Ike's mission Salta Argentina

We are getting so excited to talk to Isaac on Christmas!  He has been out 6 months and is having the time of his life serving the people of Argentina and spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We pray for his safety daily (he's been robbed a couple of times) but he truly loves the people and is having some neat experiences.  Here's a few of my favorite pictures.  The weather has been really rainy and is getting really hot.  You can see him sweating in some of these pictures.  Summer is just beginning!

Adam Graduation & Birthday

Well, where did the last 18 years go? We are sure proud of this great kid (now man). Graduation was a busy weekend with lots of family in town and his birthday the following weekend. We failed at getting pictures with everyone but this first picture kind of says it all.  This is his "senior pic"  This is in the year book (practically a half page feature) and is what we used for his announcements.  Funny boy Adam refused to have senior pics done and planned this from the beginning of the school year when they were taking school photos for school IDs.  To say Adam is a ton of fun is an understatement. He makes us laugh everyday with his quick wit and fun humor.  He's planning to go to BYU-Hawaii this coming January. We are happy to have him home for a while longer while he works to save some money for school.  We all love our wonder boy Adam.
