Minnesota Up Dates

Nichole met with the Bishop of her Ward on Sunday and was given a church calling which she accepted.

She will be serving as the Achievement Day Leader.  She tells me that there are three young girls that she will meet with at the Church House every other Wednesday.  Someway, the Lord seems to always manage to get some girl power in Nichole's life.  She will be wonderful with these young girls.  She is full of fun, laughter and  enthusiasm.

Tristin has also been given a new nickname by his father.  He is the BMMOC ------ or in other the words, the girls of the two wards that attend Seminary are swooning over him.   So he is the BIG MORMON MAN ON CAMPUS.  The young people have a Mormon table that they sit at to eat breakfast and lunch and all the girls want to be with Tristin.  Can't blame them --- he is a good lookin Harry Potter.

Hunter and Clayton are riding the bus for the first time in their lives.  Clayton was excited from day one but Hunter is not so thrilled.  Hunter's school is the fartherest away so this will help greatly with the gas money.  Tristin is the first to leave because he has seminary at 6.  Then Hunter and the last to leave is Clayton at nine.  It is reported that they are doing okay.

Skylar came to visit Brad and I (I guess yesterday since it is now after midnight).  We so enjoy having him come.  He was to meet with the Bishop this evening about being ordained to the office of an Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood.  We talked some about where he would like to serve his mission and of course it is still France or at least a French speaking mission.  Only the Lord will have the final answer to that question.  He seems to be keeping very busy and was proud to report that he can do his own laundry now without having to call his mom.  It also sounds like Grandpa and Grandma Isaacson are taking him out to eat alot.  I think he is getting spoiled real good.  He did say that he sure is tired of the tomatoes at the garden and picking them and picking them.  I am glad that he is willing to help out.

We always have to have a talk about the NBA, which mostly is talk about Dallas and his favorite player Dirk N.

We are looking forward to he family coming to Utah the first part of October.
