Nanny Bayles

 Nanny was born in Germany, in a big family with 4 boys and 4 girls.  She lived there until

 she was 3, while her dad served as mission president, in the Frankfurt, Germany mission.

 They moved back to Bountiful Utah, where Nanny graduated from Viewmont High.  Her family loved road trips, camping and outdoor activities.  She also grew up playing the cello and all

 kinds of dance.  While in high school, Nanny was on the drill team and played cello in the

orchestra. 

 After graduation, Nanny majored in dance performance with an emphasis in modern

dance at BYU Provo.  Through some mutual friends, Nanny was introduced to Bryan (her future husband).  While just friends, she was very impressed with Bryan and mentioned to her girlfriend
that if she didn't marry Bryan Bayles she would have to marry someone just like him. When Bryan came home from his mission, he questioned where Nanny was.  He found out that she was on her mission in Ecuador, he tracked down her address and began writing her.  When she came home,

they started dating, had a short engagement and were married. 
     

 Nanny and Bryan started there marriage off with a life changing experience, that has given her strength and guidance in raising her small children.  While heading off on their honeymoon, they ended up in the hospital from a serious car accident, that only left them with scrapes and bruises.

She feels very blessed to be here, raising her family and for the opportunity to be a mother. Married now 11 years, they have 4 children: Edith-9, Ila-6, Pearl-4, Jens-18 months, with another little one on way, due on December 22nd.

Nanny loves the outdoors and is very active.  She finished her first marathon last summer.  She has completed the "little red riding hood," 100 mile bike ride, 4 times and has come home 3 of those times to find that she was pregnant!!

This cute family keeps themselves active and busy with the kids playing soccer and having piano and dance lessons.  They also get ski passes every year.  Nanny works two days a week at "Creative Arts Academy," in bountiful (dance for ages 3-18).

On Sundays, Nanny is always busy with a church calling, she now teaches sunday school to the 16 and 17 year olds.

What a fun family and a great lady.  If you don't already know Nanny, she is a fun person to talk with.
