I love this saying and only pray that Ciera will understand it all someday till then all we can do is just LOVE her unconditionally and never look down on her. I love you Honey.

As you all know there are times in our lives when Dad and Son are not to be disturbed and one of these times are when the Pinewood Derby comes to town. For those who arent familiar with the Pinewood it is a racing event for Cub Scouts, with the help of parents, build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles.
I don't think that I have ever seen two kids so excited about a little car race
(yes, I said a little car race. I was put in my place).
Mont and Connery had been working on the cars for a week yes, cars. Mont had helped Connery sanded it with his dremal and Connery helped Dad spray paint it and with Moms finger nail paints and some nascar stickers it was all about Mont and Connery. They did a wonderful job and just as Mont was putting the last tire on the car.............it split.
Connery was crushed and Daddy was so upset, but no fear Dad told Connery to run down to our friends and get another piece of wood, with only a couple hours and the car having to be turned in by 9:00 AM the next morning to weight in Connery and Mont were able to pull off an amazing car that not only made them closer in being Father and Son but, Connery won 1st Place yes, First.
Way to go Connery and fast working Dad. You guys did great and Moms proud of you.

To our friends the Houts,
We love you and want you to know that you are in our prayers today.
Hello There,
Ok call me crazy for being up at 1:00 in the morning.
I wanted to update our friends and family. Allthough this move has been hard for us, leaving our ward and moving across town, we have meet some some really neat people and have made some great new friends.
I am touched each day knowing that I have such amazing friends from those in Utah to those here and the ones that I have had for years. Mont and I want you all to know how much we love you and cherish each of your friendships. We are working hard everyday to make our place in this world and know that the lord has put here for a reason. Many times we question why he does what he does and I have come to believe that we should never question just know that he has a reason and its because he loves us. We love you all and I promise I will get better at this blogging.
Love you all
Our Day at the ZOO!!!
Ok, so we decided to go the ZOO and have a fun day. The kids had been asking to go the ZOO cause the ZOO in Vegas
(If thats what you call it HA HA) is not a place to take kids at all. We left early afternoon and went right for the back of the ZOO to see the Baby Giraffe and the kids were just loving it. They loved watching the animals and taking pictures of them. The best part of the day was when we rode the train and the conductor says over the intercom"Go ahead and feel free to make some noise as we go through the tunnel" and all the kids started to howl and then all of a sudden Mont just yells at the top of his lungs and everyone jumps and looks around and we all started to laugh. Oh yeah, and I got him to smile. That was way cool too. This was good day.
