Go Jazz!!!

It's been awhile since we've updated this but we sure have been busy. School, work, playing, there's plenty of all that in our lives to keep us going all the time. We just need to be better at putting it all up on here!

This past monday for FHE, Jeph had the idea to get two of his brothers and their girlfriends/fiances to join us and go to the Jazz game. It was a special family night deal they were having and each ticket stub could be redeemed for a free rubbery hot dog (Jeph's favorite). We had a great time together and the Jazz held their lead pretty much the whole game!

Wilson basement update

Ok, this is a little late but better late than never right? A few weeks ago we again headed up to Idaho for a weekend with the Wilson fmaily as it was Kami's farewell, but we also worked from 8 a.m.-11 p.m. to finish the next step in re-doing the basement. We spent all day painting the ceiling and walls, and fixing up whatever we could. Here are a few pictures of our progress so far. Our next project will be the floor.



While we were busy in the main room, Spencer and Brent were in the laundry room re-routing the piping and putting up drywall in preparation for the new washer and dryer.

so long, farewell...

Our little Kami is all growing up and saving the Philippines! Just thought we would let you all see the pictures of the MTC. We love and miss Kami already!
