Father-Son Camp-OUT

Samuel and Owen had a blast at the ward Father & Son Camp-out up at Rollins Lake. Samuel said there was a good turn-out, lot's of laughs during the Guess-Who Father & Son slide show, and a terrific breakfast. What a great opportunity for the brethren to bond as members of the Priesthood!

When they were Young: Father-Son Camp-Out

For the Father-Son Camp-out we were asked to provide the youngest photos of both the father and son for an evening slide show presentation. I had a great time picking through my favorites, and finally settled on the ones below.

Samuel said the shot of Owen (on the right), got big laughs!

Here's a brand new Owen:
Just born and on the scale!
He's not one bit happy about it either!

Such is the life of a new baby:
Sleep, sleep, sleep!

And here's my sweetheart at 6 1/2 years old.
He's about the same age as Isabella & Ava!
It's hard to believe that the boy in this picture is all grown up with a wife and 5 children!

And here they are today.
Two of the most influential men in my life. Soon they'll be joined by a third.

I can't wait!

Butterfly Kisses Father & Daughter Dance

On February 28th the girls were escorted by their father to a very special evening, entitled "Butterfly Kisses", at their elementary school. Isabella was thrilled, Ava a little reluctant-at first, and Dad was the complete gentlemen.

Mom's contributions were in the form of refreshments: Lemon Squares & Butterfly Cupcakes. When I took them in and got my first peek at the decorations I had to admit I was a little jealous! The PTC created a truly magical setting for this special event.

There was lot's of dancing and games, and by night's end they were all warm and flushed after all the excitement. It was definitely a night to remember.
