Latest with Us

A couple of weeks ago we went up to Logan to have dinner with Spencer's mission president and his wife.  It was great to have Josh and Liz join us.  Spencer was really excited to see President and Sister Anderson.  We were just as excited to meet the people that had taken care of our Spencer for two years in the Philippines.   7-17-08 0067-17-08 005   7-17-08 002 7-17-08 007

After dinner, Spencer, Kristi and I went over to Josh and Liz's place to play games.  Josh disappeared.  Later, the "Ninja" was poking his head around the stairs.  It was hilarious!

We've all been on separate vacations this last week.  Nathan went to Lake Powell with a few friends and stayed on a houseboat (we don't have any pictures yet from Nate's trip).

Spencer went on a cruise to Mexico.

We went to St. George to see The Sound of Music and Les Miserables at the Tuacahn Outdoor theater.  They were both fantastic!

School, School, School!

We haven't written anything lately because Dave is crazy busy.  He has decided to go back to school and get his Master's degree.  He should be done in about a year and a half.  Each course is condensed into six weeks, so he has a ton of homework.  We have renamed the office; it's now the Dave Cave!

Nate and Spencer are back from a scouting trip to Teton High Adventure Camp.  They had a blast canoeing, whitewater rafting, etc.  They are both planning to go back to school in August.  Spencer will earn his Associate's degree this December, and Nate will get his Associate's in May. 

No way am I going back to school!  Not now, anyway.  That's all for now.

High School is Over

The Bench is Back!

Kristi and I love to “bench it” when the weather is nice. A much needed board replacement took the bench out of service for a while. After cutting, drilling, sanding, priming and painting, the bench is back in its place in the corner of the yard, just waiting for people to sit on it. It didn’t have to wait long as you can see. There’s nothing like sitting out there in the evening doing nothing.  Until the skeeters come!

Here are a couple of views from our bench.  The Korean lilac tree smells so good right now while it’s blooming.

Josh and Liz are Married!

Josh and Liz were married Wednesday, April 30, 2008.  We had the most perfect day.  From the sealing to the reception, everything was great.  Most of our extended family were able to come and share the day with the happy couple.  Here are lots of pics.
