Damon's Farewell

"I will go, I will do the things the Lord commands"
Damon we are so proud of you and the decision you have made to serve the Lord. We send you off to the the MTC and to the Phillipines with Love and Prayers.

Time flys when your having Fun!!! Had a great trip to Pittsburg, a wonderful family reunion, lots of fun with Jessica home and visits from nephews. I am loving the beautiful sunsets, the cool mornings and evenings. I am enjoying morning walks through the garden eating rasberries and strawberries, snatching a gold cherry tomato and munching on a carrot or a little cucumber and admiring my vegies as they grow. I picked our first ear of corn tonight and it was delicious! My tomatos are doing great for the first time in my tomoato growing years. Someone ask why I planted so many tomato plants and I told them so I would at least get 12 tomatos but I am going to have a lot more than that! I love all the fresh vegies for dinner. What a wonderful time of year!!

Fun with Jess home and with the nephews

Family Reunion

Pittsburg, Palmyra, Hill Cumorah Pagent, Sacred Grove

Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountains majesties above the fruited plan! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.
We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend starting with our ward flag ceremony and breakfast, then the Rexburg Parade. Saturday evening we went to Driggs to the Huntsmen celebration. The BYU-I orchastra performed a concert then Glen Beck gave and inspiring address on the constitution and Gods hand in preparing, preserving, and protecting this land for a rightious and good people. The music and fireworks were beautiful and the setting below the Tetons was spectatular! (It was cold and I loved the cute little girl with her pink ear muffs and she did have little snow boots on, that's how we dress to celebrate the fourth in Idaho). Today was wonderful to attend church on the fourth and give gratitude and praise to our Heavenly Father for this great Nation and the restored gospel in this free land thru testimonies, music and wonderful lessons on our Great Nation!
