Family Dinner at Michelle's house

 Nick asked me if I was going to Family Dinner.  I don't usually go, but hey I decided to go today.  I'm sure he wanted me to drive so I paid for gas and the drinks getting out there.  This is the only pic  We had good prime rib, corn on the cob, and watermelon.  It was super fun.  All of Michelle's family was there, Marlena and Nick and me. Mark was there when we arrived because he drove Marlena out to their house and he had to go to the airport.  Great time was had by all.  

Nick was busy most of the time playing hide and seek withTheo.  Brooks was super cute and Millie cried.  

This is McKenna's new van.  Fun fact, it was owned by Tony Finau.  Yes the PGA golfer that lives in Lehi.  She has Tony's wife's phone coming up in the car.  

Tony traded it in for a newer model.  This is a 2026 and he wanted a 2028.

Nick's trying to feel the vibe for his golf game.

AND the reason McKenna has a new car is she is having baby number 3.  She is 7.5 weeks!! and her other baby is only a year.  She'll be busy.  

Miracles upon miracles - Jack's email from Alaska

Holy cow this week was so blessed and I actually loved every single part of it. My mission president gave us a promise from a general authority who came to our mission who said "if you emphasize the book of mormon, in your interactions you will see incredible miracles. I can now say that is true, my companion and I have just put our heads down and straight to work. We have handed out 18 book of mormons in these last 2 and a half weeks. We also found a total of 8 new people to teach this last week. We have also been able to teach and testify so strongly with each other and its been such a good week. Anyways here highlights n all that 

Highlights: 

- gave a training during zone conference which is always scary teaching missionaries things im not very good at

- already went over our goal of book of mormons handed out this transfer. 

- my comp and I lowkey just goofballs and we have just enjoyed each other. 

Lows:

- cant lie couldn't think of one

Spiritual thought: 

Lowkey my spiritual thought is all of 2 Nephi Chapters 27-31 and how they all tie into each other. Testifying of the book of mormon and how that is proof of the one true church. The book of mormon is just soo powerful when we emphasize it to people and the spirit is so strong when people read it and really pray and ponder it with the right intent. 

Just to remember how cute he was in 4th grade

Abi Golf video

Found this golf video while looking through my google Drive. I am not sure if it is somewhere else, but it was fun to see Abi Golfing for Woods Cross High School many moons ago.  Look at that form.

She's the cutest

Golf League on Monday Night and Cute Dog

I had to go back to work so Michelle and I can't golf in our League on Tuesday Mornings.  We opted for Monday Night.  We went to Rose Park. Andrew wanted to come, and so did Nick. Those are the only pictures I got.  

I think Andrew is there behind Michelle.  

We opted to walk.  I decided to NOT feel good around hole two, and Brooke went and got me a cart from the clubhouse.  Talk about feeling old.   

 Brooke, walking like a beast, and 25 weeks pregnant.   She is the BOSS.

Great time was had by all, after I felt better.  LOVE them all.  

Brooke and Andrew did a bike ride the day after the golf.  Here's Brooke- pregnant-and having a 35 lb dog in the backpack riding the bike.  It is my bike however and I told her to wear a helmet.

First Day of School 2026

This is our Back to School pic. Same as last year and the year before.  We have No more students in public Education.  It makes me sad actually.  We haven't had any for 3 years...but still get nostalgic when I see all the back to school pics.  

this is my old pic from High school  I was in the Pep Club my sophomore year.  It wasn't one of my better moments.  

Here's some back to school pics over the years for me.

Nick getting on the Bus.  Brooke I think dropped him off because I had to work.  

Andrew and I played Timmie's mother today and got a Maverick drink.  Andrew didn't really want to hear about my day so we skipped that part.  The most important thing of Timmie's mother is the Treat.

Timmie's mother from 2016.  Brooke joined us for the Ice Cream sandwiches and chatting about school.  

Happy Birthday Andrew - 28 years old

 Andrew turned 28.  How did he get so old.?  We went to the HuHut for dinner. He choose it.  Maureen, Ty, Brooke, Lili and Andrew went.  Nick was hanging out with someone so he couldn't go.

It is a Mongolian BBQ place which surprises me Andrew likes it.  I didn't get any pics of it.  It was super great.  Lili posted this pics of Andrew.

Brody posted this

Here's a pic of Andrew and Michelle from Golf on Monday.  Andrew is behind Michelle..

We did have some ice cream and cookies when we got home.  Andrew, Lili and me.  Brooke and Ty live up by the HuHut so they didn't come over.  We gave Andrew his Booster pacs at dinner.  I didn't get pic of that either.

Andrew is a Great addition to our family.  He is hard working, funny, fun to golf with, hair do taker for Grandma, and shopper for grandma.  He takes great care of me too.  He takes the garbage out each week and cleans the kitchen. He is always willing to help me with something even if it is stupid.  LOVE him so much.  He is starting school again for his last year of his masters.  He rocks.

Holy blessed week - Jack's email from Alaska

Hello everyone this week was absolutely amazing, holy cow it was just such a good week. Pretty much w my last companion the work was pretty slow cuz bro was a robot 24/7 and then I get my old companion back and we start grinding immediately and we have seen so many miracles. Pretty much being in a ysa is kind of tough cuz you do a lot of finding for other areas so that has been trash. But we do whiteboard finding at the college with the sister missionaries who are also assigned to the ysa. So there were 4 of us and we get a group of like 10 people pulling up to us and start asking us for book of mormons and all this stuff. All 4 of us are teaching people like crazy and I think we handed out 10 book of mormons within like 15 minutes. Thats all I got from this week ,  we also put our friend Julian on date for baptism again. My comp pretty trunky since its his last transfer but I told him we are going to work hard idc how he feeling. We also go on diet coke runs like no other so we get along pretty well. 

Spiritual thought: 2 Nephi 26:33 

33 For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.
