Ben Talk in Primary
Today Ben gave a talk in Primary. It was so cute. He was a little shy when he first started, but then (true to form), he got confident and then started smiling from ear to ear as he spoke (with help from his mom). It was quite cute and humorous at the same time. Everyone

Greatful Dead Ward Activity
This morning (after only about 3 hours of sleep), we got up early and headed over to a cemetery for a ward activity. It was entitled “Our Greatful Dead.” We all got together and each took a section of the cemetery. We cataloged all the headstones, took pictures of them, did rubbings where we couldn’t

The last two days were spent driving and they actually went pretty fast. The kids were pretty good all the way home and they rested a lot. We saw some beautiful country! We decided to drive up through Rexburg Idaho and then over a beautiful canyon through the Teton Mountain Range. We sure miss it

Relaxing Vacation Day #1
After all the partying and events over the last few days, we are all beat! That said, we decided to stay a day longer, rest, and do nothing. We all got our hair cut from Carla and Ben got a buzz cut. It is really cute, but it’s really weird to see him with no

Party Day #2
Today was a really busy party day as well! Salmon had their Salmon River Days 4th of July parade today so we went to that. It was pretty busy, and at this time of the year, I swear, the town doubles in size. 🙂 The parade was fun to watch. It’s a very small town
