him busy, he loves camping and hiking and received his Eagle Scout award. Steven attended UVSC as a freshman and then served a mission in Iowa, spanish speaking. He loved his mission and was a great leader, serving as Assistant for the last few months. Steven is currently enrolled at University of Phoenix with plans for Law School in a yr. He works for Intermountain mineral as a salesman. Steven also loves the gospel and is the first person the ward calls for anything they need done. He has turned out remarkably handy, (stained the floors, paints wall, strips and finishes cupboards, etc). And his garage is sparkling and organized--who would have guessed?Steven is a joy to watch as he has become a great man and father. The joy of his life is Madison, his baby girl. As he put it "we hit the genetic jackpot". His wife Misti is an angel. She is the softening agent behind the scenes. Thank you Misti. She is a nurse in the NICU at Valley Hospital, a very stressful job that she is great at performing. I get to watch Madison a day a week. Lucky me. We love Steve and Misti much more than they know.
The Sinquefield Family: Taylor, Nicole, Bailey, Payton, & Cannon
My oldest daughter is Kelly Nicole Albright Sinquefield. One of the best words to describe Nicole is gentle. She is quiet and peaceful and sweet. And from the moment she was born she was beautiful. Even as a child she was driven and hardworking. (the oldest child syndrome). She loved all her baby siblings and was the worlds best babysitter. And now she is just as good of a mother. Nicole was born in Provo, Utah, but raised in Las Vegas. She grew up dancing in all her spare time. Was on "Stars" dance team for years, and took dance at Dance Works . She was a cheerleader all through highschool and she excelled academically, graduating 6th in a class of 1000. She attended BYU for college, transferring to UVSC for the Dental Hygiene program. She works at a dental office 1-2 days a week. She and her husband Taylor are Regional Vice Presidents for a company called ACN, an MLM co. that sells telecommunication services. It's hard to believe that our shy little Nicole gets up and does training in front of thousands at conventions for ACN. Nicole has always been committed to the gospel and teaches Relief Society in her ward. We love Nicole with all our hearts. Her husband Taylor is fun loving, loud, musical, athletic,and missionary minded. He keeps the family laughing and playing, performs whenever asked (he has a beautiful voice). He makes everyday seem like a party. Taylor loves the gospel also and we love having him as a son in law. Bailey, Payton, and Cannon are a joy to our lives. We are so blessed to have them living close to us. They come and visit grama alot and keep me laughing.Grandparenting is the best.
