Saturday, December 1, 2012. Many of us know the story of David and Goliath, but how many of us know about the life of David after and what he ended up becoming. Samuel 1-10, we read of how David becomes King David and some of the great things that he accomplished. Slays the Amalekite who killed Saul. Becomes king over the house of Judah. Defeats Abner and those of Israel. Becomes king over all of Israel. Brings ark to the city of David. Restores the land of Saul.

A Boy from Chicago and a Girl from Parowan. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Just a few pictures of my growing tummy. I found out I was pregnant on August 6th. This first picture was taken on Oct 9th when I was a little over 13 weeks pregnant. Taken at 16 weeks - not sure of the date. 18 weeks - I think it was Nov 9th. And last Friday was my 22 week mark on December 7th. Posted by Matt and Valerie. Friday, October 19, 2012. Posted by Matt and Valerie.

Friday, August 14, 2015. We had lots of play time with cousins and family from Florida and Idaho. It was the first time in a few years all 5 sisters and mom were together. We biked the Hiawatha Trail - This was one of the most scenic railroad routes with 10 tunnels and 7 trestles that crosses the Bitteroot Mountains and goes between Idaho and Montana. Fishing, boating and swimming in the Lapwai Lake.
