Nathan is absolutely adorable in that picture! Where did you get such an adorable suit! He looks so handsome! I love the pictures of you in the younger years too! I can't believe Scott breaking into the church every night. Don't you go to H*** for stuff like that? J/K!!!

Scott sounds like a man with one strong testimony! The story about the church, missions, his family, etc., is awesome. Doesn't really go with someone who would break into a church though!!! SCOTT! What were you thinking??

And look at that blonde hair Christine!!! I now know where Nathan gets his adorable smile from:)

What's your secret for getting a baby to sleep at 8 weeks??? That's great!

You have some of the cutest little boys!

Thanks for FINALLY doing this tag:)

Christi, You left out that you are AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing all of your info. I don't know if you remember we share a birthday. You were born on my 21st. I love that you put in your picture from when I knew you. I am sitting here crying after seeing it and pics of you growing up. YOU ARE A PHENOMENAL WOMAN! If you have trouble with TMJ and Carpal Tunnel check with massage. I know the school I went to they taught both of those. Carpal Tunnel can be real or it can be a pinced nerve there are simple tests like holding your hands in front of your body and locking them by gently closing your thumbs and middle fingers for one minute. If you can do that you might just need special massage therapy sessions for carpal tunnel. Love you honey! Kim

I was just reading the blogs of others. Churches are not supposed to be locked. They are only locked because there are people who would vandalize and worse if they weree open. As long as he didn't vandalize anything Scott should be fine. Kim
