Happy Birthday Zach!

Today was Zach’s big eighth birthday!  Happy Birthday little man!!! Zach’s morning started off with a cinnamon roll with candles from Grandma.  He laughed when he saw it.  Grandmas like to do things like that!  🙂 He then opened all his presents and really liked that.  He got his first set of “big boy” scriptures […]

Moving on to Idaho

Today we left North Ogden and traveled up to Salmon Idaho.  Brittany drove most of the way which was GREAT!  She’s racking up the hours so she can get her license!  🙂 When we got to Salmon, we had a relaxing afternoon (at least for most of us)!  🙂  Some never relax and are always

More Fun in Utah, Returned Missionary

Today was crazy busy!  We started off the day making our way down to Salt Lake City, visiting my uncle Marv along the way.  He hasn’t been doing so well lately and is pretty sick.  It was nice to see the family.  We haven’t seen them in probably 12 years.  That’s one of the drawbacks

Fun in North Ogden

Today we had a relaxing day in North Ogden.  We were pretty tired from our travels and the last couple of days in the Denver area, so it was nice to relax.  We all went and saw the movie Brave, came back and kicked back and ended the day with a family back yard BBQ.

Church and On to Utah

Today we got up and attended church today at the Liddell’s ward.  I purposefully wore a colored shirt to church becuase I could, and Terry Liddell laughed when he saw me.  He asked me if it was rebellion Sunday, to which I agreed!  🙂  Their ward was nice although about half the ward was gone

Fun in Castle Rock!

Today we got up early (some probably due to the time change) and got a start on a busy but very fun day.  We toured all through Castle Rock and saw about everything you could see.  We really like it here, especially the weather (dry but not too hot).  There is a huge fire burning

Leave for Summer Trip!

Today we left for our summer vacation/family reunion/baptism event/college prep trip.  🙂  We decided to leave a couple days earlier and today, we started off early and drove to Denver.  We will be staying until Sunday afternoon with the Liddell family, our friends from the Naperville 2nd Ward who moved to Denver back in February.

Kirstyn Summer Chorus Concert

Today we went and saw Kirstyn’s Summer Chorus Concert at Metea.  The kids had been working really hard all week to put on this concert at the end of their summer music experience.  They did a GREAT job!  It never ceases to amaze me at how good the  music program in our district is. The

EFY Over, Kayaking, and Cirque du Soleil

Well, EFY is now over and I drove down to Normal IL to pick up Brittany and some other folks that went down.  That’s one of my favorite things to do.  It’s great driving back home listening to all the fun stories and such from the kids.  🙂  The only thing I don’t like is

Baptism Interview and New/Old Friends

Today, Zachary had his baptism interview with the Bishop.  He is so excited to get baptized!  We also dressed him up and took pictures for his announcement. We also got a call from Brittany this morning and she said she met this “really hot” guy down at EFY and she said his name was Baxter.

Summer Chorus Starts!

Today Kirstyn started a summer chorus program at Metea Valley High School.  It is for all the middle schools in the district to give them practice and prepare them for the next year.  Our district is great at doing these kinds of programs and it is wonderful to see how much time and effort they

Off to EFY!

Today, Brittany went off to EFY in Normal, IL.  She is SO excited!  Initially we weren’t going to let her go because she is saving money for her Florida road-trip with the Marching Band during Christmas Break, but we gave in and decided to let her go.  She comes back acting so nice and has
