Elder L.Tom Perry

On February 17th we were blessed to welcome Elder L. Tom Perry to our Stake Conference. The Stake chose our small women's choir to sing for the conference. It was AWESOME!! It was so neat to sit on the stand and feel his great spirit as he entered! It was also an amazing blessing to be able to sing for an apostle of the Lord. I had to really keep it together and not get emotional! I didn't realize until the day or so before that I would stay on the stand for the whole conference. That meant that Dustin was blessed to sit with all 4 children all by himself! It was a great conference!

Career Exploration Day

5th graders who scored well on last years state testing got to participate in Career Day in February. Although Dad was technically on R&R leave after his deployment he took Henry into work anyways. They did PT, learned about Dustin's job, played Chino, and had a great day just the two of them!

USS Alabama

With our house currently on the market I kind of need to keep it clean. Since Dustin had gotten home I hadn't been so diligent. I asked Dustin to take the kids away for an afternoon so I could get things back in order. He took them over to Mobile, AL to see the USS Alabama. They had a great time! It was much needed Daddy time and I got the house clean without someone coming behind me to mess it up again!!

Happy Birthday, Dustin!!

Dustin requested a visit to the cousins, complete with swimming, pizza, and cake, for his birthday on the 8th! We drove up to Montgomery to see my brother and his family. We went swimming at the local YMCA, we ate yummy pizza, and cake from Publix- YUM!! The kids had fun playing together and Ben and Emily entertained us with the flute and baritone. So fun!!

Boating with Dad

Boating on the Back Bay

One our favorite family activities is boating on the Back Bay! We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on the water. The kids went fishing, but we didn't have a bite. We had a wonderful picnic on the boat and really enjoyed having Dad back with us!

Making Pizzas

Although he hadn't slept in more than 48 hours the first thing Dad did when he got home was make pizzas for the kids! I thought he was crazy but he was as happy as could be!
