100 Day Book of Mormon Challenge Complete

Well I just finished the Book of Mormon in 100 days. Although I read it just under 100 days, I finished it by the March 18th deadline. It sure feels good and I learned so much as well.

Rheese Miller died on Friday

Kiera and I teach the 10-11 yr old boys and girls in church. On Friday we got a call from the Primary President informing us that Rheese Miller one of the boys in our class died of a heart attack at school. It came as a great shock to us as well as everyone else. We found out that durning his short life he had 5 or 6 open heart surgeries but was doing well after the last one. He was always smiling and happy. I remember even when I asked him to be a bit more reverent he would just smile at me.

Anyway, today for our class we met in the overflow of the chapel with the older class and several of the families and friends of Rheese. The parents gave his history and our Bishop talked for a while about the joy that we have through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He talked about eternal families and how his parents will be able to hold him again and how we will all be able to see him again. It went very well. Rhesse's teacher and some of his friends that were not Mormon came also. One of his friends mom came as well and ironically she is my girls teacher (they are home taught but they go one day a week to Eagle Ridge). We actually ran into her on Saturday at the pool and so that made it that much more ironic that she was there today. Everything turned out very nice, we all cryed and laughed together in Rhesse's memory.

His funeral will be on Weds.

You don't see this everyday

Daddy Daughter Dates

Lacie and I were took Alexa to a friends house and on the way back Lacie asked me if we could go on a Daddy Daughter Date today. I told her that we had too much to do today but that we would plan it very soon. I decided to surprise her by going to Fry's Grocery store and getting a donut for a quick Daddy Daughter Date. On our way there Sonic Drive-in texted me that they had 1/2 off drinks and shakes all day today. That was the deal breaker. I turned around and took Lacie on a quick Daddy Daughter Date to sonic and got shakes. Lacie sure was surprised and enjoyed our time together as did I.

I went home picked up Kembri and took her on a Daddy Daughter Date. She is so cute and just treasured every minute of our date.

Finally, I took Ashlyn on a Daddy Daughter Date. She cracks me up because she just sang "The Climb" by Hannah Montana the whole time. I decided that if I was going to bond with her that I would have to loose all my manliness and sing "The Climb" with her, so I did. It was lots of fun even though I don't know all the words. I know some simply because they sing that song all the time and they did a family talent show with that song.

Anyway, I will have to still take Alexa sometime and Cessilee was in the car on all of them just chilling in her car seat so I kind of had a Daddy Daughter Date with her too. I love taking my girls on dates it is such a rememberable experience. If any dads are reading this and haven't taken your girls on a Daddy Daughter Date recently I would highly encourage it.

Seattle's Snoqualmie Falls

I came up to Washington to work on Wednesday and after work on Saturday I drove up to Seattle to visit Jason and Jen. I loved Seattle before coming up here and now I love it even more. Here are some pictures of Snoqualmie Falls that is about 10 minutes from their church building. I ran up there right before church. It is absolutely gorgeous.
