Anniversary Poinsetta

7 years of Marriage

I always like our silly pictures better than the serious ones.  Celebrating our marriage.

Girls model new aprons.  Made by Rebecca for a MBASA Christmas Bizarre to sell.  I had several different material combinations in both kid and adult sizes.  A lot of work but fun.

Birthday at School

 Goodnight Annabelle Band

Our friend, Byron, is in the black shirt.  Goodnight Annabelle is his band.  He invited us to come hear them play.  A fun date night.  We actually got to know them because we taught them a temple prep class.  They were the sweetest couple and had an adorable baby boy.  Then they ended up inviting us to the temple for their sealing to each other and sealing to their son.  It was such a special day in the temple and I'll never forget the strong Spirit in the room that day.

 Caroling at the Delta Center

It was actually really cool to sing with this many people at once.  It was a free sing-a-long.
