Is uncle Colby going golfing?

So trying to explain to a three year old that uncle Colby is leaving for two years

has not been the easiest of feats. When we ask Riley where Colby is going

sometimes he says "He's going golfing!" We keep trying to explain

that he is going on a mission to teach people about Jesus but I am pretty sure

he has no clue that Colby is really going to be GONE for 2 years.

But anyways here is a picture of Colby, Justin and Mat golfing in St George

a few weekends ago. I know Mat had a great time and he is going to miss Colby

a lot when spring gets here.

We love you uncle Boby!!!!

Where in the World is Elder North Going?

Family, friends, and neighbors gathered at the North residence last

night to find out where my sweet brother Colby will be headed for 2

years to serve an LDS Mission

There were so many people there to support him, it was really awesome.

Colby is one of the greatest people I know.

He is generous with his time and his heart and is always willing to lend a

helping hand if he can. He is awesome with Riley and I am

grateful to Colby for all the time he spends with him.

I know Riley is going to miss him so much. He loves going to Grandma

Teri's to play tractors and Bob the Builder with Uncle Boby.


The Kitchen was filled with treats and more people. By the time everyone arrived
it was standing room only.

Colby hanging out with his friends awaiting the reading in just minutes to come

The anticipation is just about killing everyone

Trying to act laid back but you know he's nervous as heck!! Ü

Waiting around some more

Taking a turn at the guessing map

HMMMM where do you think Colby is going?

The Moment of truth. Colby Richard North has been called to Serve

in the Richmond Virgina Mission. FYI Chelsey guessed right

so she got the prize of the night

The Proud Parents!! And they should be. They have raised one of the best

kids I have ever met. I am really glad that Riley has him to look up to.

The Proud Grandparents

His super proud sister. I can't believe he is going to be leaving us all

but I am also so excited for him and all that he will get to do

and experience.

Amy, Riley, Colby, Sadie, Justin & Kinley

Just Chillin with the friends.

Colby checks into the MTC on April 1st and I hope for all our

sakes he is back before we even know he's gone.

Colby we are so proud of you and wish you

the best of luck on this Chapter of your life.

We know you will make an awesome Missionary!

Lots of Love!!

Amy, Mat & Riley Joe Taylor Beck North

Back to reality

It's my first official week back at work and all things considered it is going really well. My feet and lower back would beg to differ, but it feels good to get back in the swing of things. I am learning a lot of new things and luckily everyone is being really patient with me while I ask the same question at least 5 times before I finally remember it. You ladies are awesome!!! ( and you know who you are)
I also want to give a special thanks to Teri, Diana, Grandma Colene and Jamie for helping me out with the babysitting. Without all of you this wouldn't be possible. So thanks again for all you do for me and my family.
And I promise I will get up some more stuff of Riley ASAP, We have many stories to share.

XOXOXOXO
