Flag Retirement Ceremony

The military does a fabulous Flag Retirement for the 24th celebration. We put our flag out almost everyday and we were excited to be a part of this. I love this country.

I love my scouters!!!!

After the speaker, they took down the big flag and respectively put it over the flames.

We got to see my brother, the fireman, Bruce, working hard.

Just a little video of Jackson taking a flag out. Ben was a little more competitive, he was a bout quantity, not so much on the quality.

How do you read scriptures at your house?

We're reading our scriptures and closing the day and I realize that the twins are following along in there respective laundry baskets.. What? Who does that?

Father's Day '09

When Sam came home from chores, and before our 9am church we had him open his "little" gifts

For Father's Day we had the Grandma's and Grandpa's join us for dinner and relaxed and ate and talked. We were lucky Marianne could be with us. She's always fun. After dinner we let Sam run across the street to get his "big" gift. The camping stove I won at a 5k race:)
