At Last Sam and Brittany's profession wedding pics

Cutting a Rug with Grandpa Lentz

Here's a cute video from Sam and Brittany's wedding. Dad sure loves to dance and Summer was excited to dance with him... until the end that is! She saw another little boy she wanted to play with and just ran off leaving Grandpa standing there alone! Sorry Dad. We're glad she and Grandpa had a chance to boogie together for a little while anyway.

Stars Were Gleaming

This Christmas Spencer learned a new song in Primary that he was excited to share with anyone that would listen. He sang it for his grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and even did a solo in front of his preschool class of 22 students and the Santa Paula Ward primary opening exercises. His preschool teacher audio recorded it for me. He's usually a little shy, so it was a pleasant surprise to see him so ready and willing to share his new-found talent. Notice his smile and the slight swing in his stance as he sings. Cute!

Sam and Brittany's wedding

I left my 35 mm camera at the luncheon and so have been waiting for family to send more pictures (NO PRESSURE THOUGH). Then I was downloading pictures from my camera and found one that Spencer took. So this is the picture that Spencer took, which is why Brittany's head is just barely on the picture. He really does take some good shots for a 4 year old.

It was a fantastic wedding. We just love Brittany because of her compassion, kindness, and the way she makes my brother laugh.

San Diego

While Stuart was presenting at a conference, I took the kids on the ferry from Coronado Island to San Diego and then back again. We left before the sun set and were on the water as the sun set. It was beautiful.

Nephi's favorite thing at the park

Night in Zarahemla

In November our Ward did a "Night in Zarahemla" in celebration of the ward reading the Book of Mormon. We had a dinner and then ward members put on an amazing play telling the stories of the Book of Mormon. Stuart was Nephi and the kids were the Stripling Warriors. Sister Pykles, an AMAZING seamstress, made all of the costumes. I wish the pictures had better lighting so that it would show the great detail of the costumes, but that's what happens with a cell phone camera. It was an amazing night.
