The Dad gets a new smile!

We had a great trip to Alaska and after 12 hours in the dental chair, Mike came away with 9 new teeth! Our son, Stephen, replaced the old crowns that were causing problems with his gums, fixed several cavities and more. Thanks Steve! They look great. We tease Mike a bit because he talked funny at first, but he's getting used to the new fit now. Where's Molly.....she needs to load up all my pictures.

The Perk Graduates!

Congratulations goes out to our 5th child, Eric, who graduated from BYU yesterday. He completed a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Psychology minor. He decided that he wants to teach High School so he will go another year to get his teaching certificate. We are so proud of you Eric....you did it. A great Dad, of two darling tiny kids, a wonderful husbond to Liz, and a great son. Have fun in Disneyland. I'll post pictures after today's convocation.

The Non-Farewell

We have had a lot of discussions about the "farewell". We know you are not supposed to do that anymore so we are not, however, we have been asked to speak in Sacrament meeing on May 10th, Mother's Day! So if you want to call that the "Farewell" well there you have it. So come if you'd like. Cameron, Mike and I will be speaking. 1:00 pm at the church south of our home.

Thank You MOLLY!!!

Molly made us the cutest scrapbook from our trip with them to Orlando. It is a hardbound photo book which she put together on picaboo.com. It is darling! Thanks Molly! We will take it with us to Russia! Now I need to get busy and make some others of the rest of the fam.....anyone want to help???
