This week

Monkey See, Monkey do!!! Like Father, Like Son.

Well, unlike other other weeks this one has been tame, OH how we love tame. The biggest things we did this week was to go for walks when Rebecca told us to and we went, it did not matter that it was 97 degrees F. outside, she wanted to GO!!!! I have no clue how she did it being 7 months pregnant. On Saturyday we went to Grandpa and Grandma Forsgren's home to pick apricots, how Jeff loves his apritcot juice. We were able to bottle 38 quarts. It just so happened that June, Georg, Gavin, and Davis were also there. We would post pictures but the batteries were dead and we just plain forgot as Rebecca put me in charge of it. We missed Kevin and Nancy's non-homecoming. We are glad they are back and wish them well in St. George. We felt we really needed to go to our church today as they just split the ward, and we needed to sustain the newly called members in their callings. We as of yet do not have any.

So to what Rebecca loves:

Temples,Paperworks,

Emma,

Seth,

Jeff, and

Christ.
Next week Jeff.

Grandma and Bear World

Well, this is us at Yellowstone Bear World about 5 miles south of Rexburg, Id. We went and visited Jeff's family up there, in particular his Grandma. It was a great trip. We got to see Grandma (Emma cried when we dropped Grandma off to go home, she loves her), Kirt, Maureen, Meghan, John, Connie, Cowboy sam, Kelly and her wonderful children, old Jake, Annette, Angie, Mary, Dale, Isaac, Charity, and yes you Cami. It was a wonderful time to get reacquainted with our wonderful family. We even got to see Adam Winchester's pictures from his mission. It was a great time. We went up on Friday afternoon, and stayed with Grandma. On Saturday we went and saw the new Rexburg temple, it is quite beautiful, and then went to Bear World. They loved seeing the Bears from inside the car, and then riding the rides and petting deers. Then we came home and found out today that they split the ward. We are in the new Grantsville 13th ward. We will miss associating in church callings with the many friends we have made in the OLD Grantsville 11th ward. So that was our week. Here are pictures (I know grandma you would rather see pictures, than see typing, so do we.)

4th of July

Well, July 4th has made us think of the many freedoms we enjoy in the USA. Jeff and I have compared it to the lifestyle and governments of Bolivia. We are so blessed to live in this great nation, but we must still fight for it, as people want to take these freedoms away. This has hit home more than usually due to all the coverage of the elections, It is the first time I have really followed the process. Well, Grantsville does a small parade, it is not without some of the amenities of that larger cities enjoy, has a small carnival, and fireworks at night. We loved the parade, Emma got scared of the sirens though, but that was fine with Dad as he enjoys more of the sitting back and relaxing aspect of parade watching. It was a great time spending the majority of the day with friends and neighbors, actually one of our neighbors reserved a spot for over 25 people (their neighbors). Before fireworks we had some of the neighbors come over and we ate ice cream, brownies and lit off fireworks. It was really fun.

Things we each love- We will start with Emma.

Swing, read books, Dance,help out, Popsicles,and off course DADDY!!!!!

To be continued with Seth and then Mommy the following week.
