Happy 13th Birthday Courtney!

March 29th was a special day, Courtney turned 13! We did a little shopping on Saturday (since we have agreed that we have different tastes, but that is OKAY!). We then went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Sunday we had a cake and sang happy birthday and opened presents. We just want Courtney to know how much we love her and are proud of the beautiful person is is becoming.

While Dave was here visiting us in Enumclaw my dad started getting Dave into Kayaking. In tribute to this, my dad decided to draw a picture of Dave...which soon was edited by Dave and given back. So here it is...lol

The Big Picture...lol (Looks better bigger)

After the editing job (notice Dave going up stream)

I'll go where You want me to go....

Patiently waiting for family - notice the unopened envelope under his elbow

Blain trying to contact his Mom and Dad on speakerphone - notice the envelope, still unopened

Still waiting

Lorri is trying to conference in Grandma and Grandpa Thomas, Blain is still waiting - boy does he have patience! (:

(sorry I didn't get the picture rotated)

Tanner dialing Grandma and Grandpa Butler.

Finally, the envelope is being opened

The excitement is building.
The boys were on the edge of their seats

Blain reading his mission call - Tucson, Arizona!

Unfortunately no one won the $1000 dollar prize from Grandpa Butler.

Blain was thrilled to be learning Spanish, notice the cell phone on the couch and in his hand, we couldn't hear them but the Grandparents and parents heard the announcement.

Talking to his Mom and Dad as he reads through the information book

The Call! ( sorry I didn't rotate this one either)

Thanks Uncle Dave

We decided to try Dave's suggestion of putting leg weights on Charlie to slow him down

Dad putting on the weights...

Charlie immediately ripped them off, so we resorted to taping them on...

Charlie trying to take them off again without success, thanks to the tape!

He resorted to trying to bite them off...

The look of distress when he realized he couldn't get them off...

More distress and big brother trying to come to the rescue...

Not a happy camper.

So, Dave, it was a pretty good idea. He didn't get into anything because he spent all his time trying to get the weights off. (Disclaimer: For any random readers on here, please don't turn us into CPS. We only left the weights on for about 5 minutes and it was all in good fun. No harm was done to the child in the picture.)

Tribute to President Gordon B. Hinckley

Thought this was fitting to reflect on our prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. I am very glad that he is with his wife again. I am sure he had a very warm reception from many people. But he will be missed here.
