Brayden's Farewell

We had a great time at Brayden's farewell. He did a great job on his talk and our neighbor, James Smith, put together mission songs for the piano. He played, "I hope they call me on a mission and Called to Serve". It was amazing. We had a luncheon after wards that was great. All of my family and friends helped out and it was great food. My friend Linda made an amazing cake to look like an old book of scriptures and the temple. Brayden was so happy that so many people came or called to see him off. He can't wait to go into the MTC on Wednesday. This is a great week and a sad one, all together.

Brayden's Farewell

I can't believe it is already here. Brayden's farewell is Sunday, Oct. 19th. He goes into the MTC on the 22nd. He is ready to go and is getting his patriarchal blessing tonight. I am glad that he will be in the MTC here in Provo for 9 weeks. It gives me time to get used to the idea of having him so far away. I hope you all can make it to his farewell.

Family Pictures

We went up to Timp Cave and took family pictures. I threatened all my kids with their lives if they did not smile so we could get a good picture for the first time in our lives with Brayden before he leaves on his mission. We actually did it. There are still such things as miracles.
