Trip to Oregon

He wouldn't smile on his own so I decided to help him out.

Ok so this is an awesome story. 22 years ago, my mother-in-law made a goal when she had her last child. She has 5 kids in all, Buck is right smack dab in the middle. Her goal was, in 2008 she wanted her, her husband, and all of her kids and their spouses if they happened to be married, for all of them to be together in the temple. Well this last weekend her goal was met. All of her kids went home to Klamath Falls, Oregon, and we all did baptisms for the dead in the Medford Temple. Her 3 oldest kids are married and the last 2 aren't. She even made a flag for this goal and everything, and the Temple President thought the story was pretty cool and wants my mother-in-law to type up the story with the family picture we took in front of the temple and he'll put it in the church news. It was such an amazing experience to be there with his family. Afterwards we had a small family reunion and stayed for a weekend there which was an awesome getaway. Me and Buck snuck away from the family craze to take a drive up on the mountain and posed for the timer on my camera :)

I'm glad to see you could finally post something! It sounds like you guys are having so much fun. I gave Rory a bow last year, but he picked it out. I told him I wanted to go on the archery hunt next year. You should get a permit and come too! I've never been before, but it sounds like fun. Good luck with school.
