Visit with Montgomery Family

Our good friends of many years, Nathan and Laura Montgomery, visited CA in January from their hometown of Iron River, Michigan. Nathan has recently been accepted as a full-time missionary for Friends of Israel and their hope is to relocate back to their native CA to minister in the L.A. region.

Nathan is a gifted electrician and we always have a few projects for him when they make their annual trek to So Cal. If he knew what we had in store for him this year, however, I think they would have made an excuse not to visit the Tracy casa!! See below...



First, here are the kiddoes enjoying the heated spa...the older boys actually went in the freezing pool water, since after all, they are from Michigan and have a whole different temp. range!
My lovely friend, Laura...nice smile Katelyn
Okay, so here are Nathan and Jonas, about to attempt an insane lighting project. They used an extension ladder to ratchet up an 18' sport court light, which had to be inserted into the base. So this super top-heavy light was lifted by these crazy men, under cover of darkness, about 20' or so, with Jonas on a ladder trying to line it up with the base. My job was to stand back and shout if the light started to lean or fall over...hitting the men and Laura who were lifting it up. Nerve-wracking!!!
Thank you Nathan & Laura for everything!!

Happy New Year's 2010!

My brother's family came down for New Year's weekend and it was a blast hanging out with them, as always! Jonas and Matt always manage to fit in every possible sport within whatever time frame they have. Kari and I finally got to escape to the mall for a few hours for some rare shopping time together.
