"Life is good, if we live in such a way to make it so.' . . . 'A good life' comes as a result of the way we do things, of the words we choose to say, and even of the kind of thoughts we choose to have... 'Wanting to' is the determining factor which leads us to lay hold upon the word of God and be happy. Perseverance in making correct decisions is what leads us to happiness." ~"True Happiness: A Conscious Decision," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 31~BenjamÃn De Hoyos

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Mariners vs. Baltimore
Went to an afternoon baseball game. Haven’t been to one in about 10 years. Bought Nachos, ate candy and drank apple juice. The Mariners lost 5 to 2.

Bowling w/ the BFF’s - 1
While in Washington I got to go bowling at Lucky Strike in Bellevue Mall with 2 of my best friends Tanya and Tiffany. We were sad that Bethany was unable to make this visit. We missed her a lot. We are planning a trip for all 4 of us together next year sometime. It is much needed.
Tiffany lives in Tacoma and Tanya was visiting her till the 8th and I happened to schedule my visit with Dan and Genni at the same time.
Tiffany and I
The best silly face I can make.
Tanya and I
I am much better at regular pictures.
If I had Photoshop I would totally put you in there Bethany!!
Little Girls
When I took out my nice SLR digital camera Emma and Mary had to pose and be silly for the shoot. They are the funniest little girls and hams on camera.

Happy July 4th!!
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
Independence Day, 1996
