He's safely back in the USA!!!





Thank goodness!
Thank you for everyone's prayers and kind
words to me while he was deployed.
Can't wait until he's back in AZ...sometime in July!

Dear Dad,

I'm so glad that you are baptizing me and that I will get all my sins out and that I will get the Holy Ghost in and that on Saturday we can have a good time when I get sucked down in the water and that you can say the prayer and that when you duck me under, you will not "dround" me like Johnny told me that you will. When he said that I got scared.

Love, Matt

Six Months. (and it's gone by so fast!) We love you, Greggy. And we miss you, but there's no place we'd rather you be.

Happy 8th Birthday, Matty!!!
You are tough as nails and yet sweet, affectionate,
and sensitive, too. You give the best hugs
and offer the best prayers!
You are so excited to be getting baptized!
We love you so much. Happy Birthday, buddy.
Love, Mom

Lip Synching

Scott and I went waaaay out of our comfort zones and lip synced at our ward party Saturday night. He did "YMCA" from Village People. And I did "I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair" from South Pacific. Scott kept threatening to be coming down with the flu, but he came through. While it's something neither of us would EVER volunteer to do, I'm glad that we both ventured out a little bit. Watching everyone else was so funny and so entertaining. I love my ward!
