It’s the 4th of July here! Grandma B and Richard came to visit for a day. You will see the picture of the picnic table, with mom’s handiwork in the background.
We
started the day with the ward breakfast. We made eggs again, that seems to be
the tradition that’s developing. Get up in the morning, and make 5 dozen
scrambled eggs. Then we went to the parade at noon. Rachel marched with the
Westview band, and played clarinet. That afternoon we had a barbeque. That’s
when the picture was taken. After that Grandma B and Richard had to go, so they
missed the fireworks. The fireworks were great, as they are every year.
Rachel
went camping with another family. She had a great time, but was so zonked after
the trip she missed church.
Jessica
has a job with a family watching a couple of kids. Things are
going really well – except one of the kids was playing on the trampoline, and
she did some donkey kicks, fell over and broke her arm. Jessica was mortified.
It’s not her fault though, there was not much she can do. The child was on the
trampoline by themselves, under supervision, and just fell on their arm. She
had to call the family, have the parents come home from work, take the child to
the hospital, etc. Luckily the family realizes it was an accident and she still
has a job J.
Jessica
seems to be having a great time at the singles ward. The place is really
hopping…. Monday FHE, Tuesday institute (sometimes with an activity
afterwards), and usually some other kind of activity during the week. Between
her job, odd jobs (tutoring , and watering plants), and
the ward she seems pretty active. She is also learning to play the organ, so she
goes to practice at the church on a regular basis.
Melissa
got her AP scores, 2 3’s and 2 4s. She did really well last year, and we are
all proud of her.
Jennifer
has 2 weeks left of school and she is out for the summer! We look forward to
seeing her for the break. One more semester and we will have a college graduate
on our hands. She is posting her work in the art building, and working on her
portfolio.
Well,
that’s all for now.
Work
hard, baptize lots, do the right things.
We
are proud of you.
Dad
