Payton and his school spirit!

Payton has waited all week for this day, he was going all out for school spirit day. He did a great job, you can't really tell, but he used a bathroom towel for his "cape" and he has toothbrushes on his glasses (the ear pieces) and when you touch them they light up. He was chosed to be in the school picture for best school spirit. He was so excited....Him and his brother in the same picture in the year book.....Go HMS!!!

Noah and his school spirit

Friday was extreme school spirit day. Noah wore as much green and yellow as he could find around the house, love my warm fuzzy socks and the curlers in the hair. He had a good day and was asked to be in the school spirit picture at the end of the day!!! He was pretty happy!!! Go Hawthorne Hawks!!!

Noah

Today was a big day for Noah. He was ordained a Teacher today at church. He is very excited about advahancing up. He has sure grown over the last couple of years. Willy set a great example for him about the priesthood and now he has set an example as well for Payton. The boys take it serious and honor it!!!! They are great kids!!! Rhubin ordained him and then Trent Campbell and Sean Mottishaw were there and Grandpa Morrison!

The Phone Call!!!

Monday night I went to bed knowing that we would be able to talk to Willy in the morning, before he got on the plane headed to Calgary. I was restless all night, I was anxious. Finally that call came at 630am. He was so happy and excited to go, he told us about his companion, Elder Nelson. They have been together since they got to the MTC. He said that he used his military skills and showed the Elders how to back their suitcases....he showed them how to roll their clothes and make it all fit nicely. He said they took pictures, they were impressed with his skills!!! Pretty funny. I can see him teaching them all how to fold their laundry. Our time was short but well worth it.....just hearing his voice and knowing that he is happy and doing well, gave me comfort. Can't wait for the first letter from Canada!!!

Lots of Firsts!!!

This has been a crazy couple of weeks. This was our first week with Willy in the MTC, we got our First letter. That was amazing to hear from him and how happy he is and what he is learning.
