Look Out Australia, A New Missionary is Coming!

October 24th Brad received his mission call to Adelaide Australia Mission. He reports to the MTC on March 4, 2009. Here is one of his "new suits" for the mission.

Tommy's 3!

Tommy's mother Lyndsey spent all day making this amazing cake!

Happy Birthday, dear Tommy!
He got his wish...

to play with his cake!

For awhile anyway.

Yummy Cake and Presents

Besides looking great and being fun to play with it is tasty!

But Tommy still wants to play, half a cake is better than none.

Time for presents.

Wow.

PieTime!

We were so lucky to have Aunt Kathy's pies this year!

Chocolate Cream is Dad's favorite.

Thanks for the pies Aunt Kathy!!!

Auntie Velma, Lyndsey and Don think a little of each kind is nice.

Waiting for the Turkey

Soaking the Turkey in a brine for 24 hours is our latest culinary discovery. Brad is turning Mr. T.
Caitlin finds this the perfect new place to climb and help Grammie.

Caitlin likes to climb anywhere, but if food is being prepared all the better!
We're Ready!

My "boys" Ready to Play

Matt, Don and Brad heading off the morning before Thanksgiving to play mud football. Sorry I didn't get the after photo. But, I did get the after laundry and the after complaints about how sore they were! But they won, that makes 3 days of pain worth it, right?

Glad You're Home Brad!

Brad is home from BYU for Thanksgiving break. He is resting a lot and Triton is happy that his friend is home!
