Started the Mission Paperwork

We hooked up with Benjamin in Provo the other day to get his mission stuff going. Our first stop was Costco to get a passport photo taken. Off we went to the post office to apply for a passport. Brooke was happy to see Ben when we got to their house.


We gave Brooke a new, pink bucket that day to use for storing all her toys. She wanted to put herself inside it instead, and Dallas started thinking about what a great sled it would make in lieu of the diaper box he'd used earlier in the winter to pull her around in the snow.


While connected to the internet, Glen got all of our son's information recorded in the computer and then Dallas printed off the papers for Benjamin to sign.


It has now all officially begun. Where in the world will he be called???

February Birthday Girls

Last Sunday was our monthly birthday dinner celebration. Rebecca was one of the honorees having a birthday in February. An honorable mention was made on Jeff's behalf--wish he and Sarah could have been here!! And my good old brother, Mark, should be happy to know he had an honorable absentee mention as well (he's always so worried he'll be forgotten)--as did Thadeus.

Rebecca was so happy that her Grandma made the dessert she had hoped for--Oreo cream pie--and heart-shaped, no less. What a great Grandma she has!!


Rachel was so cute that day because it was her actual birthday and she was so excited about it. Maggie was excited as well telling us her birthday would be in 11 days. She'll be 8 and will be getting baptized 2 days later.


We appreciate the effort Mom and Dad go to each month setting up the house, cooking the delicious food (yummy roast beef again this month!) and cleaning up their house after we leave.

Here's our February birthday girl standing by her Grandma. And here's proof that the girl is expecting baby #2 and has broken out the maternity clothes.


Can anyone tell just by looking at her whether it's a boy or a girl? The big reveal will happen soon...
