Monkey See, Monkey Do!

How lucky we are to have Aaron!

Ashton wants to be just like him,

...all the way down to his hair!

"Sometimes I dream that he is me,

You've got to see that's how I dream to be.

Again I try, Just need to fly.

For just one day if I could

Be that way."

Aloha Elder Geoffrey!

My brother Geoffrey has been called to serve in the Honolulu, Hawaii mission! We were so thrilled as he read his mission call! Hawaii is the perfect place for him! We know he will be a special missionary as he has such a sweet disposition and fun loving character! Congratulations Elder! See you in 2 years!!!

Get Ready, Set.. GO!!

Aaron took Ash to the Junior Tot's Olympics in Sugarhouse to compete for gold! He did great and came home with 2 first place ribbons and 1 second place!

Easter

This year we had a great time decorating Easter Eggs and discovering what the tricky bunny had done with them Easter morning! Ashton had also learned the Easter story in primary and was able to tell us all about it! His narrative of the stone being rolled away from the tomb was priceless! I'm so happy to have Christian traditions and the knowledge of the Savior's sacrifice for us!

Irresistable

Who can say no to a puppy?...or better yet, who can say no to a son who wants to save a puppy? Certainly no one in my family can! My brother Geoffrey found this little girl at a farm in a barn where 3 other puppies had died from the cold. He couldn't resist and begged and cried for her until my parents agreed to let him have her. Why was it such a tough desicion? Because A: The family dog Buddy just passed away barely a month ago, and B: Geoffrey leaves on his mission in 3 month's time! Molly sure is cute and sweet, hope she stays that way!
