What now?

What do we have going on now? We have been working hard and Andrew has been going to summer school! BOO!! 

Also, Andrew's parents left on their mission a week ago! They are working with the Perpetual Education Fund and are going to be great missionaries! They will be gone for 18 months! It is going to be crazy having them gone and we are going to miss them a lot but we are so excited for them to be serving the Lord and know they are where they need to be right now! The best part is...

 

they are in Nigeria! Wow! We can't wait to hear about all of your amazing experiences while you are out there! Thank goodness for Skype! :)

We are also really into   right now! Those athletes are amazing and it is so fun to watch them compete against other athletes that are the best in the world! Hope you are getting to enjoy them too! 

Phew... I am all caught up now! Don't judge me... it's been a busy few months! :) 

Happy 70th!!

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY, Grandma! Can't believe it! You are definitely 70 years young! We got the opportunity to go out to California to visit for her birthday party! It was a lot of fun and we got to see a lot of family, and Andrew got to MEET a lot of family, for the first time in several years! It was SO much fun! I have a ton of pictures from the party! Enjoy!

 We had a blast getting to spend time with the family! Thanks for everyone who put this party together! And thanks for letting us stay with you Uncle Gary and Vicky! We were so glad that we got to be there! It had been a long time since we had seen Grandma and Grandpa (and any of the other family for that matter) and it was so nice to get to spend the weekend with them! Grandma recently finished treatments for cancer and she is looking great! You are so strong, Grandma! You are truly one of my heroes! We love you!

While we were in California we also got to visit with the other side of my mom's family which was a lot of fun! We forgot the camera so you will just have to take our word for it! We got to visit with my great-grandma who just celebrated her 97th birthday! Holy cow! :) We also got to see Uncle Don, Uncle Ray, Aunt Gretchen, Jackie, Mike, Barry, Christina and Henry! Henry and Andrew became buds and it was so cute watching them play together! We loved getting to see all of you! Love you!
