Cami’s Surprise

Cami informed us that she wanted to receive her endowment while she is home between semesters.  The plan was made to go to Nauvoo for such a special occasion. 
Cami arrived home on a Wednesday evening and the next day she had a Christmas gift for the entire family one by one.  She came over and in a gift bag was a Texas state flag.  I eyed it suspiciously and then asked if it was for her.  She received a mission call to the Texas Houston East mission speaking Spanish!
I knew she was planning to serve but thought the process was beginning when she returned to Provo.
 What a wonderful example she is!
We will be in Texas at the same time!
 It was such a wonderful opportunity to again ben the temple with most of our endowed children.  Only Andrew and Cierra were missing and with good cause.  It fills my heart to know that each of them is worthy to enter the House of the Lord! 

Koa

Sweet baby Koa Thomas Pleshek was born on December 4, 2025!
What a blessing to Cierra and Andrew and Eddie!
I especially loved taking care of Eddie while they were in the hospital. He's going to be such a great big brother.
We're already in love with our newest grandson #7.  We all know how much Tom does not like children.  But, since Koa's name is Hawaiian (Tom loves Hawaii and culture) and his name is also Thomas, he says he might like Koa when he grows up.  He's already stated that he likes Koa better than the other grandchildren. haha
This sweet little Santa can visit our house anytime!
