It has been a whirlwind already this summer. Everybody is hopping and keeping up pretty well.
Happy May Birthdays to Sierra (28th), Megan (2nd), Dianne (11th), Kylie (23rd), Aunt Joan and Beau (5th).
Happy June Birthdays to Jared and Thayne (5th), Sean (6th), Doug (RIP 8th), Graham (10th), Gale (20th), Archer (27th), and Ethan (30th)!!!!
Tyler Barnard (Eric's oldest) and Kimber Clemons (Dom's second oldest) graduated at Firth High School in May and left almost immediately for Hawaii where they will start University of Hawaii in the fall. Kaylee graduated at good ole Blackfoot High School in June and has plans to attend college in the fall as well. 'Not sure what the final decision was as to where that was; either BYUI or USU.
(Ryan and LaBretta would want to post pictures here)
Also on that front, Cal moved to Boise to start BSU this fall. He and Jan made the move into a nice trip from Las Vegas that included some camping and sight seeing. They have some great stories to tell!
(Jan and Cal would want to post photos here)
Cal has been traveling around Idaho and Alaska the past few weeks visiting lots of family and friends along the way. He is bunking at our house til his house is available on July 1st. I would imagine that all of you are on the 'visit list'!
(Cal has a neat video and some photos to post here)
Jer and Lisa are working to get her shop in shape. It's a nice spacious place and business is good! Jer's cabinet business is going gangbusters too. Lots of work to do and he's looking for some good help if you happen to know someone that is interested. Kaden is moving pipe this summer and growing like a WEED! He's nearly as tall as Lisa already. Libby and Brock are enjoying their summer and spending some days at their grandma Fellows' house helping her with little things.
(Pictures please!)
Jared and Leilani are both busy with new church callings (Jared: High Council and Leilani in the RS Presidency). Whitney and Makenna both spoke in Sacrament Meeting in the last month and did great! Swimming lessons are underway and life will pick up momentum there with Girl's Camp in future weeks and Day Camp for Easton. AND.....don't forget, we are having a FAMILY REUNION there in August (7, 8, 9)!
(Pictures please!)
Nate finished up in North Dakota at Schlumberger around the first of May. He and Quincy moved to the Boise area and started looking for a house to buy. It is now June 13. They have been in their house in Nampa for almost a week painting and ordering carpet and putting things together. It was fun for Lani and I to help a little bit with that. Nate is working for Advanced Concrete and Quincy will start a new job in a few weeks. (I can't remember the name of that place!)
(Nate and Quincy could post pictures of the transformation of their home here. Here is one that I have of that project.)
Sean and MaryDawn also moved in June to a larger place where they will live til Sean graduates BYU in December. While MaryDawn is looking for work, Sean is doing a 5 week cultural internship with BYU across Europe from May 11 til June 21. He has visited Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, and the next few weeks will be in Vienna, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland. He says he wishes he could spend a little more time in these places than just a day or two. They have seen a lot of history and he has sent me a few pictures (below).
As I said, it is only June 13th and the rest of the summer looks just as eventful! Puleeeeeze post pictures of things going on with you all!
I'm currently updating the Family Directory again. When you get your new one (email), please discard the one you are currently using. ;-)
We'll see you in August!
Loves, Charlene
