Skate Night

Last night was the last skate night at Michael's and Nephi's school. They have had skating time with their classes but have never gone to skate night. So we went. The school has an amazing collection of very nice skates they keep well maintained. I think they are even better than the ones you would fine at a real skating rink.

Russell helping Nephi get the skates on.
Michael showing us what he can do. He thinks he is a really good skater.

Michael loves to skate. Just look at those rosy cheeks! I want to reach out and pinch them.

Russell helping Michael go really fast.

Two very tired boys. They had a blast last night!

Russell helping Nephi. Nephi has a little bit of a balancing issue going on. It got better as the night progressed.
This is how one looks after the helmet is removed. Sweat dripping down the sides of the face and flushed cheeks. Time to go home for a quick shower!

I knew the school had skates but I didn't know they were NICE skates until Nephi's class was skating during school on Friday. Then we took both boys back Friday night. We will definitely be going back when they have them during the upcoming school year. Skate night is an hour - which is about all the boys can handle anyway.

I just love this picture! The beach...it's the place to be!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
