canoeing



We have had a fun few days
trying out Rogers canoe in
the Jordan River. It is so quite
and peaceful down there, and
we have enjoyed it a lot.

A summer day at Nanny's and Grampi's, 2008

July 22nd 2008. Keri and Madison, Kailey and her 4 kids, all came to have a fun summer day. We visited, and the kids played with Adam. We had Tuna casserole for lunch( a kids favorite), and then those that wanted to rode the horse-Legend.
We had lots of fun together, and after Keri left, I took the kids to Nicklekade. Wish you could have all been there to make it more of a party! come on over when you get a chance!

Hi everyone, today our little Madison is being blessed, so we will have a family party again. Lyndsey is doing well in Iraq. read her stories on http://www.dvidshub.net/index.php. type in her name and click on news. Our summer is passing very quickly. It won't be long before it's back to school. Kailey is starting nursing school in August, Andrew is going to a different school, Iteniris, where he hopes to graduate with an associates degree. He just got back from a scout camp where they ran the snake River.(rafting) Adam is keeping busy taking care of the neighbors nightmare menagerie . What with a Great Dane that jumps up and knocks you over, or breaks your nose, a rooster that sneaks up on you and attacks, and a billy goat that charges, he has had is hands full. Tera spends a lot of time with us, and so does Charlie. Friday we went out on a Nanny/Grandson date and enjoyed each others company immensely. Tera cooks us gourmet meals, and keeps us well stuffed! Roger has a new bike, he rides it home from work without taking traxs, which is a 14 mile ride. We have several house projects going this summer, and the frustrations of them are already driving us crazy. How would it be to have no more projects to do! The garden is keeping the bug population well fed, we might get a few tomatoes. hope your summer is going well! jennie

Hi family and friends. I want to share a little about Lyndsey with you all. She joined the National Guard last September, and has been trained as a journalist. She left here in March to train in New Jersey, and then was shipped out to Baghdad about a month ago. She is going to be in Baghdad most of her tour, but is in a small town called Taji, which is on the outskirts of Baghdad, at present. She says she has really gained an appreciation for our country and the freedoms we have. Also for our standard of living. It is on average 118 degrees there. I hope you will remember her in your prayers, and think of her often. She is proud to be serving her country, and we miss her.
