A big gust of wind!


Welcome Home Auriana!


Auriana was at girl's camp for the past four days and, despite her allergies, she had a great time. This is the only picture she took of herself while she was there. She's standing with her friend Kaitlyn and Sister Bagley from the General YW Presidency, who spoke to them and had dinner with them.

June & July 2010: by the kids

Isaac and Bjorn are enjoying the National Jamboree. Isaac says he has finally adjusted to the heat! We haven’t adjusted to having them gone, but we’re surviving just fine.

I asked the rest of the kids what they’ve enjoyed about the summer…

Auriana:
This summer has been super fun! At the beginning of the summer we did the Youth Arts Festival and I did this Prep Choir that prepares me to be in the Utah Valley Children’s Choir during the school year. It’s been fun reviewing my Alto part on all of the songs. It was also really fun to host two Family Reunions at our house this year.
I’m excited and nervous for the school year to start. I can’t believe that I’ll be in 9th grade! I got a bunch of new school clothes, a new backpack, some new shoes, and some new locker stuff. It will be sad when the summer ends!

Natalie:
This summer was really fun! I got on a club soccer team, called HC Storm. It’s really fun, but tiring. I have learned a lot! I can’t wait for school to start, but my best friend is moving to Ohio right before it starts.
A few weeks ago our friends the Shumways came and stayed at our house, it was really fun!

Enoch:
I learned a back-flip and an aerial! My favorite part of the summer was swimming and playing with my friends.

Miriam:
I’ve lost five teeth and today I got a new teacher in primary.

Ellie:
Getting wet! Playing with Miriam! Playing with Enoch! Playing with Auriana! Playing with Dad! Playing with Isaac! Being all alone! Playing with Mommy! Playing with Berry! Playing with Natalie! Playing with Jenna (a friend)! Playing games!

August: by Bjorn

Well, the 3 younger kids are off to their first day of school! Can't believe Miriam's in high school! We did father's blessings...
