Happy Anniversary

Gift from one of our missionaries.  

She also brought cookies to share. 

 Another missionary brought us a box of chocolates. 

 We serve with great people.

Went to Logan for the weekend.

Stayed at the Anniversary Inn,  in the Egyptian Room with Pharoah and Pyramids!

Ate here for dinner.  This is also  where we had our luncheon after our wedding 

Went to Fiddler on the Roof at the Eccles Theatre.  The play was fantastic.  

We sat up pretty high and the seats were very uncomfortable.  3 hour play!!!!

Inside the theatre before the play.

Attended the Logan Temple. 

 It started to sprinkle when we went in but was raining hard when we came out so no opportunity for a picture except from the truck.

Had lunch with the Rasmussens at El Torro Restaurant.  

Great Mexican food.  

Would recommend it to anyone who goes to Logan. 

Can't go to Logan and not get a famous Aggie ice cream cone! 

It was so cold.  BRRRRRR!

We were all shivering but the ice cream was sure good!

The rain cooled everything off.

We sure enjoyed visiting with the Rasmussen's.  What a fun family.  

We miss them but are so happy that they moved closer to our mission.  

We can see them more often but only if they come our way.

On our way back to Salt Lake we stopped and visited with Boyd's mother and

 also Nancy & Larry who were in Utah for the weekend. 

We had a great weekend!

Beautiful Tulips on Temple Square

This is a tulip on steroids.

This is our photo on our desktop

So Many Varieties of Tulips

May Visitors

Nancy & Larry & Terrell DeGrange came to visit on May 11. 

 The next week the tulips were pulled out.

We took Katelyn, Kaleb, Carter & Emma Rasmussen to lunch while Jody & Kirk went to the Salt Lake Temple for a marriage of Kirk's neice.  Stopped at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on the way to the food court.

Went to the Dinosaur Play Park after lunch. 

 This is a favorite place.

Another beautiful day on Temple Square!

Visited Mom Williams in Ogden 

 It was a beautiful afternoon. 

 We took her outside on the patio of the Aspen Care Center.

She reminds us of Queen Elizabeth with her hat.

What a cute lady she is!

Trip home to Mesa Arizona

Happy Birthday Todd

Arrived in Mesa in time to take Todd, Kalie & Kesslyn to 

Joes Bar B Q for his birthday dinner.  (Kalie took the picture)

Kesslyn is almost a year old. 

 We got our mission call a year ago on the day she was born.

She likes to suck her thumb just like her Dad used to do when he was a baby.

Visit Jeanna & Jason & Family

Went to Curi odyssy

Papa is trying to figure out how it works.  

Very curious!

The air ball machine.  

Very fun!

Curious observers!

Belmont Park

(a ten minute walk from Jeanna's place)

Papa pushed Sam for about an hour and Sam never grew tired of it. 

 He cried when we took him out.

Beach at Half Moon Bay

A windy and cold day at the Pacific Ocean

The  Eggers  favorite Mexican restaurant in Half Moon Bay.

 Jeanna wore it when she was blessed also.

She was very beautiful.

She was so good the whole day.  

April pictures

Our last housing adventure!

Elder & Sister Matthews, Elder & Sister Taylor (our replacements)  Elder & Sister Bruce Larsen are in the very back.  Our awesome Young Elders!

The truck is full of 5 drawer dressers.  Lots of  3 way light bulbs from Home Depot! (Forgot there were 2 lightbulbs per box)

We enjoyed getting to know some of the Young Elders.

This was an interesting apartment.  A curtain covered this space above the cabinets.   This is where the Senior missionary couple stored their Christmas decorations.  But they forgot to take this with them when they moved out.  We were surprised when we took the curtain down.   So we called Pam & Byde Fuller who just came the 1st of March and did not have any Christmas decorations.  

Now they have a Christmas tree, sign, lights, etc, etc, etc!  We were so happy they came and got all this stuff so we didn't have to take care of it! 

 Missionaries are so happy with FREE things!

More free things from the monthly SWAP MEET. 

 Missionaries going home donate the things they don't want and the new and not so new missionaries reuse it. 

 One man's trash is another man's treasure!

We have a lot of fun at these meetings.

April General Conference Sunday Morning Session

Byde Fuller & Boyd served together for 10+ years in the Mesa Central Stake as Clerk & Executive Secretary.  The Fullers brought Conference tickets with them for several sessions.  President Ken Smith sat in the section we were in since he got tickets from Byde.  Each Stake gets a few tickets for different sessions.  This is the first time that Byde ever took tickets for himself or family.  We really enjoy having them in our mission.  Very fun!

Singing in the Tabernacle

March 3 was our Stake Conference and we sang in the choir.  

Our Stake meets in the Tabernacle since our Stake Center isn't very big

Awesome experience!

What a gorgeous closeup!

We didn't sound as good as the Tabernacle Choir but we did get compliments!

Happy  #11 Birthday Katelyn

The Rasmussen's spent the night with us on their way to Nampa, Idaho.

They moved from Arizona to Idaho.  We ate at the Cheesecake Factory.

Katelyn got her ears pierced for her birthday.  

She had it done at City Creek Mall in Salt Lake City. 

 It was fun to be a part of this occasion.

    

 Food Court at City Creek Mall

Carter wanted to play at the same place that Jake played at while here at Christmas time.

  Very fun!

Emma had a very fun time also.

Kaleb found the last of our snow.  

We had snow from December 24, 2012 - March 13, 2013. 

Thanks for visiting us.  

We loved having you here. 

 Come again!
