MY DAD

I was going through some pictures on my computer today and I wanted to post them. These are of my dad blacksmithing back in October. He is very dedicated to letting people experience history like blacksmithing, even if it is a very hot day. It is hard work! I've been able to blacksmith with him and it is fun to learn about it. I think he is a great teacher. I remember when I was studying something I would ask him a question and instead of giving me a simple answer, he would go downstairs and get me a pile of books to find it myself. I learned that finding the answers for myself is much more rewarding. I'm grateful my dad created an atmosphere in our home with books to read. Just a few days ago he found a book Chelsea really liked. She's been reading a lot lately. We are glad everyone in our family is so amazing!

Friends

We got together with Dontrell, Dane, and his wife Taryn last week. Dane is going to
be a part of the Air Force tomorrow. I was glad to see him before he left. He is a fellow missionary from my mission, we've always been good friends. He just got married to Taryn and she is just as awesome. Dontrell is also a friend from Houston who is going to
school now here in Salt Lake. We had a great time playing games and singing. We hope that we can get together soon. Since Dane and Taryn will be traveling around the world we'll just have to go where they are!

Our Photo Shoot :)

We had a ton of fun getting our pictures taken! We went with Travis and Cami
around the valley searching out cool locations for pictures. They got some great
shots, and we're glad we have updated photos of us! Thanks guys!
