Summer Begins

The kids have now been out of school for a whole week and summer is officially here. This first week was a fun one. Kaylie went to EFY for the first time at Utah State. She had a blast and really had to stretch herself as she did not know anyone in her group. She made a few good friends by the end of the week and more importantly said her testimony was greatly strengthened. I happened to be on BYU campus a few times this week (lunch with Vera Lyn between her classes) and saw the EFY kids walking around and thought, there is no way my daughter, my little girl, is old enough to be with them. Sure enough she is though, amazing. 

Next week, Kaylie and Dad will do a pioneer Trek in WY at Martin’s Cove and the Willie Sweet Water crossing. It should be a blast, but has taken up most of Dad’s free time for weeks now getting ready.

Kyler, Dallyn, Vera Lyn and I got to go to a Salt Lake Bees (minor league Baseball) game a few weeks back. It was so fun. A friend hooked us up with tickets and they were right over the Bees dugout. Kyler loved hanging out with the Bees and even got tossed a baseball from one of the players, which he got signed by a few of the team, many of the cheerleaders, and most importantly by the Bee himself. It was a blast.
 

Kaylie and I,. with a little help from the boys, put in our garden, tomatoes, zucchini and a few others. Yum.

I had a rough Friday this past week, 18 holes in Midway, Utah, what a pristine setting, who cares that I played horrible, it was a perfect day for golf.

 

Friday night was Vera Lyn's graduation from the two week Music teaching course she took at BYU, her class had to do a small skit, shown below.

Cameron gave his first talk in Sacrament meeting today, on Tithing and Offerings. He prepared it almost all by himself and did a fantastic job.
