Hi Everyone!
It's been a long time again. We have had a busy, busy, summer. We had a great family reunion. 23 of us slept in our house!! Byron & I went out into the trailer, and let everyone have run of the house. We went to a WATER PARK, BIG SLIDE JUMP THING, ROLLER SKATING & PLAY LAND place all in one. We had such a great time. My favorite thing was the family picture that Karolyn took for us. We were all here, which was my favorite thing! Families are so important. We went to Hertiage Park for one day, had a pinic in American Fork Canyon, the kids hiked to Timp. We stayed down with the 2 "TWO" YEAR olds. Xoey and Peyton, had a ball playing dolls together. We went to the Temple Open House. Another Great Fun thing was the "Family Olympics". I'm so thankful we all had fun together, and got along together. Colton won the Hulu Hoop Contest. Way to go Colton. We played Volley-Ball, had relay races, Water Ballon Hot Potatoe Games, Bubble Gum Blowing and Climbing the Polls in front of the building!
Today was the Dediciation of the Orquariah (sp) Mountain Temple. We took Thiago with us. It was a great experience.
Byron and I have been moved from our Ward to the Mingo Branch. It's taking me longer to adjust than Byron. I'm sure it will be a good experience.

Great News Leesa and Matt are leaving on Sept. 1st to go get "Jenna" from China!!!! I will be going to stay with the kids while they are gone! Looking forward to welcoming our 14th Grandchild. That will be 7 boys, and 7 girls!

Shane and Viviane and family are inbetween moves from Florida to Houston and staying with us for a few months.. It's been fun having the kids here again with us. Viviane went for a job interview in Houston, and Shane went to work last week in Houston, so we took the kids to Fairview Fishing. Thiago caught the biggest fish. I love Fairview!
Well, I'm off to scrapbook for a few minutes. See you in a few.........
