Karate, derby, and Branson Missouri!

Kenny walks in Daron's footsteps and breaks his first board while belting up!

 
And the derby car adventure is made possible by UNCLE STERLING and his cool tools!!

 
 
Spring Break -- Branson Missouri! Fun road trip, good weather, cool shows!

 
 




 
Pastor Ron at Country Faith Cowboy Church taught us: “How much do ya’ll love this show? Or church… or whatever. If you want to join or keep us alive on the internet, just send us $!  I’m retired military, and not politically correct at all.  John 4:7 says let us love one another, for love comes from God. My God tells me to love you, not behead you – Radical terrorist Islam is an invitation to hell!”


Kassie's Young Women's New Beginnings ~ she's growing up!
 
 
 
Fun going to chaperone the Stake dance... Steevie dresses up with his buddies!

 
Kenny loves drums with RJ and Stefan!


Family Home Evening, everyone doing a "no porn pinky promise"; Geneve was happy to get in on it
 
 
Sterl finishes his marathon, and Daron earns a billion tickets on an unlikely shot at Itz!

 
Thank heavens Mom comes with me on site visits to rough parts of town with her scary gun

The Chalk family comes to play!

We loved hosting Daron's siblings/families and parents recently... swimming, eating, playing, talking, gaming, not sleeping, more eating, fishing, hammocking, rip-sticking -- what FUN!!
 
 
 
 
 

 
The cooking and laundry never stopped!!
 
   
 
 
 




 


 


 

 



 




 
Quite the "shockingly" fun new game from Mark & Shelley!!


 


 

 

New adventures each day...


I got a glimpse recently of what heaven will be like... I met Mom, Jenny, Kassie, and Stephanie at the temple to do a session together. I was the last one to arrive, and when I walked into the dressing room, all 4 of them were standing there in white, waiting for me. It actually took my breath away to see them there, with their cute happy smiles. What a blessing to have great family.


The boys love doing scouting activities! 
 

 
 
 
When did Kenny get so tall? Here's his 3rd grade school pic. He got to put a warm fuzzy in the primary jar, and said "I made my mom breakfast"
 
 
 Love this girl! Here she's enjoying some surprise flowers someone dropped off to her with a note saying "Kassie, you're GORGEOUS!"  She's a cutie. We were talking about food recently, and she said, 'So what is a brisket? Is it like a biscuit but meaty?'
