It looks like Jeff & I had a little too much fun this day.

Thanks, Kat!

Our young women's president, Kat, was just released, so last night we made goodbye cards and a special Hello Kitty cake for her. Here are some pictures so you can all see some of the amazing (not to mention cute and awesome) young ladies I get to spend time with.

Jeff's New Best Friend

Our niece, Kally, really took a liking to Jeff on the trip to Hawaii. All she wanted was her "Uncle Jeff."
