my parents are serving another mission - this one is a little different because it's only for 4 months and they work 4 days a week with a 4 day break. they are serving in cody, wyoming. so en route to the wild frontier ;), they visited with us for a day and then visited sister so that my dad could meet his newest grandchildren. i am proud of my parents and admire their willingness to spend so much time in the service of others. i know our family is richly blessed because of their sacrifices of time and resources in spreading the gospel message. we love them!

we had a nice visit {though short!} from nat and the kids friday night...nat's been crazy busy getting her home ready for guests, so we appreciated just being able to say hi and snap a few pix. stryker loves his family!!!

i have been really missing the sacrament each week, so i decided to do something i probably shouldn't have done - stryker and i attended sacrament meeting with eric. stryker was awesome and slept in my arms the entire meeting {until the closing hymn when the organist decided to blare us out of our seats!!!}. it was SO NICE to attend that meeting. i really needed it. and since stryker's clothes consist of onesies, sweats, and sleepers, i made him a little sunday onesie fit for church. :)

e has been extremely busy at nationwide and with speednut. he is building an enclosed trailer for one of my brothers {i'll post pix soon} and keeps busy fixing several of our neighbors' cars. he also built some gates in there too! :) he is an amazing man - so willing to work hard and provide for us!

i started indexing - it rocks! - whilst holding stryker during his naps. it's nice to have something easy to do - with one hand - that i know is making a difference in the lives of others.

our lives our full and richly blessed!
