Jacob and Sarah had the opportunity to attend a joint Aaronic Priesthood Camp and Girls Camp. It wasn’t “trek” in the way that I know it, but it was a trek-like experience (although Sarah was really bummed there was no dressing up). This was Sarah’s first youth camp, and I think it was a positive …
Fourteen. Jacob is fourteen! Time is flying by so quickly and I am just so proud of Jacob and the wonderful person that he is. Jacob requested orange french toast with bacon and orange juice for his birthday breakfast. We had a lazy morning because Jacob decided that he wanted to go to the pool …
Jacob went to his first youth conference! I am really proud of Jacob for going and I think he was glad by the end of it, too. It was also a fun bonus because Mark was able to go for most of it (he had to come home the night before it ended for work) …

Jacob and the other young men in our ward got to go on a campout this week to Martin’s Cove. I am so grateful he was able to have this experience. They hiked Independence Rock and were able to push handcarts around Martin’s Cove. It was a great way to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of …
THIRTEEN! TEENAGER! HOW?!!! Even though I do not understand how we got here, or how time is possibly moving as quickly as it is, I absolutely loved celebrating this guy.
