Devan Home from Scout Camp

He may not look it but he was dirty from head to toe. He had alot of fun!! He earned 5 merit badges and 2 were required towards his Eagle Scout. He also Earned a special achievement patch that he will get at his next Court of Honor for swimming 1mile, for anyone who doesn't know how many laps that is , it's 72. We're really proud of him.

OUR DURANGO TRIP

We had alot of fun going to Colorado a week ago. We went and saw the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde and to Durango on the Silverton Train. The train ride was long but it was BEAUTIFUL!

MESA VERDE

DEV'S NEW WIFE

Here's Dev and his new wife (don't they both look excited)! While we were at the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde the Ranger chose a girls around 12 to represent how old the indians were back then when they got married, well he asked her to choose a husband and Devan was the only one close to her age so they got to be the examples throughout the tour. When the guide asked Dev what some of his responsibilities would be he gave some great answers but as the ranger persisted Devan just shrugged his shoulders cause he didn't know what else to say, when the ranger told them that it was there responsibility to start a family it was priceless. Devan turned red and the girl had the most surprised and disgusted look on her face.

MIKE and HIS ADVENTURES

Mike has been working hard and having some fun in between. We finished our basement in April, then he moved right on to the front yard. I think that was done in June and now we're working on the back yard. He's having a hard time admitting he's not as young as he used to be and uses alot of Icy Hot every night. But in between he does have some fun. He bought a tractor, danced in Dalayna's Spring Concert and we even went on ONE motorcycle trip. I'll be glad when the house is done so we can do more riding and camping.

MALLORIE

Mallorie is always busy with her job, but now she is attending The Art Institute to get her culinary degree. She has been really excited to start her life long dream, to become some kind of Chef. Mal moved out again in January after living at home for a year. With Dannielle married, Mal moved out and soon Meag moving out, we are going to feel like empty nesters. Although we will still have Dev and Dalayna it seems like they are never around.

MEAGHAN

Meaghan is busy right now with work and some school. She's moving to Orem in 1 month to go full time to UVU, she's working toward her degree in Elementary Education. We're really going to miss her fun personality and smile around the house everyday, at least she won't be to far from home.

DALAYNA

Dalayna received a very prestigious award this year. She received the Citizenship in the Community Award from Congressman Chafetz. Only 28 students in Utah received this award.

Dalayna is having a fun summer break so far, but that will soon be coming to an end. Dance Company starts soon, she's trying to find a job and then school will be starting before you know it! Dalayna is going to be a busy young lady next school year. She is the Dance Co. Costume Vice President, the National Honor Society Secretary and a Concert Choir Section Leader. We can't believe she is going to be a senior!!

DEVAN

Devan is at Scout Camp this week. Hopefully he's having alot of fun and working hard on his merit badges, unforfunetly he'll come home smelling like a scout!

Dannielle, Tyler and Bella are here to visit us for alittle bit! We're excited to see them as always.This is a picture from Christmas.
