WOW!

Well all be. Mom does know how to use her computer... Just kidding. You did a great job. That is a great picture of you and dad. Sesha says you are pretty! Even you dad. She is going through her stage of everyone is pretty.

We are enjoying the Olympics in between episodes of Flapjack and Spongebob. It has been tricky but I think that we have a schedule worked out now. We just got done watching Phelps win and she was cheering. "Go guy. You can do it. Get the good. Go guy Go" and she was waving her hands in the air. It was classic. Poor Shane is trying to sleep. Oh well.

Well I am going to close for now because they are doing the ceremony and I want Sesha to see it.
Love Ya All,

Hello from Nana and Papa



hello everyone,

we have had a hot sunday, and a preview of what the afterlife could be. Hot and sweaty!

Dad and I worked on putting up some of our fence today, and it was very hot. it will sure look good though when it is done. We did not go to stake conference so all our blessings will be canceled for this week.

The camp out we hope will be fun and I am working on getting a map out to everyone. I am so slow so i thought I better get the letter out first. There is a small stream we are hoping to be by so the kids can get wet and maybe catch cold.

Dad went to scout camp this last week and thought he was camping with a bunch of yw and not ym. One kid got mad and started walking home. Dad gave him a half hour and then went after him. It was just enough time for the kid to start walking back to camp. Then the kids were making a torch with their bug repellent and a match. Dad says he is too old to go camping with the scouts anymore.

we did get out back lawn planted and it is turning a nice hint of green. by this time next week we should see a big hint of green, and not just weeds.

We love you all and hope you will all be to our camp out! Love Nana and Papa

Birthdays and Anniversaries

Hello All,

I know I should be more organized and all but life happens while you are making other plans. I have lost all my birthday and anniversary information for everyone. I was wondering if everyone (or if any one knows everyones bdays and anniversaries) could post the birthdays and anniversaries of our family. I am trying to get my calandar marked for next year and the rest of this year. I am going to get better at sendin out cards and such.

So is everyone getting excited for the family campout? I don't know about this. No potties. This is going to be interesting but I am sure it will be fun.

Well I need to get some work done. It seems like it never ends around here. I will post more later when I have more to report.

Hope all is going well and everyone is surviving RODEO weekend in the big city. I have to admit. I would have liked to been there for about 10 minutes, just long enough to get me a lions burger. We are looking forward to camping over Labor Day. Is everyone going to meet somewhere and go camping or are we just going to meet at the camp ground? Please let us know. I am not sure where we are going. Do we need to bring anything special for food or are we all just going to be responsible for our own meals? Please let us know. ~Amber, Shane & Gang
