Dallas, Victoria, and Matt...Sorenson

Hey, look who's home! For a couple of years we thought Matt Sorenson WAS our son.


The Happy couple!


Ian, This picture was for you.

Dallas went to a high school dance when he was a sophmore, but hadn't been back...until this year. His Girlfriend was nominated as Homecoming Royalty and so they decided they better go. Dallas seems to be enjoying his last year of high school and is just waiting to see what great things are out there for him. If anyone has a car they would like to give him, he would be very appreciative.
We also went out to Yuma to see Matt Sorenson's homecoming. Matt seemed to be a part of our family for a couple of years while we were there. It was funny to come home and always have him just hanging out at our home with our other sons. He was very comfortable hanging out and just being one of us. One of his best "Mattisism's" about dating was....."I'm not spending money on someone else's wife". Not too much dating going on with Matt before his mission...hmm, wonder why.

Winslow Arizona

Michele and I went to Fruitland New Mexico last weekend to see Tiffany and Brad bless their baby. On the way back, we passed through Winslow Arizona. We had been wanting to go take our picuture standing on a corner (ya know the old Eagles song....Well I've been standin on a corner in Winslow Arizona...) and now we would get our chance. Who knew there would be a sign and statue right on the corner of the town! They even put a Flatbed Ford right there (It's a girl my Lord, in a flat bed Ford, slowin down to take a look at me) so you can take your picture with it. Just for the perfect ambiance, they have Eagles music playing over the PA system to ensure everyone is in the mood. We didn't know this was such a tourist thing. We were thinking we were the only fools who would even do this, and then when we got to Winslow, there was a huge tourist bus full of people all waiting in line to take the exact same picture....go figure.
We are either easily entertained in our life, or we have no life at all...Not sure which one yet.
The day finally ended with us driving on into another beautuful Arizona sunset.
