An Angel Amoung Us

We've all met people that have had profound impacts on us. And I think that everyone has had someone enter their life and make it better, without even trying.

I feel a great deal of Love for one of those very special people. I want to introduce him to you. This is Justin and we think he is just about the greatest thing under the sun.

I would wish for each of you to have a friend so sweet and true. He is Always fun to be around.
We watch football and basketball together. Once at a game he yelled "Devin, make your momma proud". Then he looked at me and just smiled. It was the cutest thing. He also calls to sing cowboy songs for us. Sometimes we put him on speaker phone and go about our chores etc. He just sings away, pausing occassionally to switch tapes. We love it. What a STAR you are Justin!

Tonight we had the opportunity to have Justin with us for family night. We frosted and delivered sugar cookies, had scripture study and did a little Karaoke. It was so fun having him with us. His happiness is contagious.

We are grateful for his genuine friendship. He is an angel. He helps me put perspective into my life. For us, being around him is like finding the Lords love in yet another unexpected place.

What a great book!

Great Grandma Anderson reading to her grandkids. How sweet is that!

Bailey took time to read an Easter book to the little girls too. Thanks Bay. What a sweetheart.

Aymree sure was happy about the book. Nice cousin bonding time before Amys and her family left for Washington. We miss them already!

The Wrestler

Weve had a whirl wind kind of month. We finished basketball and started wrestling and golf. Its pretty hard to take high school golf pics.(sorry Devin). But I do have a couple of Cole's wrestling pics.


No matter how he does he ALWAYS leaves the mat with a smile.
