Take your son or daughter to work day

At our office, we changed it from "Take your son or daughter to work day" to "Take your family to work day." It's a lot of fun.

Uncle Jerry as a child

I found this photo. I thought it was Dad but it was Uncle Jerry in 1969.  Who does he look like?

Dad's mission

Dad received a letter from the daughter of a woman he baptized on his mission, thanking him for changing her life. She enclosed these photos of her mom (in the Mickey Mouse hat) and of Dad when they met 35 years ago.  Look how hot Dad was. :)

The Pool is Open

This year we decided to use the solar cover like it's supposed to and all on it's own, the pool reached 67 degrees so on Thursday we turned the heater on to 78. Last night, Friday, we swam. Kaylee was the first one in.  (The pool is really blue but when I used the flash on the camera, it looks green.)

 If Kaylee can do it, so can Tanner.

 and Bradley and Deitrick.

Dad works hard to get the pool ready for us to play. Thanks Dad!

Then Sunday, Emily came over and everyone swam:

 

Alyssa and Clayton come to visit

Clayton and Alyssa came to visit for a day and we loved it.   They are so cute!

Tanner's Patriarcle Blessing

May 6th, Tanner had his Patriarcle Blessing. Here are my handsome boys outside Patriarch Halverson's house.

Mormon Mafia

Tanner and Kaylee are participating in a week long, "Mormon Mafia" activity.  For one week, they are trying to hit people, with squirt guns, while avoiding getting hit.  There are rules, like not in buildings, not during school or church hours, etc. Once you are hit, you are out.  They are hilarious as they go outside, looking behind bushes and around corners. But tonight, when they left for the dance, I became a little concerned.  I'm afraid they are taking this a little bit too serious.  What do you think?
