tessa's shoes

Look at these adorable sandels that Tiff made for Tessa! They are made from felt and a glue gun! Tiff's getting crafty in her old age!!! Trouble is, is that she probably can't wash them! But they sure are cute!!!

Dan is an AMAZING young man!

As you know, Dan went to Sweden to the World Jamboree. The contingency just had a follow-up fireside for parents and families. Had I known it would be so cool, I would have invited the whole family to come and watch your "little" brother in action! Dan was pretty impressive as he conducted the meeting. He conducted that meeting as well or better than I've seen a lot of bishopric members around the church conduct sacrament meetings! I was very proud to be his mother as I watched the way he took charge of that meeting and conducted himself as well. We are so grateful he had this experience! Here's a few pictures of Dan and some of the leaders he was involved with. They have each, separately told me how impressed they were with Dan's leadership ability and what a great job he did as the contingency president.

Good to see that Dan and Pres. Dahlquist are still not smoking!!!

Dan and Bro. Foester...a man with an unbelievable amount of patience!

Dan and Bro. Floyd Hatch. Dan loved him! He was Dan's mentor

and the leader he served under.

Bro. Lyle Elmor. It was so sad...Bro Elmor ended up not being able to go to the jamboree because of health problems that developed in about April, but he was very involved in all the planning. He was Charlie's 9th grade seminary teacher and has been a hero of his every since!

Indy Heaton went to Sweden as well. He's grown up quite a bit and it a really cute, nice kid!

Get psyched...Senior!!!

Dan's off to his Senior year in High School! It's hard to believe that my baby is that old!!! He is in for a great year...Senior class officer, DECA and FBLA and all the other stuff that goes with being a senior! Have a blast Dan...you'll never get it back!!!

Jeff got his White Coat!

You're official now!  Congratulations Jeff!  (now we know where your kids get their cheesy grins from!!!)
