Happy Father's Day!


I'm so glad when daddy comes home, glad as I can be! Clap my hands and shout for joy and climb upon his knee. Put my arms around his neck, hug him tight like this. Pat his cheek and give him what---a great Big KISS! Today we sang that song in primary and it brought back memories of singing that song when I was in primary. I'm so happy to have been sent to righteous parents who worked so hard to have a gospel centered home. The early morning scripture study---Family Home Evenings singing "Love at Home" every single week (we never fought or argued, did we?), seminary music Dad always played in the car as he drove us to school. I appreciate all of that even more now that I am a parent--it's hard work! You made it look so easy, being a great Father must have come natural. Hope you have a wonderful Father's Day!!!!

Hawaii

We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and were very surprised to see David moonlighting as a dancer--first male on the left. We had a great time sipping yummy frozen drinks from pineapples.


Bruce and Mylese were fun travel companions and we made it to and from Hawaii--flying stand by. We were the last to make it on the flight leaving Honalulu when an older gentleman never made it back from lost and found and his wife did not want to leave without him. A mini-miracle. A HUGE thanks to Rosalia for staying with our 5 entergetic children!

More pictures with the Fowlers







Fun with the Fowlers

Cooper and I had dinner at Prisca's with the Fowler clan. It was great to see everyone. It took Cooper a little while to warm up---but once he did he had fun running around with his cousins.














Easter

Saturday after our Branch Easter Brunch we headed to the Chicago Temple. It was our Stake Temple day and we realized we hadn't taken our children to the Temple grounds since moving to Indiana. We walked around the temple and even "touched" the Temple as was suggested by one of the speakers in General Conference. It was cold but we were glad we made the trip. Sunday we attended church and I had the opportunity to speak in Sacrament Meeting.









Field Trip with Brinley

Brinley had a field trip to the city with an architectural tour of some of the buildings. We had a great time.


Warming up---a little





The weather warmed a little in March so we went for a walk down to the Lake. Bridger and his friend Blaine found sticks which they decided were guns so that they could be secret agents keeping the world safe from villans.

Stephen & American Girl of Chicago

Stephen came to Chicago for a conference and we came into the city to see him. The weather was rainy and windy, so we walked around Water Tower Mall which has the famous American Girl store. I know it was high on the list of must-see attractions for Stephen! It was great to see you Stephen!


Field Station Rodeo

Bridger was able to show off his cowboy skills at his Pre-school rodeo. Here he is with his pal Nick. I think he was the best with his lasso. Yee-Ha
