Tragedy

It was a very scary day for all of us at Snake River High School yesterday. We had a student who became suicidal and came to school with a gun. They put the school on lockdown, and there were a ton of police with assault rifles searching the school for the student. The students were terrified, but around 4:30-5:00 they were finally evacuated. They cleared out the school because they were worried that the student might cause harm to others or to himself. By the time we were all evacuated we were so relieved that no one was hurt. However, the police finally found the student. He walked out to a field behind the High School and shot himself. I was so devestated to learn this news. I cried for a long while last night. This is such a close-knit community, and they care for eachother so much. I know that this is going to be so hard for everyone. My prayers go out to the student's family. I've posted a news link down below for more information.

Baby Instructions

In the past few months, our family has been blessed by three new baby's! Adylae Reid, Jay Tingey, and Michael Thompson. Here are their pictures:

I felt that it would be appropriate to give these new parents some instructions when it comes to dealing with their new babies. To help, I've included some illustrations below.

New Book of Mormon Challenge!

I don't know if you've heard, but there is a Book of Mormon Challenge going on to honor President Hinckley. All you have to do is read the Book of Mormon in 97 days. Sounds easy enough, right?! Well, to help, you can track your progress at www.hinckleychallenge.com I'm really excited about this, and I'm putting a picture on the side of my blog to track my progress as well. I think everyone should do this! It's not only a great way to honor President Hinckley, but also a great way to strengthen your testimony of the Gospel and enrich your life!
