Trevors 11 yr old camp


This is a bit old but I realized that I never posted about Trevors 11 yr old camp just after his bday. It was right after I finished with Day Camp. I went straight up the next day to be with Shanna, the Stk Primary Pres I work with. She was such a big help to me that I wanted to be there for her. It was a great camp! The only little issue was that there was a tornado warning that Friday night so they were not able to actually spend the night. Trevor was DEVESTATED!! However, they did go back early the next morning and resumed their classes. It really was well organized!


Downtown Movie Night







Several weeks ago, Trevor, Christen and I had a fun night watching Journey to the Center of the Earth downtown. I love all of the community events such as this that we have here. We sat next to our neighbors and everyone else who brought out their lawn chairs for a fun free night. I even won a drawing for a free dinner for 2 at Hacienda. That was fun too!!

Brandon's Eagle Scout Project


And . . .it's over! Now for the write up. Anyhow, it was a big success. His project was providing a teen book event at our local library revolving around the book The Lost Years Of Merlin. He and his team advertised, got donations for prizes at various bussinesses and ward members, decorated and set up, had a scavenger hunt and a trivia game set up, provided prizes and food. It was great! - and he learned a lot. We are proud of him!! Thanks for the all of your help and support!!

Arg!!

I have been having issues with the computer. Viruses. My friend Denise fixed it. But --- Now when I view my blog it goes back to April for the last post but then when I go to edit posts it goes to my real last post which was July 4th. What last post of mine are you people seeing - besides this one?? I know that the posts arent lost because I can view them if I try to edit. I have a love hate thing with computers! Suggestions? It is probably something easy -- I will check tomorrow.
Im so confused!!

Big news of late - Brandon did his Eagle scout project!!! Still has the write up but the project went well!

We had a fun time even though it was a rainy evening. We ended up staying home and doing smores in the rain on the firepit. We had a lot of street fireworks which were great and we got together with the neighbors all around.

Poor Brandon




I cant upload the video - but it was hailing and the kids got bored. Brandon poured icewater on Todd and then Brandon got his first swirley!! LOL!!!! I will try to load it later! Hilarious I say. Wont make it to the town fire works. Glad we bought some for the street.
