Travis Jr. was ordained a Deacon Sunday

 
Posted by Picasa


Can you believe it?? Our oldest doesn't attend primary anymore. Travis Jr. was all grown up and handsome as he walked up to shake the bishops hand in sacrament on Sunday. I had to fight back the tears a bit. I'm so glad Heavenly Father sent Travis Jr. to be my oldest son. He's such a good example to me. A great son, brother and friend. What a blessing it is to have him in my life. His dad gave him such a beautiful blessing yesterday in the bishops office. I was glad Kelli and Brandon were able to be there to witness him being ordained. Such a great spirit filled the room. Look forward to many more special events.

What a fun slide show. Looks like you had the best time with your sister and her fam. Her kids are so good looking as well. That sledding looks amazing! The sushi making brought back some good memories we've had with you all.

Trav Jr. way to go on becoming a deacon. You are positively a choice young man. We love you.

He's a wonderful son with wonderful parents.

I'll bet your mom wishes she'd have been in Utah for all that fun, what fantastic photos. You girls look more alike every year.

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parents need to "play offense" - to capitalize on the impressionable years of childhood by instilling in their sons the antecedents of character. Their assignment during two brief decades will be to trasform their boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers of commitments, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and secure. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faithis to give each child understanding of scripture and a lifelong passion of Jesus Christ. This is, I believe. the most important responsibility for those of us who have been entrusted with the careand Nurturance of children.

Christmas In Elma!!

We left for WA the 13th of December - I barely made it to Seattle to hand the kids over to my Dad and catch a flight to Atlanta where I would join Trav for his company Christmas Party the next day. Trav and I had a fun get away and were able to do a little Christmas shopping. We stayed Thursday, Friday and Saturday and flew back to Seattle Sunday morning where we stayed until January 3rd - We were able to catch a Elma Boys Basketball game. The boys thought it was really cool looking at all the family(uncles & aunts) names on the walls before you entered the Gym doors. Michael and I went and Chatted with Coach Nadau one afternoon. It was so fun spending time with family and friends
