WoRn OuT

'Sorry about no blogs lately.

Life's been busy.

'Just finished a week where we,

as a family,

had to overcome disillusions and discouragement,

put our shoulders to the wheel,

and work from daylight 'til far past dark

while unfortunately just scratching the surface of so many labors that need to be performed.

But...

at least we were together as a family,

Chels and N8 were real troopers,

and we are all healthy.

(It's so important to keep a perspective.)

We didn't take any pictures.

How about some photos from Father's Day weekend instead?

Chels had YW Camp 'til Friday, June 18th.

(She was quite the markswoman, so we heard.)

Since Chels was gone, the dog had to keep N8 company that week.

When Chels got home that Friday afternoon,
we drove until we made it to BJ & Cami's home in Cedar City.

The next morning, we took off the St. George Temple where...

Devin and Lyndee were married.

It's a beautiful temple.

It's always wonderful to be in the temple...

but even more grand to be in the temple

with family!

A wedding luncheon was held that afternoon with

the reception in the evening. BJ, Cami, Darren, Marie, and our grandchildren were all there.

Hurray!

Chels and her cousins were at the guestbook table.

(These two are going to EFY at BYU ID later this summer.

They're very excited.)

Even F.D.N. Toby, who is an EMT in Afghanistan, came.

('So good to see him!)

The day was also special, because it was my mother's

82nd. birthday. (She is so loved and so amazing!)

The wedding vehicle looked terrific!

We spend Sunday (Father's Day) in Cedar City. Thanks, BJ and Cami! We love you so!

And happy Father's Day, FDC!

We drove home on Monday.

What fun!
