July is Hot!

Brynley
Hello Family, I know that we are all in different parts right now, so I at least will forgive those that are late. This weekend was a good one for sure. BBQ and softball on Friday night, Volleyball tourney on Saturday, yes it was very hot, but I lived and we took 3rd, then I went out to South Jordan and saw my good friend Irene Garcia, many of you may remember her from Ecuador and from her visit last summer. Well she is in town again and it was so good to see her and get caught up. Well it could have been better news she gave me about the wards circumstances,...but it was awesome to see her and try to spit out some spanish. Saturday night I played raquetball for the first time in a long time and I'm not sure if I'm sore today from volleyball or raquetball I just am sure that I hurt. Sunday I went to Angeleena's little sisters homecoming and the poor thing couldn't speak English very well. What a reminder of a very rough time of life. But it was good to see her. I've got my project for my program underway now and hopefully I can get going on this and have it finished by summers end, we'll see how it goes. I'm working at the Sorenson in some evenings and at my internship on the other evenings, so getting a lot of hours in, but that's a good thing, all kinds of good experiences with these kids. Well, that about sums up my week. I love you all. life is good and it does just keep going.

It's a beautiful day...looks like rain. I forgot to do my blog last night, but from the looks of it, so did everyone else. Welcome to Joel, Ryan, Troy, GPA, and the rest of you. Last week, I got a p.s. to the birthday card my 4 kids had sent me. It was from Joel, my birthday boy. I read it over at least 10 times and then went over the whole card the other kids had written. It gives me memories of a lifetime. Each so individual. Each remember this or that, some of which I'd forgotten, but had my memory refreshed. FAMILIES ARE FOREVER. We've got a sign out on the front entry that says The Marlers and Families are Forever. Our Catholic friend questioned us on that the other day. Cory and all his family, Shelley, Ben, and Michael are at Disneyland with Ronda and Jackson to celebrate his 8th birthday. They're having lots of fun. We have been trying to make arrangements to be up there for that. It doesn't look like it will be too easy. GPA just doesn't feel good enough to travel. I think I can do it on my own. Jill and Gary will be out of their home by then and need a place to hang out. So we will make reservsations at the Country Inn in Bountiful. Then I will see whether I'll drive up, with your mom's support (and leave GPA without a car or we will borrow one of Jeff's, or I will fly up. These are all in the planning stage, but I hope to be able to come up there. Hope all goes through with Ryan & Kathryn's sale. Love you all, GMA & ibmom

I'm so happy to have a family again. Welcome to the new comers, and good news, I can get to our blog from work! Not, that it will distract me or keep me from working really hard everyday, Just now I can participate on time. Luv you all!
Well after much scrutiny, RP is now an official Blogger. That is, if I can figure out how to send this after I'm done writing it.

For those who haven't heard, we have sold our house. Of course, it hasn't closed yet and the buyer left plenty of loopholes to get out of the deal if they choose. So we shall see what happens here.

I'm out for now, but will do my best to post a "blog" when something cool happens. That is if I can remember how to get back to where I am now!!

Hello Polls


Thanks for the invite to be a blogger.


I feel so important.


Jodi fixed me up so this is an official test.


Today my boss is being a real jerk and making me go to work, so look for more from "us" ( Ziggy and I ) in the future.
Thanks Again.
Joel


4th of July - well almost

I think the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. Why...because it means it officially summer. Now that there is now school and they don't let us out of work for 3 months, I rely on the 4th. It is soooo hot and I love it all. My Jeep top has been off for almost a month straight now, and while I should feel bad because we need rain and there is a forest fire bigger than before I can help but smile everytime I am in the Jeep with the wind and the heat and well, I love it. So that's that.
My niece was baptized on Saturday and that was cool for her. We all met at Merilees house after and Emma (my niece) was really happy. It was cute.
Mom and Dad moved about 15 boxes in the Anne Frank room in our house that can't get hot in the storage shed. So we'll be rummaging through those for valuables later. Ryan and Kath, the same offer is on the table for you...we have so much storage and its available to y'all.
This week is girls camp so I get to go to Bear Lake for the week. I really miss our cabin up there so I can't wait to go have some fun up there. I really do love my girls and it makes me glad I'm not 15 and worried about the silly things they are concerned about, but its fun to watch anyways.
After Bear Lake I go to Chicago on Saturday...early for my Trade show so I can hang out with Erica and her family. Sounds like plans are already made for some good game playing and perhaps a Cubs game. It will make it worth it to go work hard for the rest of the week selling a bunch of scrapbook paraphernalia the rest of the week:)
Well love you all..thanks for the Last Supper in the F-Town house. It was a good one and fun too. Thanks Bryn for paying rent so I can come swim...it really makes your rent check worth it for me too!
