FireProof


Do you remember Kirk Cameron from "Growing Pains?"
He stars in this movie called Fireproof. You might have heard of it. Lisa and I rented it from RedBox and watched it last night. I'll admit, the story and directing are a little low-rate, but the message is good and it's a lot cleaner than any other stuff you'll rent. Rarely do we recommend movies but Lisa and I both said that we would recommend this one. It deals with a struggling couple and the effort you should put into strengthening your relationship. I figured we each could benefit from this, seeing as we're all married.
So, spend a buck and spend a night with your spouse.

More Pictures of Your Lovely Parents

How is everyone tonight? I just finished my ham radio check-in and thought I would blog a little while I'm downstairs. The picture was taken June 13th, 1973.
Mom and I are babysitting Weston and Koper while Seth and Lacey are attending a Marriage class at the stake center. I must inform you that this class is to strengthen your marriage not to save it if it is in trouble. Four of the couples are from our ward, my Elders President (Seth & Lacey), my Relief Society President, one of my counselors, and my Ward Mission Leader. Brother and Sister Schroeder are the teachers.
We had a nice Valentines Day. We went to Wal-Mart and went shopping. Tomorrow Mom has the day off and I had an option to take the day off so we will both be home. We have no idea what we are going to do.
Steve Smith called. They found some "milky" stuff in his lungs that is Leukemia. They will stat treatment soon. He always seems to be up-beat. He knew this cancer was going to get him but just didn't know when. He is still fighting and hopes to beat this one too. He sounded good on the phone. We may go see him during spring break in March.
Next Monday we are going to Coeur d'Alene to help Matt and Kimbre move. Her parents will be there too. Hope we all survive. I'll take an extra bottle of Aleve for the sore muscles.
Have a good week.

Korbin is finally 4!

Here are a few pictures from Korbins birthday this past friday. We spent most of the day going back and forth to the school for class valentines day parties so by 5:00 Korbin was dead asleep on the couch. He slept right through dinner until about 8:00 pm when he awoke to a very quiet house. Rett was down for the night and Erik had taken Hallee to basketball practice with Trent and Andra. What a birthday! When everyone else returned home we opened presents and ate cupcakes.

His own copy of the Book of Mormon with his name on it for morning scripture reading was the big birthday highlight. It doesn't take much.

Here we have a fuzzy picture of Hallee playing point guard. She started basketball in January and really loves it. She has 2 great lady coaches that both played college ball. Hallee has learned so much, but the hardest thing for her was to be agressive. She said that she felt like she was using bad manners during the game. It has been so fun to go and watch her every saturday.

So, I guess some of you have heard that we are adding another Zirker to the bunch. We finally told the kids around week 16. I am now 19 weeks along. The girls both think that it will be another boy, but surprisingly Trent and Korbin both want another sister. We'll see. I am tempted to not find out just for fun.
