April

In April we bought a third car for the family. It is not technically Lia's car, but for now it is Lia's car. It is an almost 20 year old car with 200,000 miles on it, but it's a Toyota so we're hoping to get another 100,000 miles and 3 or 4 years out of it. It's not Lia's dream car, and she certainly wouldn't have chosen a gold one, but she is so excited!! Laura and Josh were excited too and wanted to take it for a spin around the church parking lot. The next picture is my nephew Brady's truck. He let Josh drive it the day he got his mission call. He has been such a great friend to Josh. They talk cars all the time. The day he opened his mission call, we were running late getting there because the weather was bad. I called Kristen to tell her to go ahead and open it without us. They didn't. When we got there, Brady stood up in his suit and welcomed everyone there. He apologized for the wait but said he needed to wait for his cousin Josh to get there because Josh is a special boy and means a lot to him and it was important that he was there. I cried my eyes out. Josh cried too. And Megan cried for Josh. It was a moment I won't forget. And I will be forever grateful for the good influence Brady has been on Josh. Next we had a skating activity with the young men and young women at Classic Skating and then Nate dressed up as the WWF wrestler Ric Flair for a work activity at Comicon. I don't have any words for that. But he loved every minute of it.
