WELCOME HOME, MARC!

We are so proud of our nephew/cousin, Marc!  

He is returning (to Wyoming) tonight from a 2 year mission in California.  We wish we could be there to give him a hug but look forward to him coming to Houston in a week!  We love you, Marc and are so very proud of you!  Welcome Home!!

Scout Camp 2010 - West Texas

Dan, Ryan, and Ransom went to Scout Camp the first week of August. I think they had fun - when they finally got there!!

P.A. Trip

Our trip to PA was very nice - the weather cooperated, we had enjoyable visits with several friends, the cabin was peaceful as usual - couldn't have asked for better. Many thanks to all who helped in making this a successful visit - thank you so very much!

Father's Day - 2010

We had a very nice breakfast with Dan's family - always a pleasure to sit and visit.
Had dinner at my parent's house. Celebrated Josh's 27th birthday that was on the 17th. The guys finished Dad's new room enough for him to shower. I was going to take pictures and then forgot. I'll catch them the next time I'm out there.
Happy Father's Day to all our fathers and acting fathers - we love you!!

Yes, we are extremely excited!!!!

Congratulations, Tracy & Preston!
We are so happy for you and we love you both so much!

Remembering My Friend Lorraine...

February 16, 1957 - May 19, 2010
Went to my friend Lorraine's funeral today...
I have been reminded, yet again, how very much our Heavenly Father loves each of us. He truly does.
I will miss you Lorraine but look forward to seeing you again!

Our Friend, Jen...

I have a very good friend - her name is Jen. She dropped off this beautiful loaf of bread, homemade berry jam and this very cute card while we were gone this evening. Someday I'll tell her how absolutely perfect it was that she remembered us on this specific day but for now I would just like to say "THANK YOU, JEN!!". What a great example of our Savior's love!

Now, if you turn that loaf of bread around you'll get the rest of the story...I thought you'd like to know that we followed Jen's example and were good neighbors (kinda) - we shared our bread with them (not that we had much choice) - unfortunately "they" were "neighbors" of the 4 legged variety - my guess would be a raccoon. Dan & the boys were the first ones home - they said they found it in the driveway...sorry, Jen - I know you must have put a lot of time, effort, and love into this bread and it does smell yummy, but we'll definitely enjoy the jam and we'll always remember the day Jen brought us the yummy smelling bread!! Thank You so very much!!
