Our Newest Priesthood Holder

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Ethan had the Aaronic Priesthood conferred upon him and was ordained a Deacon on Sunday November 6, 2011 in St. George. We traveled there so his other grandparents could participate with us. They moved from Florida just this past week and had planned to join us at home. The trip was so much for them that they decided that they were unable to drive up to our area, so we decided that we wanted to go there to include them as the other grandparents. After the recital we drove to St. George. Derek decided to surprise his parents and were they surprised! It was so fun to see them and we enjoyed our visit with them. Grandma Hill went with us too; this was her first great-grandson (and our first grandson) to receive the Aaronic Priesthood. Congratulations to Ethan!

A Rank Advancement for Quentin!

Monday, November 7th, 2011

We want to congratulate Quentin for an advancement he has earned in the Utah Army National Guard. He is now a Sergeant in the Guard which means he has more responsibility and gets a raise in pay (I guess). Congratulations! Sharisse and her Mother were there along with Grandma Hill, Mom, and me to be witnesses to this event. There were several other soldiers receiving rank advancements and it was a nice ceremony to be a part of. The commanding officers said that there was more family support for this event than they usually had, and was pleased about it. We drove directly from St. George to Draper to make it to the ceremonies, making it a very full day for us. This was a very happy day for all. Again, CONGRATULATIONS Quentin! We love you and are very proud of you!
