Trent's Bishopric

On Sunday, Trent was made 2nd Counselor in the bishopric. His bishop is a very impressive European (French-speaking Belgian of Italian descent), Bishop Ardizzone.

Bauer's Birthday

Bauer's Birthday was July 20th and he had a water party at a park in South Ogden. We took Chase with us and the boys had a great time together.

Chase's Birthday

Chase's Birthday was July 17th, but he didn't celebrate it on that day. Edna had a big party at Chuck-A-Rama on the 18th (Youngs, Barleys, and Dodges -- because Mike and Phyllis were in town) and I think Chase felt like that was his party. Then, we took him to Bauer's party on the 20th and gave him these books afterward.

Draeden's Birthday Activity

Since Draeden's birthday was June 7th and we left on June 9th, we did our activity with him on Tuesday of this week. He wanted to play in the park, but it was too hot for him, so we took him to the playland at Carl's Jr. -- and he had a great time.

Kristi's New House

Kristi's new house is very similar to the old one except they don't have grass yet. They are now about 2 minutes from the kids' school, 2 minutes from shopping, and 3 minutes from the temple (the Jordan River Temple -- where they were married).

Justen's Birthday

On Justen's 13th birthday -- Sunday, June 28th -- Teri invited us for dinner. Yesterday, we took him to his favorite restaurant and a movie.
