First Camping Trip of the year!

 Our first camping trip turned out to be a little crazy...  We left home on a Wednesday night and got to Cherry Creek around 10:30.  The next day we woke up to an inch of snow.  It quickly melted off and kids happily got out the four wheelers.

 You can't tell... but Pippin is so happy to be here!  NOT!  It was a little cold for his liking.

 Friday morning we woke up to even more snow!  They had to go out and brush it off the awnings.

 Needless to say we packed up and headed for home.  We weren't sure how well we would make it out of the area with the muddy dirt roads.  Even though there were many problems... we had a great time.  I cannot wait till it warms up so we can go again!

Zack got a call this morning @ 7:30 from the post office (one advantage of living in a smaller town), and they said that they had his mission call there.  He went over and got it and Russ picked up Brayden from school and we called Meg.  He is going to the...

San Jose, California Mission and he leaves on the 10th of August!!!

He is very excited and relieved that it is an ENGLISH speaking mission!!!

It won't be long...

I have been a little more teary eyed as my second son starts his preparations to serve a LDS mission.  I think it is because I know what its like now.  (Ben, my first has been out for FIFTEEN months next week!)  I know how much we will miss him!  He was made an Elder a couple of weeks ago and he turned his papers in to our Bishop last night!   We should hear where he will be serving his two years in about 3 to 4 weeks!  I'm just not so sure that I am ready!   :)

Sweet Heart Dance!

This weekend was Meg's sweetheart dance.  She had a real hard time finding a double SO.... she got to double with her parents and T's parents!  We all had a fun time (we... his parents... have been friends for a long time).  Meg cannot wait till her 6 months are up so she can actually drive with a date somewhere and not have to have her parents drop them off!
