Happy Birthday, Jason !!! (yesterday)

Well, Nana and Papa tried to reach Jason last night on his cell phone, but he didn't answer. So we (plus Ashley) sang all three verses to his voicemail!

Sorry we missed you Jason! We hope you had an enoyable birthday!

Here's what happens when Papa is shut out from the world for ten days... scary isnt it?

The Heart of Texas

I watched a documentary last night on BYU-TV that I HIGHLY recommend you find the time to watch. This is a one-hour documentary on how one man not only demonstrated true and complete forgiveness, but how he helped an entire community to understand what forgiveness is.

This is when it is scheduled on BYU-TV (Mountain), but I think you can go on-line anytime and watch it.

April 3 @ 8:00p The Heart of Texas
April 5 @ 1:00p The Heart of Texas
April 5 @ 7:00p The Heart of Texas
April 8 @ 1:00p The Heart of Texas

I know He is risen, and He forgives us all! It also helps to see examples of mortals proving that it is possible.

Love, Dad

Happy Easter!

I'm starting to smile!

Ashlyn really loves me.

So does Kaylee.

I'm not quite sure what to do with these yet.

And I still have the craziest hair around!

This Place is a Zoo!

We finally did it! We got into the city and spent a day having lots of fun. Although we have been into the city as a family once before and seen some of the sights, this time the wind chill was above zero (the temps were in the high 30s/low 40s) so it was a lot more enjoyable. James was scared of the animals at first but got into it more after he saw the apes running around.

We're going to make a plan to do more fun things while we live here. Two times into the city in two years is not enough. More details about today will be on our blog shortly.

Meet you in Midway!

Here is the latest plan for a reunion this August... We have 3 two bedroom units (each sleeps 6) booked at Worldmark in Midway, Utah for Aug 4th - 11th (check out on 11th). That is 7 nights of fun together! We will stay somewhere for 2 more nights so we can attend Angie's graduation, then take off for Oregon on the 14th. Anyone see a theme going on? We start on Doug and Emily's anniversary, end on Nikki and Jason's, and head home on Angie and Brandon's! It just worked out that way, but maybe it should be our theme... you can submit any suggestions and we can vote on just the right name. Dad and I are flying in on the 4th. Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Janet (and slight chance of Uncle Allen) are also planning to join us. Dad and I will be driving one of Brandon and Angela's vehicles home and Grandma and Grandpa will fly to Oregon on the 14th and arrive ahead of us. There is some flexibility in the dates in Midway. Should we start on the 6th and end on the 13th and go straight to graduation? That would mean Nikki and Jason and family would probably miss the last 2 days, as they have to be home by the 16th and want 4 days to make the drive. I will be awaiting everyone's input. Doug and Emily don't know yet about their summer plans, so be praying it will work out for them to come. Hey, Anne, maybe we can call this location the real "honeymoon suite"... I don't think there are any box elder bugs in Utah that time of year!
