PVTH Buddies

A couple of weeks ago we went to St. George and met up with the gang from PVTH. It was so good to see all of you. We had a great time catching up. It was good that Dennis and Anita came down from Spanish Fork. Can't wait til the next rendezvous!

Adventures in Running

Since I have been out of commission as far as running goes, I have enlisted Craig and Addy to do proxy running for me. They have both competed in 2 races since I've become spectator.




They ran the Run for Kids in St. George with my parents on April 12. Craig won 3rd place in his age and got a medal and gift certificate to Irmitas! I was so proud. Addy struggled to finish her 1K (she is not a morning person) but completed it nonetheless with support and encouragement from Nana and Papa.


They also ran at the Anthem Days here in Phoenix. Addy needed some encouragement for that one too...she tried to beat up Craig a the end.

Important life events...

The other day Addy woke up and said in her sleepy voice, "Mom, get the camera." I asked her what she wanted me to take a picture of and she said,
"After I finish my cereal, I want you to take a picture of me sipping my milk."

So here it is, Addy sipping her milk :)

Another Addy Quote

While Addy and I were watching The Lord of the Rings, she asks:

Addy: "Dad how did they get to be such good fighters?"
Me: "They practice."
Addy: "No Dad, they exercise."

I guess I should exercise so that I'm ready when some punk tries to start something with me on the golf course.

Hope Smiled:)

I went to get a repeat of my 3D ultrasound today because last time the little stinker wouldn't show her face. But she made up for it by smiling at us. I think she's so cute and we can't wait until she's born!

We miss you Uncle Braden!!

This is our tribute to Uncle/Elder Braden, serving in the Ukraine, Donetsk mission. Braden has been out for almost a year (in June!) It's gone by fast, but we miss him a ton!!
Braden, Addy prays for you every day. She usually prays that you will come home...she says, "thank you for Braden, that he'll come home from his mission." 2 years is too long for her to comprehend, I think.
We're keeping track, Braden! 436 days to go! We're so proud of you. We know that the work you're doing is so important. Thanks for your example and hard work. Keep it up!!!
Love,
Craig, Aubree, Addy and Hope (only 2 more months until she's here!)

Dear Braden,
I miss you Braden. I love you Braden. I want to go to the temple with you. Kaely is waiting for you. I say my prayers for you, Braden. How is speaking Spanish, going well?
Love you,
addy
