ibmom, gma, and gg
Dear Family,
I opened up the blog and there are a lot of new ones posted. We got some cute pictures of Allison and family. They brought over three of those darling puppies. She is going to have her hands full when she gets the new baby. She hopes to have them sold before then. Linda will have to watch the female after she gets her baby. The Dr. says her baby is right on schedule and ways about 8 1/2 lbs. I don't know how to sent the pictures and 10:45 is too late to call Kyle and Jodi's not home. My sentiments and Dales too are for Jodi & Matt to make those necessary
moves in their lives. Life is too short and too fragile to sacrifice so much. Our prayers are with you Matt & Jodi.
Bryn, I had a mid term test that sounded like your final. I had to writ a two hour essay on workd cicilization withous a computer. Can you imagine taking it without a computre or dictionary. I was worried so sen him a mid term essay that I put pictures in, thinking that would go for the mid term one. I got a B plus on it and he is allowing it for my final. So I just have 7 more lessons and speedback assisgnments and a final test and I'm through. I don't think I will get too much done before Bear Lake. See you all next week and will probably write from B.L. if your mom has her lap top. Love you. GPA & I have a date to see a movie of my choice just so it isn't Green Fried Tomatoes or Ann(S) of Green Gable or Sense & Sensibility or Pride & Prejudice. And is a cowboy show. Love you all again, ibmom and gma and gg

Bear Lake - Here We Come!!
Marge Simpson:
Ok, ok, I'm always up for a competition. Dinner you say for the one who writes the most regularly for a month? Well, count me in baby. Especially since I have finished my web project and I can see we are down to about 20 boxes left to pack, then I've got all the time in the world!!
BEAR LAKE ALERT:
BRING YOUR OWN PILLOWS AND SHEETS OR SLEEPING BAGS. FOOD ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE MADE SHORTLY PER RONDA'S SUPREME ORGANIZATION.
Here is the updated schedule of Marge and Homer. (Thanks Jod-eye!!)
Today, Saturday we officially clean out our garage so the new guys can begin moving their stuff into the garage. Tues, I fly to Chicago. Wed night, the 1st we'll sleep at 874 for the last time. Thursday we drive to AZ to play the putting game with G'pa and a little Fink along with that. Friday we come back to the cooler Northern Utah. Saturday, is Jackson's baptism at 11am. Then we head to BearLake country via Maddox and Maceys. Sunday will be cool and Monday will be Boating day. Fun in the Sun (or rain...doesn't matter). Tuesday, more of the same. There will be watermelon, cantalope and corn on the cob just because that's what you do up there. And who knows what else. Wed afternoon we clean and leave. Thursday Dad has a retreat in the morning while G'ma and I go to fun places she has got her sights on in SLC. That afternoon we close on our house and head for sunny Az to play again the putting game, Fink, Golf and may get to watch a Western. I am going to get a pedicure to reward myself for um...well I'll think of a reason by then. And I go to dinner with some former friends at CHW. Sunday, the 12th, homeward bound. Life gets back to a dull roar and then maybe we can be of some help to the Ryan' Polls as they pack and move.
Love you guys bigger and better than Bear Lake....whoa!

Bear Lake - Chicago - St. George
Hello Family,
We'll I'm home for a minute! Two weeks ago I went to Bear Lake with 47 girls for girls camp. We had a great time, did the ropes course in Logan then played on the lake for several days. Man girls camp is not what it used to be! But it is still fun. So I was the sunscreen Nazi and made all the girls wear sunscreen. But I don't make a great German because one of the girls got 2nd degree burns all over her body...must have missed her...and my lips got burned so bad they swelled to twice the size! Well that's how I went to Chicago...big lips and all.
Erica was there at the airport to pick me up. We spent the weekend with her family and Skylars family. They are great people and its like I have a home in Chicago. We went to eat a lot and I think I gained 5 pounds. They love to eat and drink over there and I was happy to be a part of it. Then I worked the trade show and did the usual trade show stuff. Hope I won the sales contest cuz I got some good orders for us. You can check out my company blog too...if you scroll down to the 23rd you can see pictures of what we do when we are there...http://www.makingmemories.typepad.com/
I came home then went to St. George. I was on my way to Kanab to stay with some friends when it started to rain...a lot. Well in a Jeep with no top it got a little crazy so I pulled into Doris and Lamas garage. Luckily they are in Alaska and Rachel was there to let me in! 5 minutes after I pulled in along came Sandy and we all went to eat (Morgan and his wife too) at the Pasta Factory. Sandy paid so I feel a bit guilty, but we had a good time and it worked out to be stuck in Hurricane. Sandy followed me home it rained till Fillmore, but I was loving all the Jeep driving I got and didn't mind a bit. The Jeep title came in the mail this week too, so I really own it without a payment finally! Good new too.
We'll that is my travel report. Glad to add Bear Lake to the list again because I love that place...I'll bring the sunscreen!

Brynley,
Hello Family, although I don't know where anyone is. Grandma is definitely winning the dinner of her choice by her faithful postings. Speaking of which, I'm most excited to see you grandma in a couple of weeks! and in Bear Lake, it sounds luxurious. It is hard for me to believe that the 24th of July is here, what happened to summer? I did run in the Days of '47 10K this morning. It was a good run and all downhill, until the final 5 blocks which destroyed me. Somehow I'm alive to talk about it. It looks like I've got a lot of homework to get done in not a lot of time. I think the hard part about this project is that I am without direction, don't know where to start, so I just haven't. Salt Lake is treating me well, I have managed to find some evenings available to play some ball and work. I've been working at the Sorenson again in the evenings and with an agency called Grandfamilies. I work with children who have been taken away from their parents for whatever reason, and now their grandparents have gained custody. They are a tough bunch, but I"m learning a lot, getting school credit and paid to do it, so let's see,..worth it. I love you all so much and look forward to hearing from you, although it is obvious that we are in a time of life that blogs are not number 1 priorities. Love you all!

Excitement ahead, one day at a time
ibmom & gma
Just talked to Jill and there is excitement ahead. Most important is Jackson's Baptism and confirmation to receive the Holy Ghost. GPA feels very bad that he can't make it up. But I understand and we hope Jackson can too. Like Jill and I said, if he feels better in another week, or 10 days, he's welcome aboard.
Then we're going to Bear Lake after, and stop in at Maddox and get some groceries in Logan at Macy's. Does all of that sound familiar to you? We've all been there and done that before. Linda wont be coming nor will Joel. He gets Zack started at Dixie College in St. George on the 4th. Then after B.L., Jill and I and anyone that wants to will go to This is The Place monument park and then to the Church art musuem in S.L. Jill & Gary will close on their house and then we'll head down to Mesa. Jill and Gary will head home for S.L. and hope their apartment is ready for them to get in. Aren't I lucky to have such wonderful children?
Chris wrote me a short e-mail and I thought I would quote from it. "I'm out on the aircraft carrier for another 6 months and I'm done in the Navy. I'm pretty excited about getting out. The Navy is not for me. I don't get a lot of chances to check my e-mail. Tell everyone hello.
His address is (christopher.marler@cvw1.navy.mil)
Jeff and Linda came over last night and brought a Pizza and a movie called Fly Boys. It was a very good movie about planes in World War II. Got to quit for now. I take my mid-term exam next Wed. the 25th. Have a happy 24th of July. Love ibmom & gma

Move it!
Troy
I now have all my stuff out of Mom and Dads house. That is a pretty big step for me. It has been fun to go through all of my things and think of all the memories that I have had in that house. It was a place where I had alot of my firsts. High School, first date, learned to drive, went on my mission and returned to the same place. All of those big deals happened there in that house and I feel grateful that things went as well as they did. Heavenly Father definatly guided us there for a reason and I am glad to have Farmingon as an important part of my life. It will be missed, but I am sure that even better days are yet to come in Ogden for me and in Centerville for our wonderful parents.
I have been playing a little basketball in a rec league in Clearfield and in quite a few 3 0n 3 tournaments around the valley. Good luck to Mom, Dad, Ryan, and Katherine with the fun things happening with yall and your housing situation.
