Wow! We've been busy.

And this is just the start of things.  School starts next week, along with seminary (no more sleeping in late - boo hoo), and football started tonight with Union's win over Mt. View 35-7.  Yay!  Edward has been working on getting everything ready for his eagle project (my garage is filling up with lumber and supplies).  We had to find a leak in our water line again this summer, and thus I now have a 50 foot long x 3 foot deep trench spanning my back yard.  The ground was so hard and rocky we had to rent a jack hammer to muscle our way through.  It was worth it though, since we found not just one leak but 3!

Cub Camp is over, but Andrew helped out at 11 Year Old Scout Camp this year also teaching the boys how to tie knots.  We held a den swim for the Bears, and one for the Wolves, along with the Deacons, and a Pack Meeting, so the pool is getting some use which is nice.

If I can ever figure out how to include photos in this new format I will add them, but for now I just can't find the right "button".

Winding Down

Summer vacation is winding down, and we are finally getting the hot August nights (and days).  This summer has been BUSY!!! What with the Navy summer session, football camp, Cub Scout camp, Boy Scout Camp, 11 year old Scout Camp, Aaronic Priesthood Encampment, football practice, den meetings, pack meetings, and throw in there our trip to Florida to visit Jennifer, and it is amazing we are all still functioning.  It may have been busy, but it has also been FUN!!  This week, Aaron and Ed took the pop-up tent trailer to the Oregon coast to try it out while they did some crabbing and clamming.  The verdict: it is wonderful!  Thank you Lindsey for giving the trailer to us.

It is hard to believe that school will be starting soon. Edward will be a Senior this year, Andrew a Sophomore, and Aaron will be starting 7th grade. Jennifer will continue with her college education by taking on-line classes through BYU-I.  She will stay in Florida and continue to work for Disney until January 2013.  She is having the time of her life down there.  Mean while, Ed continues to look for employment and I try to get myself better organized.  There are too many projects that need to get done around here.
