Of particular interest to Jake

I was going through my stuff trying to decide what needs to be put in my fireproof safe and what needs to just be tossed....i found some pictures Jake took of our Uintah's trip nie these 11 years...yikes can it truly have been that long ago.....first picture..this is the infamous proof that jacob caught this fish with his bare hands!! i found out later that it was almost dead though! the water picture...i know what you are thinking....he looks like somebody....well we had just completed a grueling few miles of hiking and it was warm...the water was NOT!! Jake only took the picture because i said i had lost my shorts while diving in. The snake picture just proves that Jacob can and will catch anything...i didn't even include the numerous salamanders he caught with his fishing pole.....good times!! we need to do it again little bro (both of you!!)

New First Presidency

I am soo excited!! i watched the press conference where President Monson and his counselors were introduced to the media. He is such a neat man! he looked in my opinion very prophetic, and you could just sense the mantel on him as the prophet. i know that Jacob is probably very excited about President Uchdorf, i have always thought that he 'glows', he just seems to radiate light and confidence. i think his talk last conference was probably one of my all time favorites! and President Eyring is my very favorite speaker, he wears his love on his sleeve and always has a great message of positive and optimistic living that must credit his parents and you can see that in all the apostles, i think Hinkley has rubbed off on them all!! i couldn't be more excited and optimistic about the future of our church.... what do you all think?
