Today we had a big and busy day! We started out going to the temple to take pictures of Zach in his suit (like we do for all the kids when they are baptized). We had an enjoyable time there and Zach looked so cute in his suit and tie. 🙂 After the temple, we […]
Today we had a special Stake Conference and they re-aligned ward boundaries in the northern end of the Stake. Everyone knew last week that this was coming, so the talk of the week has been about what the boundaries might be, who will go where, who will be affected, who we will get new in
Brittany and Kirstyn got home from Girls’ Camp today and were very smelly! 🙂 We got them in the shower ASAP and after that, the house was much better! They had a GREAT time and did a lot of fun stuff. Kirstyn has a TON of pictures which I won’t post here on the blog,
Today was Mark’s and Jocelyn’s big wedding day! Angela arrived safe and was very excited to be there with family. The rest of us were sad that we couldn’t all be out there, but with the short notice and the fact that we were all just out there, we couldn’t make it work. Angela had
Last night, our friends, the Gaul’s, left for vacation and dropped off their Foreign Exchange Student from Spain to stay with us until Friday. Her name is Paula and she’s really nice. She’s a little younger than Sarah and the boys took right to her! This morning, Angela and I left at about 3:30 to
Today, Brittany and Kirstyn got up early and headed off to Girls’ Camp! They are pretty excited to go out and have a blast with all their friends from the Stake. It will be fun for them to get all dirty and slimy, camp out in tents, and be crazy with a bunch of other
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
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
Today was a VERY long day! Sarah found out that the niece (I think) of some friends of ours is in the Marching Band at BYU and is the piccolo section leader! She was in town visiting and so Sarah and Kristen went up to meet and talk with her about expectations, etc. What a
Today, Mark gave his homecoming talk at church, which was wonderful. As part of the program, all the kids and grand-kids got up on the stand and sang Called to Serve in Spanish! 😐 It was crazy! What also was very interesting is that the speaker that spoke with Mark had a family visiting him
Today was Zach’s big baptism day. He has been looking forward to this day for a long time and couldn’t wait! He got up really early and wanted to know if it was time yet! 🙂 We had to laugh about that one. We hope he is that excited to be good all the time
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
