Elder Spencer St. John's Mission Farewell

We went to Bountiful on July 27, 2014 to wish Spencer well as he is ready to leave for his mission to Juarez, Mexico.  He did a great job on his talk, and seemed excited to go.  He is going to make a great missionary.  I pray for his safety as he is going to a dangerous part of the world.

Pioneer Day Celebration

We had some friends and family over for a bbq for the 24th of July.  We ate, played badminton and set off some fireworks.  It was a lot of fun.  Ryan and Marsha Thatcher and their kids came as well as Jim & Colette McCoy, David & Suzie & Ali (Reber) Stewart and Qualyn and Kiersten Barlow and their two children.

TANNER GETS BRACES

In July, 2014, Tanner got his braces on.  He was very excited.  He did such a good job and because of his high pain threshold had very little pain associated with it.  He listened attentively when she told him what he couldn't eat, and how to brush and floss his teeth.  He was excited to try the new way of brushing.

Tanner Repents

Tanner got very angry at me one night because he lied to me, so I told him that he couldn't play video games for a couple of days.  He tore up a picture of him and me and threw it into my office.  The next morning I found this note in my office.

Happy Birthday, Chase!

We went to Salt Lake to take Chase to lunch for his 22nd birthday.  It was so nice to be with him.  We went shopping at City Creek Center after lunch to spend his birthday money.  I love that mall.  It was a good day.  Those who went to lunch at Macaroni Grill:  Conner, Christopher, Juan, Zack, Tanner, Dave, me (Chantel), my parents Wayne and Claudine, Ciera, Seth, Kari, Hayden and Paige.

Chase's New Birthday Shoes

Juan got some running shoes like Chase's

Happy Independence Day

The 4th of July celebration this year started with the City of St. George Parade.  Juan, Zack, Tanner, Dave and I all went.  The weather was nice, and the parade was nice although a little dissappointing because there were no bands or dance/drill team groups and only a couple floats. After the parade, Juan and Zack left for Kaysville, Utah with Seth and Ciera to go to a bbq and to watch fireworks with Seth's family. Tanner, Dave and I went to the Dixie Sun Bowl to listen to a band and watch fireworks there. It was a really nice day overall.

Analese and Audri Visit

I got to watch Analese and Audri while their parents went to swim at Little Jamaica.  It is fun being a grandma to these two.  Analese slept the whole time, but it was still nice to have her here.
