Secret Mission

Hallie and I went on a secret mission today. We waited until everyone left the house and then we drove to San Antonio to visit the closest church bookstore and distribution center. It was Hallie's first time getting to see the San Antonio temple and my first visit during the day. It was a fast trip, but so worth it. We found and purchased a beautiful new set of scriptures for Mark's birthday tomorrow. The best part is that he will never even know we were gone.

We love Katie Herzig

Have you heard of Katie Herzig? She and her band are very small. In fact almost no one has ever even heard of her, but she's amazing. Songs like Forevermore, Hey Na Na, Wish You Well, Beautiful Inside and Sweeter Than This, make me just want to tap my toes. Check her out and find out why it was worth staying out with Austin and Caitlyn until after midnight on a school night, just to see her perform. Along with our friends the Bushmans we may be creating her youngest fans.

Austin's Dragon

Written by Austin: Our school had a 4th grade valentine box competition. I decided to make a dragon and with my mom's help this is what he looked like.

 He was chewing on a heart.

I won my class room competition and my dragon was placed along with a few other in the front of the school. The entire school voted on which one they liked best. Here are some pictures of the boxes that my box was going against.

Finally the day arrived when it was time to announce the winners. I WAS ROBBED! or at least that is what my mom thinks. First place was the Effiel Tower(17), second was the LT basketball hoop(19), third was the tank (6). It doesn't matter... I get to keep my dragon and I named him Norbert.
