Shae's Mission

On February 13, 2013, Shae left on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  After two weeks in the MTC in Provo, Utah, he arrived in the Oregon Eugene Mission.  So far things are going well for him.  After six weeks in Corvallis, he is now in Eugene.

Wedding of Kelli and Rod

On December 19, 2012, Kelli married Rodriqo Gonzalez in the St. Paul Minnesota Temple.  It was a wonderful, unforgettable day.

Summer Activities

Becca spent about a week in Wisconsin in July.  That was great.  She and Patricia went kayaking on the Kinnickinnic River.

Shae spent a couple of weeks in Wisconsin in August and went kayaking with Don on a different section of the Kinnickinnic River.

Don celebrated his 60th birthday with Zach, Grace and Cooper.  In primary Patricia asked the children how old they thought he was.  The range was from 29 to 100 years old.

Trip to Missouri - August

Trip to Utah, Idaho and Nevada - June & July

June

Some of our fun activities in June:

Jana, Jasher and Riley came for a visit.

Shae graduated from River Falls High School.

We took a quick trip to Des Moines, Iowa, to watch the NCAA Track and Field Championships.

May Activities

Mark and Tiffany with their family were here for Memorial Day.  The parade was just the right length:  American Legion with the flags, scout pack and troop, River Falls float and River Falls marching band.  Zach and Grace had fun in the water.  Cooper enjoyed dipping his hands in the water.

Shae finished his last season at Track at River Falls High School.  The 4x800 relay team on which he ran took 4th place in the Sectional Meet and missed going to state by less than 1.5 seconds.

Shae was ordained an Elder on May 13.  We were happy about that and happy that Mark could be there.
