Fisherman-in-training

This weekend Bill took Will to the Fathers and Sons camp-out.  They had fun singing songs around the campfire, playing sports, and spending time with friends.  But the highlight of the weekend for Will was definitely going fishing for the first time.  There was a dad there who had brought some fishing poles, and he invited Will to come along with him and his kids.  And according to Bill, Will is somewhat of a natural.  He caught at least a half dozen fish, two of which he got to bring home.  We are not big fish eaters around here, but we're glad Will had so much fun.

  

A blessing

Sarah Lynn Evans was blessed by her dad on May 5, 2013.  Bill's parents made a last minute decision to come for the blessing, and we were so happy to have them there, as well as Bobby and Susan and their family.  I don't know if writing down part of the blessing is allowed, but I did it anyway so I would remember it years from now.  Sarah was told that she would be a peacemaker in our family.  She was told that she would be found serving those around her, especially her Heavenly Father.  She was told that she will have faith in the Lord and will know that He loves her.  And she was told that one day she will enter the temple and make sacred covenants.  It was a beautiful blessing, and I am so grateful to have a husband who honors his priesthood and can do this wonderful thing for our children.  After church we gathered for lunch at our house, and of course had to have a quick photo shoot.

Sarah at 3 months

So much more aware and able to focus with her eyes and look at specific things and people
LOVES to smile at anyone who will smile and talk to her
Such a calm, easy going baby, but when she needs something she definitely lets you know
Makes the cutest noises when she's happy
