Today, Brittany had a belated birthday party because we were out of town on her birthday. Just like she did in the past, she wanted to have her party at “Feed My Starving Children.” Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding starving children. The approach is simple: children and adults […]
Today we got the DVD from Joyce Caywood of Benjamin’s photo shoot! The pictures turned out absolutely adorable! We were laughing histerically at some of the pics! Here is just a small sampling of the pictures that she took… We uploaded a bunch to my facebook site and also a photo site on Shutterfly
Today I got up really early and drove down to Bloomington/Normal, IL to pick up Sarah and Brittany and other kids from our ward from EFY. This is one of my favorite things to do becuase when I pick them up, they are SO happy, on a spiritual high, and I get to hear for
Today is Zach’s birthday and he was very excited! Last night we opened his presents becuase today, Sarah and Brittany took off for EFY in Bloomington, IL. It’s a little quieter around the house now! We asked him what he wanted to do and the first thing on his list was to go to McDonalds,
Today we arrived back home after 2 weeks of vacation and playing. We are totally exhausted from the 26 hours of driving, however! We left on Friday at noon after the Salmon River Days Parade (4th of July celebration) and took 2 1/2 days to get home. Since we had 2 cars and only 3
Today we went and did a little shopping with Mom and when we came back home, their mission call was in the mailbox! We were SO excited! The problem, however, is that Dad was out on a job a long way away and couldn’t come home right then. That said, the call sat on the

Today Mark got set apart as a missionary and he will be going into the MTC tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast time has flown! Angela and I were married before he was born and so I’ve been in the family longer than he has! 🙂 There was quite a crowd over at the
Today all 47 of us went to a beautiful location in Salmon Idaho to have our family pictures taken. A professional photographer was hired and she sure earned the pay she got today! 🙂 We first started out getting the entire family pictures taken, after which we did a bunch of pictures of just the
Today we went to church where Mark had his mission farewell talk. He did a GREAT job and he’ll make a wonderful missionary. It was very funny because the ward almost doubled in size due to all of our families there. The primary almost didn’t know what to do with 25+ more kids! 🙂 Sacrament
Today as we were driving from Angela’s sister’s house to Mom and Dad’s house in Salmon, ID, we came across a family posting a sign on the intersection of the highway and where Carla lives. Only in Idaho! This isn’t a sign you’d see posted up on the streets in Illinois! Turns out that this
We got up REALLY early and drove up to Rexburg, ID for a campus visit at BYU Idaho at 9:00 am. The girls were really excited about this one too. I was also excited as I got to go on the tour and such while Angela stayed with the rest of the kids! 🙂 Sarah
