Beach Haven

​We’ve had several recent milestones within the family. Here are three. 

Cris Dunn posted about the arrival of her new grandchild. Callen was born to parents Jason and Paige Clough.  She notes that “Jason and Paige are very grateful that this little angle has come into their lives.” After a “bit of a rough start” in the NICU, Callen is doing well.

Welcome Callen! Congratulations to Jason and Paige!
​

Additionally, Nathan Beach completed his associate degree at Weber State University in Ogen, UT. Nathan is focused on his studies in user interface and user experience (UI/UX) in the computer science department. If all continues as planned, he will complete his baccalaureate by Christmas of this year.
​

Finally, we celebrate Aijah Blackburn for her baptism recently in Grantsville, UT. We are all proud of her decision to make a covenant with Heavenly Father. 
​

​Over the holidays, Jerry and Crystal Dunn welcomed a new grandchild. Ellie Swap was born to parents Tristen and Brandon. Ellie's mom wrote, "We are so in love with this sweet girl and don't know what we ever did without her."

​Emily and Kevin Coates welcome their third child to our family. Her name is Minerva Coates, and she came to us just a little before Christmas. What a terrific present! Leading up to the birth, Emily posted “Eviction day tomorrow! Let’s goooooo!” Minnie may have been evicted from her temporary nine-month home, but she is a permanent part of all of us now. Welcome Minnie!

Tim and Abby Beach recently experienced two life changes. They welcomed son Carson Kent Beach to the family, and Tim took a new job that moved the family from Florida to Idaho. Carson joins two older siblings, Brock and Tess.

Abby posted about both events on Facebook, noting about Carson’s birth, “He was born quite a few weeks early so he is receiving help in the NICU.  We are so grateful for all the prayers on our behalf as we get this boy healthy and try to navigate having our hearts in two places.”
​
When it came to moving Abby posted, “When Tim and I started discussing a move, I told him I did not want to live in Idaho. 😬 Now that we are here, I’m eating my words…We’ve landed in another beautiful place.”

​Naomi Beach was born on November 6th. We love you Naomi! Welcome to our family. 

Posted by her father, Mason Beach:
Maggie Beach and I are happy to announce the birth of our daughter Naomi Beach! She was born today at 10:27 am at Ogden regional. She weighs 7.25 pounds and measures 19.5 inches. She is a sweet bundle of happy chill baby. Thank you everyone for your support and love!

Welcome to the newest member of our family. Lucy Paulene Beach was born on Easter morning, April 12, at 10:30am. She weighed in at 8 pounds even and measured 20 inches. Proud parents Jacob and Kanneisha Beach are happy and tired. Lucy made it ‘outside’ via caesarian section. Mother and daughter are recuperating.

Kanneisha posted, “The last few days have been crazy. We went from just Jacob Beach and I to having Lucy on Easter. Lucy is doing great… I am doing good as well.”

Cooper, the family dog, is a protective 'big brother' to his new 'little sister'. Jacob notes how Cooper is quick to come to Lucy’s side whenever she fusses.
