Amy's Fashion Show Features a Familiar Face

Every year the THS Fashion Team choreographs a fantastic fashion show. Every year they go out into the community and borrow merchandise from different stores in exchange for advertisement. One of these stores is Timpanogos Harley. Not only does Timpanogos Harley provide clothes, they also provide "Harley Dudes" and bikes to ride on the stage and model with the High School students. It's always been a highlight of the fashion show. Well this year they didn't respond to THS's phone calls. So Amy volunteered the only "Harley Dude" she knew, her father. There were other motorcyclists (young things on little bikes), but only one "Harley Dude". This is how it turned out. Also, watch for Amy in the first group with the hat and boots.

Geoff Has Been Called to Serve

Geoff's mission call came Wednesday April 15th. The mailman brought it to the door, personally handed it to me, and grinning from ear to ear said. "I have a mission call for this home." I felt like kissing him but squealed instead. Later that day, friends and family gathered and shared this special experience with Geoff. Amy and Ty were out of town and were missed very much. A special thank you to Tami Nelson for taking the following images.

"Where, Oh Where will my Little Boy Go?"

The papers have been submitted and now the wait has started. Join in the fun as we wait to find out where Geoff will be called by emailing your guess to ritter.s@comcast.com or making a comment on this blog site. You should choose one foreign mission and one state-side mission. We will let you know who's guess is the closest.


Happy Birthday Scott - April 5th

Happy Birthday Scott! You are a "big boy" now. Thanks for being in our family. We love you!

New Office

The new office is done. Here is a peak of Scott's work station. Now he needs to get busy and write the new edition of his Historical Geology Lab Manuel to finish paying for it.
