April To MAYYYYYYYYYYYY

Lots of fun things to celebrate over the last month.....Grandma Carolyn turned 68 in April. So, So, fun to have my parents here in Enterprise with us. We have been able to capture and celebrate many memories with them. We are excited to see where they will go on their mission. We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Dancing with the grandsons....Caleb and Tanner

The first of May Tanner, Michael and Travis Jr. participated in the roadshow. Our ward did a remake of "High School Musical 2" - The boys were awesome singing and dancing. The Youngmen and Youngwomen's theme for this year is "Arise and Shine Forth" - There are 6 wards in this little town - was really fun to see ALL the youth and wards perform and SHINE!!

Makes me so happy to see those nephews doing well with their athletics all the while remembering the importance of their education and Young Men experiences. Really, couldn't me more proud and grateful for those good examples.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN A FEW DAYS!!

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
