Rock Climbing Scouts

Bowen and the scouts from church went up by Globe Arizona for some camping and rock climbing.

In Douglas, Bowen and his dad got to ride up with Randy Robinson and Jesse Jones. Jesse spent most of the time bragging about how wonderful his cell phone is. It was cold and windy when we got there and Bowen's dad needed to call home, but Jesse wouldn't share his phone.

When I was un-nervous

Here is another addition to Alex's "Learning" book.

Family Reactions to April's Fools Day

This is how Eric and Alex reacted to me and Janette switching places. It's pretty funny.

Janette trying to be me

This is Janette trying to be me on April Fool's Day.

April Fool's Day

On April Fool's Day, me and Janette (our neighbor) switched places. Much to the surprise of our parents. It was fun, Eric made a big deal out of it, by saying that we had different smiles, and how we were trying to trick each other.... it was fun. The good thing was that it was General Conference so we didn't have to worry about pretending to be the other person too much. We had TONS of fun, I don't think this is something we are going to forget for a long time. And we were very grateful that our parents didn't completely freak out and call the police on us or something for invading their houses. But it was the best April Fool's Prank.

Alex Video Learning Introduction

Alex wants to do some videos of his "Learning" book. He asked me today we could make some videos. I was busy doing something else, so I told him that when he is 12 years old we could make the videos. He walked out of the room then back in and said "that is going to be THREE years!!!".

The next thing I knew, he had whipped out a couple of videos. I am going to upload them for him. You can look at these with young children who need explanations.
