Summer 2010

What a fun, busy summer!  Brian and I traveled to Arizona, after dropping off Emily at "Girls State" in southern CO.  The drive was absolutely beautiful through Colorado.  What a nice time we had with Jane and Paul.  We played at the pool, did some shopping, and attended the Mesa Temple.   It is always fun to be with Paul and Jane!


   I managed to get to girls camp this year as one of the cooks.  I have great memories of being at camp with my girls and my friends.  Emily loves girls camp!
           




Jane flew into Colorado and surprised me before we left for Nauvoo.  I didn't know what to say . .  That was fun.  She and Emily helped at a stake Primary activity and then off to Nauvoo we went.  It was a great trip.  We wished that Andrea could have been there.  We were able to see Allison and her family in the pageant, visit the sites in Nauvoo and Carthage Jail and then onto the Boyack Reunion.  We love the feelings there.  We danced, played cards with cousin Jeri till the early morning, had "Boyack Olympics", took a riverboat on the Mississippi through the land of Mark Twain, attended the Boyack banquet and ended with lots of hugs good-bye.

Paul and Jane were able to visit Colorado in August, after seeing Paul's family in Minnesota for a week.  We relaxed a lot, played games and went to a Rockies game.  That was a lot of fun.  Paul and Jane flew back to Utah on a Friday, moved into their new apt. on Sat. and Paul started his last semester at BYU the next Monday.  Jane started her last dental tech class and will be done in Dec.  Good luck, Jane and Paul!
   
After a busy summer at LDSBC in Salt Lake City, Andrea was able to come home.  It was fun to have her home.  We visited the CU campus in Boulder where she is interested in their architecture program.  She also wanted to go to Casa Bonita.  What a blast from the past.  It is still fun there with the divers and all - food is not too great, but we had a fun time.  Brian was out of town, so we had a girls night out with our friend Laurette.
And now I am off to pick up Brian at the airport . . .

"There goes my life"


This is my family!  I have been thinking about them this afternoon.  Andrea and Emily drove to Utah yesterday.  That was kind of crazy.  I worried about them.  The house is almost too quiet, but I am happy they are doing good things.  Jane and Paul were married just over a year ago.  What a wonderful day seeing them make covenants with their Heavenly Father and one another.  We celebrated and had a big party!  They drove away together after running through a sea of sparklers.  I wondered where the years had gone.  I will not forget the spirit of the MTC or watching Andrea walk through the "other" door as she began her life as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  She was prepared and ready to serve.  That was in the Fall of 2007.  She is now attending LDSBC in Salt Lake City and doing very well.  And Emily is a senior at Skyline H.S. here in Longmont, CO.  She is fun!  Brian and I have watched our girls grow and become beautiful young women.  We hope they will always remember how much we love them.
