BRIAN'S SENIOR BALL!

Justin, Karissa, Brian, Sadie, Sydney, Tyler, Meagan, Jason posing for pictures before they are off to the dance! The girls in this group are absolutely stunning in their modest gowns!

Pinning on the flower.
Another lovely photo! They enjoyed a fun night at the Coeur d' Alene Resort with dinner, more pictures and a dance! (A little sidenote - Brian and Sadie were crowned as Royalty this night at the dance.) Good wholesome fun!

ELDER BRAD DUFFY (Missionary Update!!)

Elder Brad Duffy is serving in the Tijuana, Mexico Mission, and at this time he is serving in beautiful Ensenada. He loves the work and loves serving his Heavenly Father in this area. Elder Duffy has been serving a mission for almost one year!
Enriques' baptism!
This little girl in Elder Duffy's ward loves the missionaries.
Brad has learned to make a "mean" plate of nachos!
So, he makes the nachos with this meat (Cow tonque). Appetizing?
Pictured here with his Mission President, and a tie received for baptizing 6 weeks in a row! We are so proud of Elder Duffy and thrilled that he loves teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

"Where The Red Fern Grows"

No domestic animals were harmed in the taking of this picture, just one vicious racoon was caught in the act and put out of our misery! :) In Brian's words, Just living the dream! And so the coined term appropriately applies "Idaho Hicks"!

The Birthday Boys!!!

We begin celebrating the boys' birthdays on Shaun's birthday, April 20. Happy 16th Birthday, Shaun! (He requested a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and Reeses peanut butter candies/cups dotted all over it.)
Exactly, one week later, we celebrate Brian's birthday on April 27th. Happy 18th Birthday, Brian! (He requested a multi-layer german chocolate cake. I was pleased that this one didn't collapse or fall apart!)
Elder Brad Duffy's birthday is celebrated one week later on May 4th. He won't be with us this year because he is serving a Mission in Tijuana, Mexico (at this time he is actually in Ensenada, Mexico). Birthday wishes for Elder Duffy will permeate our thoughts on this day. ( We will eat cake with you when you get home in a little over a year! ) Happy 20th Birthday, Elder Bradley James Duffy!
