Who is this guy?




all i have to say....
is that i am impressed that my man can grow a full beard in less than 6 weeks.
we volunteered to be a part of the live nativity which is put on by the latter-day saint people every year as a gift to the community.....
i was mary
brian was joseph
will was a shepherd
this was such a special way to serve our community and be a part of something so much bigger than ourselves... we were reminded that this was the only time some people in the community hear the christmas story!
we loved every minute of rehearsal, costume, make-up (even if i was required to wear dangerous amounts of blue eye shadow) AND OF COURSE THE PERFORMANCE ITSELF!
......riding the donkey was exciting
okay truthfully it was a little scary!
the entire experience truly made me reflect, with gratitude, on the greatness of the christmas story, that mary did ride that donkey for 3 days to get to bethlehem, that jospeh loved mary deeply and did all he could to provide for them.....that the babe born that holy night was the CHRIST CHILD and he came to save the world from sin.
that perfect, little child has truly changed the world and can change our hearts if we will but make room for him.

To be able to do that together, what great memories! That is what it's all about. I wish you had a picture of you as Mary.
Brian's beard is very impressive!!

He looks like "John the Bushman" who survived in the woods around our cabin, breaking and entering the cabins around the lake to steal things he needed to survive!!! Kidding...but that is impressive!

I am so glad your blog is open again!! I kept waiting and waiting for an invite ;) and finally popped on "just in case". Lucky me!
I think being part of the nativity would have been an amazing experience, let alone getting to do it with your hubby AND son.
I hope you are feeling good and lovin' life!!!
And really. How talented is Brian being able to grow all that facial hair!

  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement arou

A few pictures for our Idaho friends of Southern Alberta. more wide open spaces wheat field and rainbow The Boehme farm....where we now live The Boehme Farm...at sunset *We moved home to Lethbridge, Alberta Canada on 08.02.2008!* We loaded up the UHAUL on Friday, Aug. 1st, and did all the cleaning in one evening. Thank you to each of you for your help with that crazy day! No one can move on their own and we felt so blessed for all the hands that helped in so many ways. We stayed at the Campbells home overnight (thanks guys for all the memories) and then got up the next morning and were on our way by 9:00am. The trip was long and tiring, but as we crossed the border into Canada I was filled with a wonderful peaceful feeling that the timing was right and that after 5 years of being away. . .we were home to stay.
