This morning, we got up early and Sarah went and reported her mission to the High Council at the Stake Center. It was fun to be a part of that. Angela got to speak a little bit from the mom perspective as well. Sacrament Meeting was a treat at church today! We had 2 returned […]
Today was the BIG day! Sarah came home from serving her honorable full-time mission! We were so excited we couldn’t wait to get to the airport and pick her up! Angela found a screaming deal on a vinyl banner, so we put one together and had it shipped to us for this day. We all
Busy busy Saturday, but really, what’s new! 🙂 This morning, Ben played in his basketball game, and had a lot of fun. He’s getting better by the game, and really loves the team he plays on. His coach is great! After the basketball game, we ran Zach over for his Soccer game. I think he
This morning we went to church in Salmon and then left and drove as fast as we could down to Rexburg to drop Brittany back off. We decided to stick around and watch Brittany’s devotional she had with her musical group (From the Heart). While we were waiting for that, we had a picnic “late
Today, our nephew Wyatt was baptized in Salmon. It was a great experience for him and we were able to Skype in Mom and Dad from the Philippines to watch. How cool is technology nowadays! 🙂 After the baptism, we went over to Carla’s and Scott’s house for an afternoon of eating and relaxing. We
Today we had a busy day and it seemed even more busy without Angela with us! 🙂 She’s having a great time over there, despite the oppressive heat and humidity. Today was General Conference and we were excited for that. Turns out that Zach’s soccer coach’s (Jason Robbins) dad is a General Authority (member of
Today was a hugely busy and VERY long day! This morning, Julia Liddell and Mark Daniel were sealed in the temple. It was wonderful to be there! Luck would have it that our home teacher and the Stake Patriarch (who is also a sealer in the temple) performed the ceremony. 🙂 Julia had asked me
Tonight, we went to the temple with Julia Liddell and her family. She received her Endowment and it was so awesome to see her there. It’s hard to believe that time is moving so fast. Just yesterday Julia was with our girls in Young Women and now she’s getting married tomorrow. Jennifer Braithwaite and her
Today we fed the missionaries. Elder Schilling is the son of a couple that got engaged right before us at BYU and were in our ward. 🙂 Small world. We really enjoy feeding them and we like to take pictures of them to post or send to their parents! 🙂 We love it when people
Tonight Zach had an awesome (and possibly record-setting pack meeting)! He was awarded 24 belt loops, 5 pins, 2 silver arrow points, and his cub camp patch. As I said, I think it was a record in our ward for the most awards received at a single pack meeting. 🙂 He was so proud of
Today we had an awesome ward BBQ down in Larkspur at the city park. Tons of people showed up, and we all had a great time! I think that this was the most well attended ward activity that we have ever been too! It would be great if all were that way! 🙂 Hopefully going
Today Angela and I got to go over to Aspen View and meet the boy’s new teachers! They seem great (Ben – Johnson, Zach – Godwin) and are excited to teach our boys! We’ll see how that attitude is in a couple of months! 🙂 The boys are great and I think they’ll have a
