Trials of Teenager

Dear Family,

I know that we're in a little different state of life then everyone else, but let me tell you- trying to live the gospel standards with teen's is challenging.   And bless their hearts, they're doing an amazing job.

Brant's BIG football playoffs were supposed to be on Saturday- and it was HUGE because they were having them in the big college football stadium. Tonight we got word that they moved the games to Sunday.  Nothing is worse then seeing your son cry, because he knows that Sunday's  are special.   There weren't any arguments or complaining, just a few tears and lots of Hugs.

If any of you have stories of how living the gospel has blessed your life, we'd love to feature them during our next FHE.  Their is strength to be gained from hearing about other people that you know and how they've chosen the right... 

And maybe if you happen to be talking to Brooke or Brant or Alex, would you let them know that they are doing a good job?

Thanks.

Jen

Family Reunion Video

Per Mike's request, I compiled the family reunion photos into a video. Mike and I didn't plan ahead enough to get enough footage for another injuries/fights/insanity video like we did last year, but hopefully you'll enjoy this one. Thanks to all who took/contributed photos!

More Family Reunion Photos!

Just wanted to quickly let everyone know that Alisha and Jen have both uploaded family reunion photos to the Dropbox folder I shared with everyone. If you need me to send you the link again, let me know. You should all definitely check them out as soon as possible - there are lots of cute photos (and videos!) of the kids!
