Roman Guard

March 25,2010
Tonight at church we had an Enrichment Activity. It was called "A Walk with Christ" Mike was asked to be a Roman Guard-guarding Christ's tomb. It was such an uplifting night. The Relief Society did a great job. Every one was dressed according to the time period and even the food was unbelievable.

Not Yet Sweet 16

As parents who have already survived one teenage driver... We would like to think that we learned something the first time. Matt will not be 16 until November 22. We went a head and bought him the car that he will be driving. My car is too wide and Mike's truck is jacked up to high. We surprised him today and gave him the car so that he will be comfortable driving it alone when he does turn 16. He had the biggest grin on his face when he saw the car. It's an older model and we got it for a great price, and is in great shape. Matt works hard both in the classroom and on the field. We are proud of you Matt and love you very much. We have truly been blessed with 3 great boys.

St.Patricks Day

March 17, 2010

Matt and Tyler woke up to green pancakes and Mike wearing green hair. After the shock of Mike with the hair they decided to get in the act and put on their green hats. They even wanted to dye Ceasar's hair green. I had to hide the dog all day!!

Nauvoo

March 13, 2010

We spent the first part of Spring Break in Nauvoo Illinois. We didn't want Matt and Tyler spending their break just laying out on the beach somewhere, but learning that it's not a "ME" world. We took them to sights from the early pioneers from our Church and to see the trials and struggles that they endured. Packing up their homes and leaving belongings behind.

We met up with long time friends -John and Rebecca Frazier and their kids. We had a great time. The Nauvoo Temple is a beautiful sight at night.
