Where's Waldo

We went to the mall and played "Where's Waldo" for young Womens. We had 8 adults dress up in disguises and hang out in differant places at the mall. The girls would have to find each person and ask them "Where's Waldo?" then they would get a puzzle piece, after they got all of the puzzle pieces we met at the fountain, they had 1 hour to find all of the Waldo's.
Brad was so excited when they asked him to be a waldo, he likes to do things like that.



Brad

 I had 4 girls in my group, It was fun to watch the girls get up the courage to ask "Where's Waldo" They weren't sure if they were asking the right people sometimes and they were kinda shy, I would encourage them to go ask but they would push each other forward and try to get somene else to do it. Some of the disguises were pretty obvious and some of them blended in with the other people at the mall.
It was a fun activity, the girls loved it!

HaPpY BiRtHdaY Brandon!

Mothers Day

I had a wonderful Mothers Day!
 My Family made me Breakfast, I Loved hearing the primary children sing in Sacrament. I Got beautiful Yellow Roses, fun treats and some Scentsy refills! and I didn't have to cook lunch or dinner today! I have the best family ever!

We got to Skype with Bradley.  What a great Mothers Day gift! He's doing really good. He looked strong and healthy. It was awesome to hear him speak in Portuguese. We love hearing all of the stories and having him tell them to us, (Much better then email) I miss his voice and personality soooo much! It's fun to hear His laugh and expressions. He has an accent and it's so cute! We got to ask lots of questions and he told some great stories. I Love and miss him so much!! But I couldn't be prouder of him and I know that he is where he's supposed to be. I Love to hear his Testimony grow each week as he is experiencing new things.

Fun Weekend in Leeds

We went to Leeds for the weekend, (it was so nice and warm, nice to get away from the cold) We got to go listen to Cody's farewell talk at the church and spend some time with him before he enters the MTC next week. It's always nice to spend time with Lyman and Cody they are great friends. We will miss having Cody on our hunting trips this summer, but look forward to spending time with Lym.

Cody's Farewell

The boys all went out shooting on Saturday afternoon and had a great time while Brookelyn and I spent time with my Mom.

On Saturday evening we went to St.George and had Dinner With Mark and Linda. They had the missionaries over for dinner and it was nice to visit with them. One of the missionaries was in St.George waiting for his visa to come and then he is going to........ Maceio Brazil! yes the exact same mission that Bradley's in. It was so fun to tell him some of the stories that Bradley had written home about. I had my laptop with me so I showed him all of Bradley's Pictures, I hope his visa comes soon, I think seeing the pictures and hearing the stories got him excited to get there. His Name is Elder Whitaker, he's on right with the blue tie.


Making fun of Bradley's short tie that we saw in the pictures.



I'm showing them pictures of Maceio on my laptop.

Thanks to Mark and Linda for sharing the missionaries with us. It helps when I'm missing Bradley!



Troy Scott Sullivan

We will miss Troy, He was a great friend, we have lots of fun memories growing up with him. He could always make you happy and when you were with Troy you were always laughing, he was a happy, loving friend. I know that Troy is free from the pain of cancer and that he is happy, I am greatful to know that I will see him again!

Happy Birthday Bradley!
