Scout Truck Wash

Yesterday the 28th of February the scouts and cub scouts washed the trucks at P.U.D. I don't remember what it stands for - it's our electric company. Every year we wash their trucks a couple of times. They give us a check for $300-$400 and it's divided between the scouts and cub scouts. The money goes towards summer camps so the boys can all go. And it teaches the boys to not be slothful in their cleaning efforts. :)

Chris' picture didn't turn out super well. I should have done his picture somewhere else. He had fun with the big scrub brushes.
So did Michael. He will be 8 in April and will be able to go to cub scout day camp. So - I had him help. He loved it. He told me he loves earning money.
Donovan on the other hand is officially a teenager and did not like being there. I was somewhat disappointed in his work ethics. He used to work harder and faster. It must be the age thing. That's all I can think of...

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.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
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!
