Some Great Times


We have celebrated Birthdays, (Chase at Austin's birthday) and Katies graduation the weather has been less than stellar, but the the great times with our family continues to warm our hearts.




Grandpa & Tanner shared a birthday party, while we had 3 boys in a tub in Vegas, and Grandma doing what she loves most: holding and loving her grand-babies.

The Rest of the Story

A special thanks to our families who take such great care of us in North Carolina.  After our call we received tickets to General Conference in Salt Lake during our all ready planned trip to the Masters.  So we flew to NC on Wednesday visited family, shopped, and on Friday we flew back to Salt Lake.  Dale & Colene allowed us to stay at their home (Thanks) and on Saturday afternoon we were able to be 2 rows back from the Nielson family as their father Brent H. Nielson (our former Stake President) was sustained as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy.
Then we flew back to North Carolina for the trip with my brothers to the Masters.  Quite the weekend, thanks Annette my travel agent and companion.  What a great April.

Our Trips back East one week.


The first week of April are two of the highlights of my life, first is General Conference, and the other is the Masters Golf Tournament.  This year my brother Don (red shirt) drew out tickets to the practice round on Monday, so he graciously invited his brothers to accompany him.  So Randy (blue sweater) and Kent (white shirt) and I made the trip.  It was a wonderful day, it rained on the way down, but once on that beautiful sacred golf course the rain stopped and we had a fantastic day.  Thanks Don, Randy, and Kent for making it a great memory to last 3 years.
