Brodey and James did an awesome job in sacrament meeting today!  They both gave wonderful talks.  James talked about what we can learn from the 2,000 stripling warriors and Brodey's talk was on what we can learn from our pioneer forefathers.  Brodey talked a lot about his great-great-great-great grandfather Harrison Burgess and the funny thing was that Grandma Dianne told us after that he is also James' ancestor!

 The luncheon was a great success!  We got all those youth in and fed in about 25 minutes so they could head on to the next missionary talk!  What a great day!  This an amazing time with so many missionaries leaving and receiving their calls.  This wondrous work rolls forth to fill the earth!   How grateful I am that my son gets to be part of this spiritual force!

 Papa's sage words of wisdom for the soon to be departing missionary!

 Jaxyn and Brodey having a little brunch!  Hopefully Jaxyn grows more in two years than Brodey does!!!!

 A few of the many that attended the luncheon!  Thanks for all the support!  Looking over the crowd I see many young men that have already received their calls and are preparing to go!!  Way to be!! 

James, Ashley, Leanna, Shealyn. Skyler, Brodey.

Welcome to our blog! We are new to this whole thing, so I thought I would put some photos of us from our recent photo shoot we had. This is Shiley, (my mom's new IT person since Brodey is leaving!), my mom is socially network challenged so she asked me to do the blog updates. So here we go:

Jon and Rhonda will be married 21 years in August. They are kept busy by work and keeping us kids entertained. Just kidding, we are the ones who keep them entertained! (;

Brodey received his mission call to Colorado Denver North in April. He leaves August 7th! He graduated high school in June and is excited to start a new chapter of his life. Brodey was accepted to Southern Virginia University and plans to attend after his mission. We will miss him so much!!

 I have been kept busy this summer working at our high school ag farm. I am our high school's FFA chapter president this year and the NV Southern Zone vice president, so I should have a busy school year ahead of me!

Rowdey is not looking forward to Brodey leaving. The poor kid is gonna have no one to watch out for him when his sisters pick on him! (; Just kidding, we love Rowdey and he has been a big help to Uncle Josh and Gramps this summer.

Talley has a hard time with change, so this summer has been hard for her with her big brother getting ready to leave. She loves her brothers and sister, and thinks she is basically the same size and age as us!
