April means Spring...right?

When most people think of April, they think early spring, Easter, or even General Conference. Well Mother Nature played a cruel April Fool's joke this year and it look like this....


This is a picture of our front door, pretty funny joke eh?

A lot has happened since the last time we updated our blog 6 months ago. In December Elizabeth finally graduated from BYU Idaho with her B.A in Social Studies Education. She was super excited to finish her student teaching. In a couple of years Dan will be done with his degree as well. He will graduate with an Accounting degree and then go on to get his Master's in Accounting and CPA. We will both be very happy when he is all done school.

Since moving into a new ward we have been given a new calling...sunbeam teachers. The primary in our ward is almost big enough to rival Reid and Lisa's ward, there are 4 nurseries and at least 2 of every other primary class. We have 11 kids in our sunbeams class and needless to say we are spent by the time we get home. Don't let their smiles fool you...






As most of you know we are expecting our first child in June and we are getting both excited and nervous for when the little guy comes. Here are a few pictures of Elizabeth over the last seven months....


This is at 4 months, 5 months, and 6 Months




Hopefully we will be a little quicker in updating our blog next time. That way you all can see pictures of our baby when he comes and not when he is a year old:)

Summer Fun


Some photos and an update.

Here are some pics from our summer and fall so far. We had a great summer. Dan worked as a landscaper driving tractors and such in Driggs Idaho. Ej started student teaching and can't wait to finish up her degree in December. Other wonderful news: We get to move out of our apartment to a much nicer place cuz Ej got the job managing a large student complex here in Rexburg! Enjoy the pics.

Auntie Ej babysitting her niece Shanny and nephew Matthew up at the McLendon's in Missoula! (Nice new place.)
We are getting ready to take on the river in some cliff jumping and tubing! (sweet summer beard eh?)

What was Jayden looking at? The river was a blast ya'll!

Dan and Shanny having one of Phil's delicious burgers before hitting the river on the tubes!



This summer was all about the golfing. Dan played in two golf leagues and got his handicap down to eight. Ej got some new clubs and has even beat Dan on a few holes.

Ej has a beautiful swing, and has only improved this summer! What a natural.

I don't know why I always end up in that fairway bunker. It is my nemesis. Pretty sure I still shot par on this one... or birdied... Ya, birdied.

When Merle came down she got into the golfing spirit too. She isn't half bad, Mother like Daughter I guess.

There is no better way to greet the day. Amen.



I had my first experience hunting. I went up to Salmon Idaho with my buddy CJ and we wanted to find a young buck we could turn into some jerky.

We got him, but only after I scoped myself in the forehead and nose. Ha ha, gotta learn somehow I guess.

Oh yeah, Ej has a new shirt...
