Good - Bye Part 3

One of Cassidy's best friends left this morning to begin her service as a missionary.

She entered the Provo MTC ready to begin learning the Swedish language.

She is headed to Stockholm Sweden in just six short weeks!

Haley and friends headed to their spot...BJ's for a final get together before Madi left.

This group is shrinking by the week!

 Haley, Sarah, Madi, Kenzie, Katie

One last picture with Madi right after she was set apart.

She is now Hermana Rush... 

spending her first night in the Dominican Republic Santa Domingo West Mission!

Haley is next....13 days and counting!

Katie's Mission Call

A year and a half ago, Haley's wonderful friend Katie was baptized.

She was golden and it was a beautiful occasion to see her join the church.

She has been a strong and faithful member...

 serving as a Primary Teacher, attending Institute and Mission Prep Classes, 

speaking in Stake Conference and now as a newly called missionary!

We were honored to have Katie open her mission call at our home among family and friends.

Although Katie is the only member of the church in her family,

we were so happy that her family could be in attendance as she opened her call. 

 Katie with her Dad Joe and his girlfriend

 Katie with her sister Anna and brother Fletcher

 Katie and her Mom Mollie

President Robinson has become a wonderful friend and mentor for Katie!

 Katie shared her testimony and then...

 opened her call to receive her assignment...

Her story is miraculous and she will be a part of many more miracles in Calgary!

Happy Valentine's Day

Can't stop loving this Valentine's Day Card 

that Haley and her friends made to send to their friends serving missions.

Concert Time

Tonight was Bennett's orchestra concert at school.

The cello is his instrument of choice.

Bennett had a smile on his face the entire concert.  Every time a camera would flash, he would look at me in the audience and smile.  

We were lucky that Grandma and Grandpa were able to attend.

Aniston and Janet, two cute cousins that played in the 6th grade orchestra...

and just happen to be in our ward!

The four cutest boys in the orchestra...Vance, Tanner, Bennett and Trent.

After the concert, it was off to basketball practice.

I just love a well-rounded boy!
