FINALLY A GOOD PIC OF RIVER!!

Rarely do I take a picture of my son where he is not pulling some weird face sticking his tonuge out or where he looks like he rides the short bus to school. I was very surprised to see this one pop up on my camera and thought to myself I need to share this one with everyone. See he can take a cute pic!!!

RIVERS BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION

River has gotten baptised!!! Yesterday February 23, his grandpa baptised him and today February 24, he confirmed him in Sacrament meeting. River was taught the lessons by Elder Laughlin from North Carolina and Elder Arrowsmith from Mesa Arizona. River has been taking the Missionary discussions for more than a month and accepted to be Baptised. During the each lesson River sat as patiently as he could and listened to the lessons while cracking jokes to keep the mood light. River was very excited to have sooo much attention and to be dunked in the water.

At Rivers baptism, Cassie gave the opening prayer, Sebastian gave an excellent talk on Baptism, Spence also gave an excellent talk on the Holy Ghost, Nichole gave the closing prayer, and Grandma Sher led the music. We were delighted to have so many of the ward members come and support River, they have been really great to us during this process. River and I would like to thank everyone for coming and sharing this special experience with us, it was amazing for both River and I.

IN MEMORIUM........PRINCESS JASMINE

PRINCESS JASMINE

Our amazing family dog of more than 16 years passed away on Feb 18, 2008. We got Jazzy when I was 16 years old, which still feels like yesterday. Jasmine used to go from bed to bed in the morning til the last person was out of bed and she had no option but to finally get up. She was dads shadow for years and would follow him

always.

Jasmine was the pet that finally stuck. Not the ducks, rats, gerbils, snakes, cats, or other dogs, our Jasmine. And even though she got old and stinky and lumpy we loved her still.

River says that she is now in the big dog house in the sky, waiting for us.

We love you Jasmine!!!!
