I love this picture!
The picture is signed by the artist, David Bowman. Someone posted this picture on the internet after the tragedy in Connecticut at Sandy Hook Elementary and David Bowman got over a million hits. Jared and Tricia are so thoughtful to give this to us. Thank you so much!
The boys played lots of Rockband while they were here.
James trying out the guitar.
Michael loves playing the drums and that's Joe on the other guitar.
James took the girls, Anna, Emmy, and Molly outside for a "walk." It turned out to be a Ranger ride, and a Cat ride and burning brush. The burning of the brush scared Molly so Anna brought her in. Emmy stayed out and helped James for another hour or so.
This evening Jared's family and James and I went to Bill & Rita Solomon's for dinner. Rita is my cousin and Jared met her son Ricky when he lived in Frisco, Texas. They were in the same ward and the two families became good friends. Jared moved into the ward while Tricia and the kids were still in Arizona. When he introduced himself and said he was from Arizona, Rick came up to him and said he was from Show Low, Arizona. Jared said, my great grandpa lived in Show Low. Rick said, "Oh, what was his name?" Jared said, "Arlee Maxwell." Rick replied, "He's my great grandfather too." That's how the friendship started. Both families became good friends.
