The Best Two Years

Tim and Elder Rowley share a "special " moment.

A viSiT wiTh tHe NOrtons in AriZona

Here we are! Kelly and I posing with an Arizona back drop. Isn't it so very sunny and cheerful? So are the Norton's. Kelly was so gracious to take some time out of moving to have some lunch and show Danelle and I around their new home. Their home is so bright and cheery and has such a wonderful feel about it. I know you guys will love it there. Thanks for the grand tour!





Here are a few photos of some of the ladies being their cute selves:

Sorry I didn't get a picture of Emerson and Keith.

I want to THANK Keith again for traveling to my hotel and giving me a blessing Sunday night.  THANK YOU!

The Archer

Jackson borrowed our neighbors archer to move logs around the property. He spent all day Monday hauling logs. He has a very nice sized pile. Nice work Jackson!

Harrison's toofless grin

I was greeted by an ecstatic boy after Relief Society today. Harrison was holding a bloodied paper towel and wearing the biggest grin ever. The tooth that he had been working on all week (which wasn't even loose in the first place. I guess he was excited about the thought of a coin carrying fairy)was finally out.  Our good friend, Jimmy Collins yanked it out for him. Jimmy has a reputation among many for his tooth pulling ability. There is even a story floating around that Jimmy is so good, he yanked out one of his son's teeth during sacrament and his son didn't even flinch or need to leave the chapel. That is pretty impressive. Thanks Jimmy for making Harrison's week!

Jackson, glorious Jackson!

Jackson chose "Outback Steakhouse" for his birthday dinner. Nice choice. Jackson also chose to not cooperate for a photo (as usual) so here are all of his out takes. Nice choice!

Happy 14th Birthday Jackson!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Here are a few of our favorite photos of you. We love your energy and your fabulous smile. You have always been a boy on the go and you are now a young man on the go. We love the person you are.



Happy Birthday! Enjoy your song....




















Yes, you do love your cake.

Spring has sprung!

The Changing of the Guard

Why is this family smiling so big?





This is how he looks today, what will a year serving as Bishop bring?
