Summer Fun

Well so long no see. Sorry it has been a while since the last time that we have posted. We let the summer and all the fun that comes with it get the best of us the past few weeks. During which we had a fun time at Jeff's family Reunion the first weekend of August where were learned all about things we can do to be "Prepared for the unexpected." The kids had a wonderful time with their cousins and their favorite part was playing in the pool and on the water slide. It was great to see all the family and get caught up on how everyone was doing. We sure missed Brad, Sally, and Ty and send them all our love. That following Wed. we were able to join Rebecca's parents up in Park City for a Family get together at the Condo they were staying at. The cool change in climate was welcomed by all and once again the kids had a blast being with family (as well as Jeff and I.) We were able to play in the pool with grandma, grandpa, Ashley, Jen, James, and Makayla. It was fun to watch the kids and play with grandpa and grandma. Seth sure is a fish in the water, and Emma took after Ashley with the sun tanning and listening to music. We sure had a ton of fun that day and are grateful for the times we were able to spend with family. We missed Melissa and Kenley and send them our love as well. As for the ward being split, Jeff thought he was out of the clearing after a week and a half with out a call, but that all changed very quickly. Jeff was called as the Elders quarm president and I know he will do will, despite his his nervousness over being called at such a young age. As the Stake President put it, it will be great training for what is to come. As for me, I was called as the Visiting Teacher Coordinater, which will still allow me to stay with the kids while Jeff is busy with his calling and the arrival of the new baby. Speaking of baby, we hope this little guy stays in as long as he can, seeing that his arrival date is not until Oct. 4, yet my placenta is already thinning out, which means he could pretty much come any time from now until then. Well, I better run the kids are wanting me to come play. Have a wonderful week and we hope to post again next week.



Thanks for reading,

Love,

Sounds like you guys have been having lots of fun. I feel for you guys with the call as the Elder's Quorm Pres. Casey said that was the only good thing about being called into the bishopric...it greatly reduces his chances of ever being called as the Elder's Quorm Pres. And Jeff will be awesome. Out here they like them young, hence why two of the member of our bishopric (including Casey) were called before they were 30. And we had a High Council member talk in Sacrament Meeting about when he tried out for American Idol. What?
Your kids are adorable. Can't wait to see the next one and find out what he's going to be named. Oh, and fun seeing you all last month!

What fun family time! I'm glad everyone is doing well, and I'm excited to hear about this new little one. I hope things go well. We'll be praying for you guys. And congrats on the new callings. You will both do beautifully!

P.S. Thanks for the offer of help and advice with two little ones running around. I'll take any and all advice to can get! I don't know what the heck I'm doing with one, let alone what I'll do with two. He, he!
