Good Things to Come

Last Saturday Michael, Aiden and I ran into Elder Holland and his wife at the gas station here in Enterprise. His wife grew up in Enterprise and they were here for a family reunion. It was just him, his wife and 2 other people in the store. What a cool experience to shake his hand and visit with him for a bit - neat experience for the boys as well to speak to an apostle of the Lord - I felt his love as he spoke to us - what an amazing man - he is one of my all-time favorites!!!

Joseph, Angela, & Jake come to visit......

Loved catching up with Joseph(Trav's younger brother) his wife Angela and adorable son, Jake. We had a great visit with lots of laughs - we love you guys - really enjoyed our visit!!

.....catching up

We celebrated the 4th of July on Monday the 5th. The community put on a great program at the school in the early morning- fun runs at the park later on in the afternoon - had 4 familes over for a BARB-Q later that evening and enjoyed a firework show put on by my brother-in-law Brandon that night - fun filled DAY!!

Smiling really hard that these boys belong to my husband - wouldn't really call Trav the cowboy type. Loved the rodeo -something I always enjoyed attending as a young girl in Vale, Oregon. The boys had a great time - Tanner even caught a chicken during the games in the arena - doesn't get much better than that:)...when we arrived home Aiden had Michael's boots on - he really wants his dad to buy him a horse...:):)

Aiden and I went North for a few days and hung out with Trav while he was working - we played during the day and enjoyed having Trav to hang out with in the evenings.....Love that KID!!

June 13th-17th, 2010

Headed up North again to Provo, Utah. Dropped Travis Jr. and

Michael off at the BYU Football camp for 4 days. They had a wonderful

time. While the boys were at camp, Tanner, Aiden and I headed to Salt Lake

and stayed with Trav while he was on a business trip. We had a ball swimming

at the motel pool, visiting the aquarium, playing tennis, going to watch Shrek 4,

and just doing younger stuff that the older boys maybe don't enjoy as much.

Really made for some fun memories.

Shrek the Final Chapter

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
