Hope, Courage and LOVE!

To our most favorite missionaries EVER!!!! 

We had a good week at home.  The week seemed to pass by very fast.  We only have this week and next week left of school then it's Summer!  Hard to believe we are through another school year.  

We LOVED talking to Mason on Mother's Day!  You look and sound great Mason and it felt like you were home for a bit.   Thank you for being giving us the best hour on Mother's day.  

Landon we missed talking to you, but we are totally in support of your mission rule and we look forward to our call with you on the 24th of June!  

Love that missionary smile! 

Jacob participated in Hope of America this week at BYU!  

Do you remember when Lydia did it 4 years ago?  It's a fun night and Jacob loved it.    

Jacob we in the middle section.  Can you spot him below.....with his hands on his chin? 

You are never far from our thoughts so we we loved when your countries were displayed by the dancers.  

We even got to see Sister Curtis with the Dancing Grannies.  So fun!  

BTW:  Sister Curtis moved to Riverton and soon after got engaged and is now married.  How about that!  She married a widower and they are very happy!  It's really cute! 

Lydia had a great birthday too!  

It was a very rainy birthday but she really was happy with the rain.  

Must be her Washingtonian blood.  

A few things she got for her birthday.  Mainly I took her shopping and she got some new clothes.  

That night we got a babysitter for Gracie and went to Molly's for dinner, and Comedy Sports.  We kind of joked that it was like we were on a double date!  Hahaha!

We really like Comedy Sports! 

 Mother's Day was a great day!  Dad took good care of me.  Helping Lydia and Jacob make me breakfast in bed and dinner.  He also made a very yummy strawberry cake to take up to Grandma Evans.   We had a nice visit up there and enjoyed being with Nate and Jana's family (they just bought a house not far from Grandma's), and Josh and Stephanie's family too.  It was a nice night.

Lydia had the talent show today!  Wow, she did a great job.  I am sending you a video of it.  The quality of the video is not very good, but you can at least hear her sing.  She sang for two assemblies and was a stand out.  She got lots of attention the remaining of the day from the student body.  She was happy she got the courage to do it and was pleased with how it went.  Yay LYDIA! 

A few pictures of Gracie doing what she loves, playing at the park!
