Carson-The Eagle Scout

Carson loves scouting and was really inspired as a young boy to do everything in scouts. He finally completed his Eagle in January and was awarded his Eagle on March 5, 2014. He would of had it sooner if he could have gotten his camping days in but as an athlete in soccer kept him from receiving it earlier. His friend Jared also received it the same day.

The Witness of a Great Engagement

Our close friends children go engaged a couple weeks ago and we had the privilege of attending. We have know them since Juan an I got married and we love both families. Who would of thought that someday these two kids would marry. They make a great couple and have many of the same future goals....Especially temple marriage.

 

 

Here is the table set up at Papa Kelsey's. A funny place to get engaged but yet who would forget?

Her expression after Derrick popped the question.

She said YES and they plan to marry June 11, 2014

The beautiful ring. I liked how it was never-ending. They call these rings "Infinity" rings.

The awesome couple. We wish them the best and will see them in a few months as husband and wife. Derrick and Abby.

Juans new Toy

Juan has a friend that was selling one of their four wheelers because they bought a Dune buggy. We talked about it and decided it was a great deal so we went to buy it but when we went they decided not to sell it. Well to make a long story short, they finally decided again to sell it and we went as soon as they said yes so we didn't miss the opportunity. Here is the new toy.

 

 Michaela and Carlos trying it out. They enjoy it already.
