Little Red Jeep

Doug showed up at school one afternoon after the kids had left.  I was surprised to see him there and wondered if there was a problem or something.  He said he just came to get me to go for a ride.  I asked where we were going and did I need to leave things for a substitute.  No, it was just for a short ride.  So, I cleaned things up and we headed to the parking lot.  As we left the building, I looked around for his pickup and couldn’t see it.  I thought maybe he had taken it in for some repairs and was driving something else.  He said his “outfit” was over there and after looking more closely I saw a red jeep parked with dealer plates.  OH NO!  I had asked him to go buy Reed a birthday present and he explained it was my fault that this jeep was on the way to the store.  And…it was red, and a hard top, and just what he had always wanted.  He traded off the car Scott had driven and bought this jeep.  Crazy!  Plus, his reasoning is that I will have something to drive to the farm this summer.  Always thinking of me!

Emma’ s Blessing Day

Emma Marlene Rockwood was given a name and blessing by her dad, Daren John Rockwood, on January on January 13, 2013 in the Townsend LDS Ward.  Most of the family was able to travel there to be together.  We missed Grandma and Grandpa Rockwood.  They weren’t feeling up to the long ride.  The kids and us spent Saturday night at a motel in Helena, Montana.  Maya liked the swimming. 

It was fun to see our sweet little Emma again and be with everyone.
