Trevor Graduated!!!!

The day finally came, and Trevor is now done with his bachelor's degree in Health Science at BYU-Idaho! We are so excited for and proud of him! Here are some pictures!

Our Family!

My parents came up to Idaho for graduation! We loved seeing them and having them here! Thanks for coming and supporting Trevor! (They are so great!)

Trev's parents also came to support Trev! Thanks Stacy and Farrell! (They are also superb!)

Trev's brother Brad and his wife Sara (and their unborn baby boy :)) and his sister Taushalyn came too! That was super nice of them!

My dad having his "cheek to cheek time" with Paxton! (He told me when they first got here to Idaho that they hadn't had enough of that yet. He's so cute!)

My cute boys!

"Family History, I am [not] doing it"

So, I just read Elder Bednar's talk from the October 2011 General Conference-"The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn". To say I feel guilty about not doing family history is an understatement. BUT, I went onto the youth family history website he mentions (lds.org/familyhistoryyouth) and found this cool website. I took a family history class last summer on campus but couldn't tell very easily where to help out. Well, on the website, there is a video showing you an easy way to tell where holes are in your family history work. All you have to do is go to createfan.com and login to your family search (same as your lds account) and press create and it makes it. Here is the video that explains it and shows you why it's useful. It took not even 2 minutes to do. So...you should do it too! :) Then you could know where to start helping with family history as well...just sayin.

Why should you do this and get started?
Elder Bednar promises these blessings for participating in family history work:

"As you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn to the fathers. The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be implanted in your hearts. Your patriarchal blessing, with its declaration of lineage, will link you to these fathers and be more meaningful to you. Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will increase. Your testimony of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding. And I promise you will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you participate in and love this holy work, you will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives."

Wow! I love too, he says that it's no coincidence that we are here now on the earth. He says how our fingers that are trained to text and tweet is no accident and that these skills are a blessing that we can give in order to further the kingdom of God on earth. Way cool. Just sayin. So, this is why we should do it. 

Go ahead, go read his talk. You know you want to feel ultra guilty as well. :)

Good Luck!

Our Thanksgiving and pre-Christmas Celebrations!

So yesterday we went to a Christmas celebration here in Rexburg. They had a Santa to take pictures with, free sleigh rides, a free picture booth, and free hot chocolate. Being so busy with school, it doesn't seem like December, so we decided to go so that we'd get more into the Christmas spirit! It was fun! Trev's little sister Taushalyn, so lovingly called Fuzz, came with us!
So, here are some pictures!

Our free photo booth pictures

Our family with Santa Clause:

Sorry...this is turned the right way everywhere except when on the blog..

Fuzz with Pax and the Christmas decorations at the business park hosting the celebration

The "sleigh ride" since there is no snow. We didn't get to ride though because the horses were too tired

The suit was a bit big on him...but it's freezing outside here

While at Trev's parent's house for thanksgiving. Pax has many people wrapped around his little finger. Haha. Everyone trying to get him to smile for pictures.

The boys trying to take the microwave out. Doesn't seem hard right? Right. Well, four hours later, they were ready to start installing the new one. Haha.

Now just some cute pictures of Pax :)

In his cute jacket

He drools. A lot. Just like his mom.

His baby gift from Uncle Craig

He's smiling a lot more now. :)

This is his half smile he does as he is falling asleep. Haha
