The Engine that Brian Built

Brian spent many hours, some late at night, rebuilding the engine on our 1998 Ford Windstar with 204,000 miles. Pops and Alec lended a hand when it came time to actually put it in the van. It will probably last another 10 years. He really takes care of his vehicles. The inside of the van is immaculate and there is nothing wrong with the outside. I consider myself lucky to have such an industrious husband!

Fun at the Lake

Greers Ferry Lake finally went down enough for us to go have fun. The water was so high under the narrows bridge that Brian could stand up in the boat and touch it. Jaydan was a little afraid of tubing this year, but Brian finally talked her into it. She loves riding on the boat, though. I realize there are no pictures of me, but I was the one taking the pictures. Maybe next time. I know everyone wants to see pictures of me skiing. (LOL)

Swimming lessons

School is out and we finally got to start swimming lessons! Jaydan's primary teacher is her swim instructor and she knows 2 of the other children in her class so she is very comfortable. She is doing great!

And of course, there is time for a little fun with friends after the lesson!

New Bishopric

I did have a slight lapse in blogging for a while, so I am trying to catch up. On April 13, our Ward sustained a new Bishopric. My amazing husband was called to be the second counselor. We had been having a few trials in our lives and it was very humbling. It is such a blessing for our family and a wonderful opportunity to serve. I am striving to be a loving, supportive wife!

Brenda's new baby!

Jaydan couldn't wait to go see Aunt Brenda's new puppy. Jaydan absolutely loved Belle! The pics were taken with my phone so they're not the best, but still cute.

Another first for Jaydan

Today was Jaydan's first time to sing with the Primary in Sacrament Meeting! It was such a precious moment and brought tears to my eyes. Brian, Jaydan, and I visited the Moms after church and are finally home. It has been a good day spent at church and with family.

New pics!
