Brent

I love Brent.  Everybody knows that and so while he is the only child here in St. George with us, he is "my favorite" for a month (sorry Jodi).  Celebrating that little fact and the wonderful occasion of Brent and Lori receiving the key  to their new home yesterday, I got a little vlechlempt and looked back to good memories of old Brent. Lori has helped Brent overcome his upbringing but remember when. . .
Camping at Ohonapakosh, WA

Not-too-bad all-star ball player

Boy who still loves his mom even though she dressed him badly. (It was cute at the time.)

The young Jeremy Renner .  He dressed himself.  Almost got on both shoes.

See, I could match an outfit. Only a real man dares wear pink.

Protection from older brothers.

Tender-hearted and sweet more than 67% of the time.  Yah, he won't let me cut his hair anymore.

Guys, remember this first-of-all San Juan Pioneer Trek with Bishop Buddy? 

Can anyone identify this tree?  I can't remember a thing about this pic. The shirt doesn't even look familiar.  I think it is Brent. . . 


Drinking out of the jug?  Lori caught me drinking out of the jug the other day, but honestly, I was just finishing off the chocolate milk and didn't want to dirty a cup.  Honest. 

As always, pure in heart.  Daniel on the other hand. . . 

The closest Brent ever got to football, thank heavens.  But the costume lives on with Mike's kids, I think. However, Brent continued to love BYU through the years and attended  for many years.  And wants to go back again for many more. It is the Cougar Curse.  


It is good to see Dad and Brent bonding once again in 2013 although Brent doesn't fit on LeGrand's lap so nicely anymore.   

Remember the water hole at that scary Indian Ruin? What is the name of that place?  Hotel Rock?


Missionary Picture.  So anxious to serve.  Great preparation.  Good kid.


Lest you two ever forget. . . 


A dream of a lifetime:  Jerusalem Abroad.

As tall as a pyramid.

Only smooching on whole trip!  (?)

One reason he eventually decided against construction management. 


Almost forgot this little gem.


Still our Hero.

And he loves me too.
