What a wonderful thing it is that Olivia was born to faithful parents within the covenant of the sealing power. We are profoundly grateful.

Older than Dirt

Our kids frequently remind us that we are really, really old fogies. Six years ago, to celebrate my 50th birthday, they made a video which included a few things, though they were really hard to find, that were older than Dad.

While on a business trip to Monterey, California, recently, I found a t-shirt which, once and for all, pointed out that I am indeed pretty ancient. It puts everything into perspective.

My kids like to equate my age with that of dirt.  But I'm really older.

Actually, in the eternal scheme of things, this is the absolute truth. :)

Holly on Stage at Taylor

Thursday, we gathered at Taylor Jr. High to hear Holly perform with the Treble Cleffs chorus. We continue to be amazed at her musical talents.

Holly's friend Kylie isn't always this glum - but we did like the expression on Holly's face!

Happy Birthday Eve!

We celebrated Eve's birthday a few days early with pizza, crazy hats and family in Countryside Park near our home.  Eve loves to dress up, so we all wore crazy hats to help her celebrate.


Eve and Nemo

We ate Little Caesar's Pizza, which seems to go hand in glove with Countryside Park.

Eve had great fun opening her presents. She received lots of new clothes, new hats and dress-up costumes, which she loved.

All the new headgear had to have a turn!



Thoughtful Eve

Devlin was close at hand to help Eve whenever she needed it.


Bro and Sis



It's time to go ... all dressed up in a new swim suit, complete with gold lame sandals, new water bottle, cabbage patch doll, sun glasses and the old standby Nemo hat!

New clothes!

Happy Birthday, Eve!
