We Finished The Book of Mormon

We started reading January 27,2008. We reflected on what parts were important to us.
Rick really enjoyed the story of Samuel on the wall. His heroes were Moroni and Nephi.
Dan's favorite story and Hero was Enos. I have to agree, I to love the story of Enos, the shortest book had the biggest impact on my life. It is just so powerful and concise. Eddie Ray's was when they talked about Christ and God. But were very excited to be starting the Doctrine and Covenants tommorow.

Last Day of Fun Before School Starts

Rick Dan Danny & Eddie Ray hit the Frisbie Golf Course for 9 holes.

Then off to the petting zoo. They still love those Chickens & Goats.
This bunny is so big! Reminds me of Marianne's bunnies Brownie and Cinnamon.

Aunt Dianne Visits the boys

The boys enjoyed a short visit with Aunt Dianne Monday Night. Eddie Ray is always so bashful around people he has not seen in a while.
Rick saved his money for 2 years and finally got his electric guitar. He has been so excited.

Happy Birthday Rick and Dan

The cousins love the video games at Godfather's. They all enjoyed good Pizza and lots of games.




After our very busy day at Godfather's and "the Falls" where they swam for four hours. Adam was exhausted. He looks so peaceful. I'm sad to see the 2 weeks come to an end. It has been so much fun. But I leave in a little while to take them all back.
