President Hinckley

We were surprised to hear the news that President Hinckley past away last evening. He is such a wonderful man and I'm sure that there was a celebration in heaven. I'm glad that he is with his wife once again. We are sad with the loss of such an incredible man.

For our older children, he is the only prophet that they have known. Tyler was glad that he was able to go to General Conference in October and see him on the stand. Living in Utah we have heard allot of tributes and stories that I had never heard before. All that I keep thinking is what a wonderful man. We will try to remember him as best as we can and teach Kevin about him.

There were two days of viewings and many people went. On the day of his furneral (Saturday, Feb. 2nd) There were 23 weddings at the Salt Lake Temple, all went well. The weather was cold but beautiful. He is buried in the Salt Lake Cementary where he is the 11th of the 15 Presidents buried there.

We'll miss you, President Hinckley.

More Snow

Yes, we have had more snow and more on the way. I really don't like this much snow. Sure a white Christmas is great, and sleding is a favorite of the kids, but enough is enough and it's only January. Here are some pictures of the hill in our front yard. When we shovel the driveway we add to the pile.

We Start Them Out Young

We got a ton of snow and when the sun came out I wanted to start the shoveling. So I bundled Kevin up and took him out. Yes I did, and he laughed and loved it the whole time. I got a fourth of the driveway shoveled while he played. When his hands and nose got cold. I took him inside and he went to the door and cried to go back out. Maybe tomorrow. Rick and Tyler actually finished in the afternoon when Kevin was having a nap.

He's Walking

Kevin finally put it all together and started walking. We are so proud, I think.

Kevin's Latest Game

For a while now Kevin has watched from the sidelines, but we have found a way for him to get in the game; and boy does he have game.

A Toast to the New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!!! We had a fun night at home playing games and watching TV.
