Where the other boys are...

There is a really great family in our ward who helped us out by taking the three older boys today. I didn't know what kind of situation we would have at the clinic with Nephi and have these guys sitting at home all by themselves worrying. Anyway...
I go to pick them up and the dad says the boys don't want to come home tonight. They want to spend the night with his family. That was fine by me. They have a great time over there. I would think out of all the boys though - that Michael would be the one with broken bones. He likes thrills and speeds. Here he is figuring out how to operate a four wheeler. Not that he is big enough. But he does know how to start it and use the throttle with a grown-up steering. Hmmmmm....he (we) will have to start taking stock in the insurance company.

you keep mentioning "ward" so i looked it up and now have a better idea of what it is. very cool that you have families that are willing to help out. very cool (i think) that the boys wanted to stay the night. extra insurance might not be a bad idea. michael is the one with "the face" after all. his little brain is, right now, calculating what he's going to do when he's no longer too small to drive that thing. and "the face" is smiling that "i'm up to something" smile.

I'm so glad you have help. Love those ward families... Blessings to you and Nephi and the rest of the family for a speedy recovery and as few frayed nerves as possible. :)

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!
