I've known these boys since they were young...really young! And my recent trip to Missouri was really all about them! Our families go way back. As a matter of fact, when they were little, I betrothed my three daughters to them with the hope that they would someday be my sons! (None of them have cooperated in this effort yet, but I haven't given up hope!) Saturday afternoon, their family took me to this beautiful lake in their neighborhood and we got some great pictures!
Kyle is the oldest. He just returned home from Las Vegas where he was serving a 2 year mission for his church. He has grown up and become quite a handsome young man. At times he is quiet and reflective, but then his quick-wit and sarcasm jump out at you when you are least expecting it! He is a great brother and as you watch the three of them interact, you can tell that the younger boys love and respect him!
Trevor is next. Incredible is the only word I can think of to describe this young man! In spite of (or maybe because of) the many challenges he has dealt with in his life, he has become compassionate, hardworking and driven! He is preparing to serve a 2 year mission for his church, also, and will report in just a few weeks to Boise, Idaho. Watch out Boise! Here he comes!!
Jag is the newest member of the family. The Gonthier's rescued him from a local animal shelter just 12 days ago and he is already an integral part of the family! The boys all love him and he loves their mom! It all works out in the end! 
Devin is the youngest, but he is a powerhouse! I'm not sure I ever saw him stop moving during the entire 5 days I was there! When I pulled out my camera, he was ready to perform: climbing trees, jumping off hills and showing me all of his tricks! He is an adorable boy with a charming smile that will melt your heart! I love these boys and the rest of their family, too! Thanks, Gonthier's, for a fabulous visit to your beautiful home! I hope to see you again soon!
