Karli's 16th Birthday!!!!

LOOK WHO IS 16!!

Karli turned "Sweet 16"
and we decided to surprise her with
her dear friend coming from Holbrook.

So we decided that we would take her
to Walmart for the surprise. Her friends
came into town and went there. We went
up there and she was only focused on getting
the stuff we needed and I kept wandering
through the clothing where I knew her friends
were hiding. Finally Kassi and I got
her to come and look at something
all of sudden she seen her friends and
the look of SURPRISE came over
her face.
Needless to say she had to look twice!

Karli, Julie and Emma best friends!

Awhhhh!! Mom, Kassi and Dad

Karli had made plans with some of her
friends to go to a movie and come
over to the house for home
made wings and games.

Well the movie had a small change
due to Karli getting her first
Red-Light ticket(on her birthday)

The kids all came over and we
had yummy wings and played games.

and Ravin trying to take it from him.

Nothing like a boy and his dog sharing the toy!

I don't know who enjoyed playing with
the toy more Kristopher or Ravin...
My guess they way they were playing it
was Kristopher that had fun.
It is a good thing that Kristopher loves
animals and is going to become a Veterinarian!

Our family how special they are to us. We have
had a lot of fun watching our children grow up
over the years. To watch their accomplishments, their
disappointments, their happiness and their tears. We have
had many happy memories and we have had
many trails in the last 25 years. But through
it all we have grown closer has a couple.

I am so thankful for Lonnie in my life and all that
he has done for me. I appreciate all the wonderful things
you have given us. Life with you has been
a joy, lots of fun, hard times, growing times,
making memories together. I am so very happy
to have him as my Eternal companion.
Happy Anniversary Lonnie!!
I love you!

FATHER'S DAY

Konner was asked to give a talk

in Sacrament Meeting on Fathers Day.

He told me that he would prepare it all

by himself. So as the week continue I

asked him what he was going to talk on.

He said mom I am working on it. So

the Friday before he brought his talk

to me. I was totally impressed that

he had did it all by himself. I posted

his talk below.

Lonnie and Konner on Father's Day.

I was asked to talk on father’s today.

My dad works as a Test Engineer at his job. He builds and tests air bags to make sure they work properly and are safe for the vehicles.

In our home my dad is the Spiritual Engineer. He teaches me by his example how I should live the gospel. He has shown me how I can engineer a testimony of Jesus Christ, by studying my scriptures, praying, paying my tithing, keeping a journal, attending my church meetings and preparing myself now to go to the temple some day and serving my mission. I know that as I follow these teachings my testimony will grow each day.

I am thankful for my dad he takes the time to teach me new things everyday and I love spending time with him.

Wow! I thought Konner did a wonderful job. I am so

thankful for Lonnie for all that he does for our

family and myself. He is a caring, loving and just fun

to our children and me. Thank you Lonnie for all

you do for us. We love you!
