We can’t believe that school is just around the corner again! Tonight we had our end-of-summer swim party at the South Pointe pool and clubhouse for the young men and women in our ward. We had a great turnout and a lot of the kids had friends come to join us. Brittany had 4 I […]
Angela attended her first roundtable as a cub scout leader tonight! She looks so cute in her new scout uniform! 🙂
Today we had a big and busy day! We started out going to the temple to take pictures of Zach in his suit (like we do for all the kids when they are baptized). We had an enjoyable time there and Zach looked so cute in his suit and tie. 🙂 After the temple, we
Sarah got a new piccolo the other day because they don’t march with flutes at BYU in the marching band. She’s pretty spoiled! A new open-hole flute for Christmas, and now a new $1,100 piccolo for band! She’s not even gone yet and we already feel the sucking sound for money from Provo! 🙂 She

Angela came back home from Idaho this evening! We’re glad to have her back home with us. Unfortunately, I had to drive up to Milwaukee to pick her up! That was a pain in the evening traffic, but coming back home wasn’t really a big deal. It was nice to have some quiet driving time
Brittany and Kirstyn got home from Girls’ Camp today and were very smelly! 🙂 We got them in the shower ASAP and after that, the house was much better! They had a GREAT time and did a lot of fun stuff. Kirstyn has a TON of pictures which I won’t post here on the blog,
Today was Mark’s and Jocelyn’s big wedding day! Angela arrived safe and was very excited to be there with family. The rest of us were sad that we couldn’t all be out there, but with the short notice and the fact that we were all just out there, we couldn’t make it work. Angela had
Last night, our friends, the Gaul’s, left for vacation and dropped off their Foreign Exchange Student from Spain to stay with us until Friday. Her name is Paula and she’s really nice. She’s a little younger than Sarah and the boys took right to her! This morning, Angela and I left at about 3:30 to
Today, Brittany and Kirstyn got up early and headed off to Girls’ Camp! They are pretty excited to go out and have a blast with all their friends from the Stake. It will be fun for them to get all dirty and slimy, camp out in tents, and be crazy with a bunch of other
