SYDNIE'S ENGAGED!!!

Saturday February 26, 2011, Dallin Andrus PROPOSED to Sydnie. Early that morning, Dallin went down to the river bank and with white rocks wrote "Will You Marry Me?" All the words were originally in the water, but by the afternoon the water had gone down quite a bit so only part of the question was still in the water. It was such a cute way to propose! We are SOO excited for Sydnie and Dallin!

Her ring is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

CONGRATULATIONS SYDNIE and DALLIN!!
We LOVE you!

Congratulations to Rex & Zoe

Congratulations you two on your Temple Sealing today. You both are wonderful and we all wish you the best!!!!

Jaycob the Man!

Yep Jaycob did it again. His team received first in NATIONALS! Go Jaycob, we love you and are so proud of you! Hopefully Tresa will add more details to this post. But make sure you congratulate Jaycob! All of his hard work payed off!

Jaycob Is Competing for Nationals Today! He needs your prayers!

"Jaycobs team won the Missouri FFA Agronomy STATE championship. There are 4 of them and they outscored all other teams by quite a few points. He is currently (today and tomorrow) competing for the National FFA Agronomy title in Indianapolis. Their team has worked for hundreds of hours in study and practice. Their coach is not one of their teachers but a gentleman from the community who is doing this on a totally volunteer basis. I think they deserve to win. Please remember him (them) in your prayers. It could open up many doors for him." Tresa Wilkins

We are so proud of Jaycob and wish him the best of luck and ask for each of your words of encouragement and support!

I'm sure most of us have heard this, but it is worth listening to again and again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT!

Just wanted to wish my Hubby a Very Happy Birthday on his special day. How do you like Brent's new iphone? This was my first cake made with fondant especially for Brent's Birthday. Not perfect, but I had a lot of fun making it. Happy Birthday Brently!!!!

Faithful Friends

In the next few days you will have many opportunities to be a friend for Him (Our Savior,Jesus Christ). It may be as you walk on a dusty road. It may be as you sit down in a railroad car. It may be as you look for a place to sit in a Church congregation. If you are watching, you will see someone carrying a heavy burden. It may be a burden of sorrow or loneliness or resentment. It may be visible to you only if you have prayed for the Spirit to give you eyes to see into hearts and have promised to lift up the hands that hang down.

Housing for the Reunion

Matthew and Lanae will be staying with me!

I also have two extra bedrooms and a bathroom available for anyone who is still needing housing for the reunion. (One of the bedrooms is a "baby room" but we could arrange the furniture so there is more floor space to sleep on if you would like.) I live right outside of Bolivar, it is a 15 minute drive from my house to the lodge. I have the same amenities as Terriann does, so see below, if you would like to see what I have to offer (minus the elliptical machine ;) ).
If anyone would like to stay with me during the reunion, just let me know! I would love the company!

Housing during the reunion

FYI - Melissa and Tresa have both said they would like to stay with us.  Which will pretty much take up the beds.  But if anyone wants the floor, they are still welcome to it!

Hi everybody.  I'm not as creative as Terriann :) but I also have room for people during the reunion.  I have a king size bed in the guest room.  I also have at least 2 twin size beds (possibly more depending on what my kids do), a full size hide-a-bed, and lots of floor space.  We'd love to have anybody stay.  Just let us know!

Room for the Reunion

NO VACANCY

Natalee and Fred will be staying with us :)

 I have no idea where anyone is planning on staying during the reunion but I have an extra bedroom and bathroom that I thought I'd make available for anyone that would like it.  We live in Fair Grove which is 35 minutes from the lodge, 30 minutes from Willard, and just 15 minutes from Springfield.  The location isn't ideal, but if you'd like your OWN bedroom and BATHROOM then by all means be our guest!

 Additional amenities include...

• crib
• twin size mattress (if you need it, otherwise we'll just leave it in Wes' room under his bed)
• shuttle service to and from reunion ( I plan on going every day)
•  OR garage code so you can come and go as you please
• Free wireless internet
• Laundry services on site
• Exercise equipment (aka 1 Precore elliptical machine, some free weights, and a yoga matt)
• Room Service (HA!  Just kidding, but the kitchen isn't far away just help yourself :)

If anyone needs a place to stay and would like to stay with us then just send me an e-mail so I will know you're coming!
