Today Angela and Camille Poccock hosted a bridal shower for Julia Liddell Bridal Shower at our home. She’s getting married on Friday and they wanted to do something nice for her. They had a great time and Julia really appreciated it. They played a bunch of crazy games and such and I guess some of […]
Today we fed the missionaries. Elder Schilling is the son of a couple that got engaged right before us at BYU and were in our ward. 🙂 Small world. We really enjoy feeding them and we like to take pictures of them to post or send to their parents! 🙂 We love it when people
Last night, the girls had to work, but we wanted to get a camping trip in before it started getting colder, so we took the boys up for an overnight camping trip to Devil’s head! We had a fun time there with them! It rained a bit but then cleared right up! We had fun
Zach started Soccer today! It was kind-of unexpected, but we got a call from the coach (who is also the dad of one of Zach’s friends at school) asking him if he wanted to play. There were a few of his friends on the team and they were short and needed players. We talked with
Angela took the boys and a couple of friends to a jump/bounce house place to have one last fling before school started! They had a great time and got their energy out in prep for sitting in the classroom! 🙂

Our garden boxes are doing pretty well and are starting to yield a harvest! Most of what we’re getting are cucumbers, zucchini and tomatoes. 🙂 The other things are growing a little slower but that’s to be expected. The growing season here in Colorado is MUCH shorter than it was in Illinois so we have
The boys are back in swimming lessons and they are going well! They love the water and want to go swimming ALL the time! Tonight our home teaching families came over for a 24th of July BBQ. Not sure why, but we didn’t get any pictures. Due to some rain, we had to cut the

He’s quite the great little hitter and is learning the game slowly but surely… He still has his moments though, where we wonder what he’s thinking… 🙂 Great job on a GREAT season Ben! He can’t wait to play
