HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANDREW!!

On the day you were born, you were automatically loved by your brothers, sister, Mom and Dad, and  we have found that everyone who comes in contact with you, loves you....even teenage girls.  (Which still happens to be the case!!)

But then again, how can anyone resist such charm and good looks?  

We love you Andrew and are so grateful you came to our family, to keep us on our toes and constantly entertained.  THANKS!!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FABULOUS SON!!!  

Nathan's Japan Trip

Nathan had the opportunity to go back to Japan, mostly to visit people from his mission, but also to see parts of the country he couldn't see while serving his mission.  He was there for 3 weeks and had a blast, and is already making plans to return again, this time to hike and camp.  

Here he is with the Bishop and his family from Hakodate, he served here for almost a year. (beginning, middle and end of his mission)

Here is is old mission bike, he gave it to a new convert who still uses it.

Solo & Ensemble Competition for Andrew

On Saturday, Andrew participated in the Middle School Solo and Ensemble Competition.  Here is a little snippet of his performance.  I always love to hear him sing, so it is hard for me to play for him also, as I usually get a little emotional, I think I did well too!
