Dave's Missionary Reunion

Dave was having a missionary reunion in Salt Lake on conference weekend. It has been 35 yrs since he was on his mission. They have a website on Facebook and he was able to see some of his old friends from his mission. The plan was to meet on Friday the 30th of March and attend a temple session then start the reunion later in the evening. So Dave and I headed out on Thursday morning, but before we even got out the door he had a call from a customer and he was to be at our shop at 10am with another customer and he wanted him there. Haha I said what day is that planed? Uh he said today! He said sorry but I need to be there. Long story short we never left Az till 3 pm! So we drove to Richfield Ut slept for 4 hrs and drove to the Temple. It was a long day but a beautiful day. When we got done with the Temple session we headed back to the stake center where the reunion was being held. They had about 250 missionary in attended. And they fed us as well! One of the missionary's wanted to serve us and he did a very good job. It was great to see Dave reconnect and reminisce  about his mission.

Love this Temple. The Salt Lake Temple is so beautiful.

This is a typical thing for Dave to be doing business before we go and do anything! I know work has to come first and then all will be well! There was a lot going on that day and from the previous day before we left!

The friend on the far right of David is Kay Richins. He is from Ut. One of Dave's really good friends. The other gentleman is Edward...can't remember his last name. He is from England. He was the one who mastered this reunion. Great man! Kay Richins said before he left that he told his son that you will make friends through out your life. But your true friends come from your mission and they will be your best friends for life. So true. I see that in my own two boys who have served missions and their best friends are the ones who they served with.

Jaylyn The Dancer

Jaylyn was invited back to dance at MCC (mesa community college) She danced a piece last yr and I missed it because Dave and I were on our cruise. So it was really neat to see her dance again this yr. She was in the Alumni group. She danced with some of the same dancers she danced with when she was in the dance group. I love to watch these performance. So she performed 3 nights. Dave and I went on a Saturday night and took Breken with us. He sat at least 8 performance before he got wiggly. So Dave took him out in the foyer to play with another little girl.

I know I may be a bit bias but this girl can dance. I love to watch her dance. You see how it lights up her face. She knows how to smile for the crowd and just perform. It's a talent she has. She might think about taking a summer class to dance?? We shall see. But I love my Jaylyn when she dances!!

We had to drain the pool and put fresh water in it this year. It was really weird to see it empty!! Dave was pushing some of the dirt down to filter out! Now we have fresh clean water to start the summer off!


Breken was having lunch with his Papa! He was helping him mow the lawn! What a big helper. He loves to ride on the lawn mower with David.

We had Jory and Brittney and Easton over for a visit before G-Grandma and Grandpa went back to Utah. I believe we can call them snowbirds now....hahah Easton is getting so big so fast! He is soo cute! So Grandma was trying to get her love tank full before heading home!

He is so fun to take pictures with! Cutest facial expression he does!

~Zoo~

It was fun to take Breken to the Zoo for his first visit! We had G-Grandma and Pa with us but I some how did not get any pictures of them with us. But Breken really had a good time. I love to go to the zoo it always brings back memories of when I was a kid and when I went on field trips to the zoo while I was in elementary school. We did not get a chance to see the bears and stuff. Breken was tired and Jaylyn and I knew when to go home!! But there are many more trips we get to make and even with Easton when he is bigger!!

Windmills~

I get memorized by these windmills every time when we go see Janica. I just love to look at how many are moving at the same time. I actually get excited to see them and then I know how far we have to go!!

Dave in Singapore

I felt it was important to remember that Dave went to Singapore I believe back in January or early February. He had a lot of fun and was able to bring some work out of his trip. He is working with a gentleman by the name of Peter Stonefield who works with Accuwright as a consultant get work internationally. Dave wants me to go with him in November. I am a little hesitant as the flight is 15 plus hours!! That just freaks me out!!! Dave was able to go to Malaysia to and visit a company there. He is a busy man. He is also planning on going to China here soon to. He is a much better flyer then me!

What Happend To February??

Really what happened to February?? It came and went! But we must of had fun with all the pic's I posted here. And I had a lot of them that I did download and hmmm suddenly did not appear...don't know what happened but enjoy what I have..

Is this tooo stinking cute!! Papa and the b-rek! We are getting ready to have family prayer and he was so good to fold his arms. He has a good Mama!!

This is what happens when your not quite old enough to sit still and listen to the lesson for Family home evening! Got to play with Uncle Jory's boot!! I seriously don't know what happened to the other pic's I had downloaded here. But I had the other kids and Grandma and Grandpa to. We get together at the end of the month for Family Home Evening. It has been fun. We all take turns doing the lesson.

We are here in California celebrating Miss Janica's 30th Birthday!!! Can you believe she is THAT old now!!! Ha Ha..I don't feel that old to have my baby be 30! And she don't look it either! We went to a farmers market earlier in the evening and then came to this area to look at the shopping area. Its just so pretty at night

Then we headed on Friday for her Birthday to Santa Monica Pier for the day! We had so much fun freezing!!! We left Pasadena with the temps being in the l0w 70's nice nice weather. Then we had lunch at a really neat place Cam found. And then headed to the beach. Then it was 54 degrees! WOW it was cold. At least for us that live in Az. But we just zipped up our hoodies and enjoyed the day!

Wouldn't you like a ride in the wheel barrel??? B-rek does and he loved it! G-Grandpa Wright was giving him rides around outside looking at the horses, goats and the barking dogs that don't phase Breken..good thing. What a nice day for a ride!

Big boys and their toys! Dave bought this helicopter in Singapore when he was there in January. Breken just loves to watch his Papa fly it out side!! What fun for the both of them. But the batteries die with in 5 min's haha

Is that not the most beautiful picture of the Tempe being built. And its right in my back yard that I can see it being built. Yep I know we are blessed.

Happy Valentines and Happy Birthday to Jaylyn!! My Valentines baby! Dave got these beautiful roses for Valentines. I know yes I am spoiled. Jaylyn had a great day to celebrate her birthday with the family for lunch. We went to Joe's B-Que in Gilbert. We all had fun! It was the big 25 for her this yr. My my how time fly's...she don't look 25 either and I don't feel she is 25. Happy Birthday my spunk of a girl! You are beautiful...

Again I had more pic's downloaded and don't know what happened to them but oh well. Here is Jory and Britt enjoying lunch

Jory and Brittney blessed Easton in February. What a wonderful day to bless him. The weather was so nice that day. Easton was so good through the blessing. Jory did a wonderful job on his blessing.
