WE WILL BE BETTER!

So, our blog has been left neglected many times, and hopefully we will be better. But I just need to give updates on everyone:
Courtney and Marc-live in Texas and are loving it
Braden and Sadie-moved minutes away from us and we love it
Whitney-has only six months left on her mission and is a great missionary, here is a part of her last letter,
"This week was a good one. The family that we have didn't go to church yesterday and I don't know why. They sure never will progress unless they go to church. But I know they will go this next week. It's really the mom and the one of the daughters that we are focusing on as the father is definately not humble enough right now to accept that Christ was not an alien. So there is a song on right now that once upon a time I used to listen to and I can't believe how spiritless it is! Man I am quite offended! Anyway, my companion is doing well and I am working on alot of things to help me draw closer to my savior. I have found myself thinking alot lately of the power of faith. Faith like a mustard seed can move mountains. That should tell me where my faith is. Luckily I don't need to move any mountains, but if I did would I be able to? I hope so."
Bryce-living in Texas and is working for the University of Phoenix
Dallin-living in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania selling alarm systems, trying to save money for his mission.
Caitlin-just turned 16 and is the only one left at home. She hates it.
Hal-turned in his application to the University of Pheonix
Gaila-Just signed up to go to shool at University of Pheonix.

Joseph Smith

It is said that we have found a picture of Joseph Smith, but it has not yet been totally confirmed, but here it is, take a look at how similar he looks to his sons, his nephew, and his death mask.

HEYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see how many of you can recognize your own name, can you find it on all of them? It's pretty easy to spot Heywood. Sorry about the blurriness on some of them, they are from the internet.

Man, Heywood's can DANCE! Well, kind of...

Braden and Bryce challenged our father and mother to a dance off, and then later that night they just had to have another one in front of Larry and Cathy......BOYS!

A Stable Home and Family

"The safest place and the best protection against the moral and spiritual diseases is a stable home and family. This has always been true; it will be true forever."
