Summer Pic-Nic!

I told Macie and Daniel to go out and play the other day they were being to crazy in the house, "But we are hungry!" They said. so I told them to make a pic-nic and go out! I Came in the kitchen a while later and found a note on the table of their Pic-Nic plan! So i had to go watch and snap a few shots of this!

It looked like they were having a cracker eating contest here!

Playing Tic-Tac-Toe!

Caught me taking pictures!

The End of a Chapter in Our Life.

I put this on Facebook but forgot to write about it on our family blog. On Sunday I was released as the Bishop of our ward. Bec and I have known for two weeks and I am so glad for that. I needed that time to decompress and prepare for the change. I was very excited for our new Bishop, Bishop Earl Keith. He is great and will be awesome! It has been kind of weird, in a good way, so far. Last night was my first Tuesday in awhile that I didn't do interviews. I still feel like I am missing something or someone every once in a while. It was such a blessing to be able to serve as the bishop! I love our ward and am so grateful for all the support and love they have given me as I served them. I got a new calling just after I was released. I am now the Stake Young Mens President. That will be a new adventure that I will have to learn. We are excited for the change. I should be able to sit with my family most of the time now! I haven't been able to sit with them for almost 9 years now. I am looking forward to that the most! Just wanted to share the news with you all.

Happy 18th Anniversary!

18 years ago today I married the love of my life in the Seattle Wa Temple for all Eternity!

The best thing I have EVER done! I love you Cameron! Happpy Anniversary!

Forever, Rebecca
