The Missionary Migration!

After 14 months of housing missionaries for our church...our time has come to an end. We have had 12 missionaries in all and have enjoyed all of them. They will certainly be missed by our entire family. The grandkids thought that the missionaries belonged to them! Our whole family will be a little lost I'm sure as each missionary has certainly etched his mark on our family and into our heart. Old Settlers Ward Missionaries...You will certainly be missed!!! A message from your home away from home. What an awesome experience!!! Farewell to Elder Criddle, Elder Askew, Elder Keyes, Elder Woodhall, Elder Miller, Elder Allred, Elder Peterson,
Elder Lund, Elder Scow, Elder Nielson, Elder Maka, and last but certainly not least Elder Howard! May God Bless You All! You have certainly blessed us!!!

Step by Step...

Michael says farewell to Good Ol' Stony Point High School. He took his last finals today. Graduation practice is on Thurday for two hours, then...it's farewell. It's funny, I remember his first footprints of life as they put them on his daddy scrubs the day that he was born. He has taken several steps throughout his life. He stepped through pre-school, grade school, soccer teams, t-ball,swimming lessons, junior high, junior high band...concert band...symphonic band...woodwind ensemble, scouting...all the way to Eagle, Duty to God...all of them, four years of seminary, 300 plus years of service, 12 years of 4.0, and completed high school with honors in the science academy. There will be many more steps as he becomes a man and as he faces adulthood. May he walk in the steps less traveled and always follow the choosen path. We're so proud of you Michael!

Go Zebras!!!

Craig became Dallin's soccer coach again this year. Howeever, this year Dallin was not in the YMCA league...he decided to switch to the Rounnd Rock Soccer Association. It would be a little more challenging and Dallin does have some talent in this area. This year, the newly established team needed a coach and an assistant coach. So Craig was asked to be the coach and Uncle Michael was asked to be the assistant coach. Both did an awesome job as they had their work cut out for them as Dallin was the only one on the team that had played before. I do have to say that they did an awesome job and those little boys really looked like a team by the end of the season. Way to go Coaches Craig and Michael. And did I say Go Zebras! The team colors were black and white. The four year olds chose the team name...so yes, us fan types were yelling "Go Zebra" in the proudest of fashion. Thank you Dallin for providing us with many fun adventures! We all love you!

The Boultinghouse Reunion Revisited

The Boultinghouse Reunion happens every year at Marble Falls Texas. This year, Will, Tammy, and Maddie went with me while Craig stayed home for Dallin's last soccer game of the season. The reunion was awesome with more Boultinghouses than ever in a great location with great food and great conversation. Boultinghouses are never shy about telling you about their history and they ALL know it. They are all such a friendly bunch and I love seeing everyone every year. Thanks to Cousin Madolyn Frasier for making sure this happens every year... and ALL the Boultinghouses who work together so well! It was awesome!

Welcome to Jack-in-the-Box!

Michael has a new job with Jack-in-the-Box. Congratulations Michael! William had this same job about the same age as Michael is right now. It's funny how 10 years doesn't change much!
