Chick Magnet!

Ian currently shot this commercial...enjoy! He said he had to bite into several sandwiches before the end of the shoot. Boy, it's a tough life!

By the way, he leaves for Nauvoo on May 2nd. He is way excited to go--I am too but he will be missed terribly. He will turn in his mission papers before he leaves for Nauvoo, so he should have a mission call sometime in May!

Basketball Champs!!

Micah played 6th grade Junior Jazz basketball this year. They had the best coach ever, Neal Watters! They went undefeated this year. They had to win the semi-final game in double overtime--it was a tough game. They won the final game by two points! It was a great season, even though Micah broke his foot half way through the season, while rebounding. The foot healed very fast, and Micah was able to play in the semi-final and final games!! Congrats boys!

Lyndsie & Micah's Shoot!

Lyndsie and Micah shot some print work for Neways to be used in their up-coming catalog. It was so fun to have them work together.

Micah poses with a carrot in his mouth-how flattering!

Lyndsie's Shoot!

Lyndsie had the opportunity to shoot a commercial for Zion's Bank. In fact, the commercial will start running any day now. She plays a long-boarding girl who buys a new long-board with her Dad's Zion's Visa card. It was a fun shoot!

Nauvoo!

This is Nauvoo, Illinois. This is where Ian will get to spend the summer! He auditioned for and was chosen as a Young Performing Missionary (YPM) for the LDS Church. He, along with 19 other guys & gals will learn and perform several programs for the entertainment of the tourists who visit. They sing, dance, act, and play instruments. They have big productions, street productions, and even a program by the river. It will be quite the experience for him. They will perform about 3-5 times a day..enough to keep them very busy. He is very excited to go!

Since Ian will be in Nauvoo this summer, we are planning a family trip to visit Nauvoo and the temple (picture above). We want to see the YPM's in action! Also, we have forebearers who helped settle and lived in Nauvoo. We hope to see where they lived.

The family poses (minus Devon-who is taking the picture) on Christmas morning.

It is tradition to take a picture in front of the tree on Christmas morning before opening presents. Not sure what Ian is thinking...good posture maybe?!
