Elder Perry passed away today.  What a great example of a devoted disciple.  His quote, "A good character is something you must make for yourself.  It cannot be inherited from parents.  It cannot be created by having extraordinary advantages.  It isn't a gift of birth, wealth, talent or station.  It is the result of your own endeavor.  It is the reward that comes from living good principles and manifesting a virtuous and honorable life."  He did a good job describing himself.  He had great character.

Took Mason out to lunch at Costa Vida. Great idea.

Listened to a BYU speech this week that was fantastic.  It has stayed with me all week.  Here's a quote from the talk, "To the degree that we accept the world's way of setting values and priorities, we will lost out on the ability to find contentment and satisfaction in doing the things of God."  - Kerry Muhlestein

Our private sand hill (sand cove) in Red Rock Reserve west of Leds was a fabulous way to spend a couple of hours.  Beautiful picnic place, sand hill to run down, sand to play in, and beauty all around.

Good day to be a sophomore boy - skip school, play soccer, eat pizza, watch a movie - all before 3:00.

The dance festival rocked.  I love this tradition.  I haven't seen other school's dance festival, but I'm betting ours is the best.  Every time I hear "Uptown Funk" I"ll picture Ry dancing.  :)  I may have gotten a little teary as I watched Cam's dance - right in front of her was a boy pushing a classmate in a wheelchair around to the dance.  Sniff.

Sadie's freckles are so cute. 

Talk of the day from April 2015 GC - President Uchtdorf, "living the gospel faithfully is not a burden.  It is a joyful rehearsal -- a preparation for inheriting the grand glory of the eternities."  "Grace is a gift of God, and our desire to be obedient to each of God's commandments is the reaching out of our mortal hand to receive this sacred gift from our Heavenly Father."
