Here is Shad and Kveena singing at a celebration of Logan's 150 years celebration. Elder Anderson of the 12 spoke too. He is just barely in the picture at the bottom. The kids did great.
On the third of July we went to a car show. This was our favorite!
Here is Shad, Adam, and Andrew down playing in the forest. They are making a great fort down there.
Adam is working Andrew over. If only they could get along with each other like we did as kids?
Adam and Andrew decided that it was chilli enough for underwear caps. Dad would be proud!
Shad and Dad went on a grueling 17 mile hike at camp Loll at the bottom of Yellowstone. I walked like a cripple for 2 days afterwords and Shad threw up from heat exhaustion on the way home. He gave it all he had and more. I was really proud of him.
This was at about mile 16. Shad ran out of water halfway so we started to share and ran low. I (Dad) was about ready to die!
This was the morning after the hike. Shad didn't throw up during the night and I was happy! He had taken a nap after the first two stomach cleansings in someone else's tent. He didn't feel like moving so I carried him in his bag over to my tent.
On the 4th we went to the Ocquirrah temple dedication. Our first ever! We all committed that we'd have no emtpy chairs in the Celestial Kingdom and intermittently, at the new babies wedding in the temple.
Here is Andrew taking a picture of a cool car. Adam and I are also in the reflection to the right.
On the way to the temple we had breakfast at Village Inn resturant.
Shad's camp was completely flush with rat sized mosquitos. Shad took the neccesary precautions but still came home looking like a child pox sufferer.
Here is his whole troop of troopers!
Here is Mel's booth at the Summerfest Art Show. His friends took the side walls.
Here is the family having slurpies with our friend Shane. He made it home and said he was going to church this week. We pray it went well!
Shad: Hi, this week me and Kvinde went to camp. They were different camps. I had fun, I finished two merit badges: wood carving and emergency preparedness. I was there all week. I went on a six-teen mile hike with my dad. I did not have enough water and threw-up. Other than that it was a great. Love you, I miss you bye!
Wayne:

Raeghn: I had a week without most of the kids, and missed them so much! Shad went to scout camp, Kveena went to Girls camp, and Wayne worked a lot (2 nights away from home at Camp Fife - the cub scout camp he works at)... So, I had lots of alone time with Adam & Andrew. Nothing real eventful, but we did get their room clean, and read some good books! Saturday was my last bike ride for a while, I'm going to miss it (we got up to 10 ladies from the ward going with us), but my baby belly is starting to hit my legs and seat when I peddle, so I'm just down to walking and swimming now... Today the home teacher mentioned that I look a lot further along then being due in September, which both Mel and I have thought for a while. Doc. says I'm measuring right along, but I feel like by 11 weeks (due date) I'll be huge! I'm feeling pretty good, and am grateful for the little trials I have. I talked to a lady that was put into the hospital at 16 weeks and didn't get to go home till she delivered at 34 weeks. Yikes, that would be so bad! So, I'm grateful I don't have to do that... Mel and I went to Ice Age 3 with Adam and Andrew on Friday, that was a fun "double date"... Hope all is well on your mission. It was great to talk to Mom the other day! Sounds like a busy mission! You must have so many blessings coming your way! We're praying for you!
