We had a laugh today… This morning, the photographer that took the family pictures called up and asked if we could bring Benjamin over to do a photo shoot! 🙂 She loved Ben and how photogenic he was on Monday. We met her at her studio and she took us over to a park with […]
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
Today we left North Ogden (which made the kids very sad) and drove up to Logan Utah to Utah State University. We arranged a visit with admissions for Sarah and Brittany, just like we did at BYU. Angela went with the girls while I drove around sleeping kids. When they got on campus, not only
Today was a pretty busy day! Angela and I got up early and attended a session at the Ogden Temple. It was nice to be out of the cares of the world for awhile. While we were there, we ran into Ted File! He and his wife Joan moved from Naperville a few years ago
Today we had a nice, relaxing day. We slept in, had a long breakfast, and then got took the kids swimming at the pool (with their cousins) while Ben took a much-needed nap. The pool was pretty busy but we were able to find a perfect pool-side table where we at lunch. Zach couldn’t wait
Today we left early and drove down to Provo for a BYU campus visit. It’s hard to believe that Sarah will be a Junior next year and will be applying to college! YIKES! Sarah worked on her resume and we set up a visit with an admissions counselor and a BYU campus tour for both
After driving almost 1500 miles, we arrived in North Ogden, Utah today to see my (Kirk’s) family! We got up early and started driving to get a jump on all the semi trucks on the roads. We finally saw rocky bluffs and mountains after 2 years! We got some good pictures! It was great to
Today we started on our 2-week family vacation/trip out west to Utah and Idaho. We are going to arrive in Utah on Saturday and stay through Thursday. We will then spend the next week in Idaho and come back home on the 4th, just in time to pack up Sarah and Brittany to go to
