They're Here! Don't You Love Em!

I so love these announcements! Maybe it's because I sooooo love these two people. Maybe it's because I love what these announcements are announcing. Maybe it's because it's feeling more real. Maybe it's because I was the one on the other side of the camera for each of those photos ;). (just a little pride I'm going to have to overcome huh!) Well, I wish I loved them because I am totally ready for this event, but no way!!!!!, I have a week full of work and activities that will exhaust me and possibly even a few of my friends as they help me get through this week. And no doubt, Terry will be exhausted from his own work already and then still have to help get me through mine. We might both end up in the nut house when this is over. I'm not sorry I started a building project, I'm just sorry I started it so close to the wedding date. We will be working overtime, but the pay will be wonderful and worth every effort. (I'm considering the pay as this eternal temple wedding and "happily ever after" for these two.)

We do hope to see you at our open house! Or at the reception... actually, anytime, anywhere!

Band takes the day.

Saturday was the Columbia Basin Marching Band Festival here in Royal. This year there were 5 participating bands, one of them being Royal. Each presents a marching band show for the audience.
BrittanyJo is in the window here eating a snack in between her running errands for the judge.


This is our Royal City band during the first part of their show.

Connor plays the saxophone and is seen steppin' here with the band.
Chase is playing a duet here for one part of their show. He did a wonderful job.

Anthony's busy life.

Anthony had a football game here in Royal City Saturday morning. He is #87.
Saturday afternoon he was able to go on a hike with his Webelos den, and had a wonderful time.

Anthony's school photos are here:

Anthony is in 5th grade this year.

He is involved in, and enjoys Cub Scouts and football. Being the youngest in the family presents some challenges for him, but it also creates some special feelings. You can tell from this photo that he can be a pretty happy person.

This day is over! Yea!

Today we fed the football team after their practice. We had Hawaiian Haystacks. Connor is sitting with his friends at the table at the left of the photo (in a red and white stripe shirt), and Anthony is in the back.
BrittanyJo had a volleyball game - and they won! Here she is serving, and the ball went over the net and it even scored a point for her team. Good Job girls!

Elder Skyler Hebdon

Email and photos from Skyler today too.

Our lucky day!

Here he is!

He's been out a year! He's on the down hill slide.

Michael is enjoying college life.

We got a fun email and several photos from Michael today. He sounds like he is really enjoying his college experience. I loved seeing the photos and chose this one for the blog, mostly because I knew the two gals he is with. They are Amber and Alyssa Christensen from Royal. :).
