Dad's trip, Braxton Mission, Dad and the Bishopric.

It was an other busy week, we have one week till school starts.  We haven't done to much to get ready yet, all I do is work.  Miriah got to tend the neighbors dog this week.  Made us all really miss Zoie, except for dad.  Their little dog is even littler than Zoie was, and Miriah is the best baby sister, she even gave him a bath before they came home.  She is excited to go back to school to be with friends. 

Dad got home from his trip to Minnesota, where they went to learn how to run the new mill equipment.

 So dad got to be a missionary this week too.  He got asked after one of his meetings, "If now that you are out of Utah, can you have a drink?"  He had three glass of water, while they had their Beer.

 He said that they feed them well.

 Hollie is going more and more to hang out with friends.  When of course she is not working.

 Bronson just stays home and studies, and taxies the kids around while I am at work. Crystal had a big show this weekend, she did a really great job.

 It was also Alpine days and dad went to the rodeo with the three kids, I am not looking forward to the next couple of weeks, school will be start and the pool is still open until after labor day.  Last week the challenge to the kids was to have them recognize the spiritual influences they were having each day.  Hopefully they have slowed down enough to know they are feeling the spirit when they are doing good, since a lot of good things are happening.  Braxton we love your letters, keep working hard and know we love you.

A few picture that we found of Braxton on the Mission Facebook page.

He is looking great.

 We went to Salt Lake to the Church History Library with Sister Rasmussen, to see if we could found any history of the ward and stake.  It takes a lot longer than we had expected to find something.  She did find some dates for her dad's history.  We had lunch in the Joseph Smith building.

 When we went into have lunch we ran into Morgan, Cole's new daughter, she had been doing baptisms for the dead with her cousins at the Salt Lake Temple

 After lunch we went to see the new Meet the Mormon movies.  We only got to see one, it was good.

 Cole and Parker did a great job yesterday reporting on their missions.

This is the picture we got with Cole at Zain's wedding.  Feel bad we didn't get one of Seth and Landon when we seen them.

 You can't see this very well, but we lost two branches off the peach tree, and they were loaded with peaches.  All the other branches are loaded too.  Bronson went out and tied up the Branches so we did lose the whole tree. 

 The Bishopric the Sunday they released Brother Krout.

August 8, 2016 Lots of Great Things Happening.

 This week was crazy busy with Driving range, soccer, football try-outs and a basketball camp.  It seems like the busy we are the more we can get done.  Britton was extremely tired at the end of the week.   The Park City Extreme Cup was at the end of the week, this is the first tournament we have played in that we did play in the semi finals.  The boys played hard but it did roll our way to win the two games on Friday.  Britton is excited because he has made the A team again for Football.  His life is going to be crazy from here on out.  Hollie passed her three day driving range experience, and was pretty happy about it.  We also were excited about Braxton's message of being asked to stay to November 29, he has been asked to be an assistant and is excited about being in a new area and working with the president.  Has a big decision to make and lots to think about.  Dad said, that maybe that is why none of them drew out for the hunts, because Braxton needed to be able to accept this calling.

 Picture of Braxton that was on the Mission page.

 Hollie had her picture taken for the bishops office

 Another picture of Braxton from a special baptism.

 The quilt I finished this week.

 While we were in Park City, we had 4.5 hours between games and since we didn't stay in Park City this year we went to the Color Me Mine place to stay out of the sun.  Miriah was in heaven and Britton no so much, but it ended up being fun.

 Miriah and I at the fireworks at the end of Highland Fling.  we tried to take a picture of the fireworks but they were just black.  It was a wonderful showing at the fireworks. 

Yesterday in church Brother Krout who is the second counselor in the bishopric told the ward that he has some health issues and will be released soon.  It's so sad, Adrian is coming home from her mission this Tuesday.  The dentist is still wanting to buy the property, and the other people too.  Timing just is not right right now, but we will see.  We just need to have faith that everything will workout and we will be where we are suppose to be, when we are suppose to be there.  We did see Seth and Cole at Zain's wedding on Saturday night.  Both look really good.  Bronson is reading and studying a lot trying to get ready for his mission. All his friends are gone.  Hollie went to Lagoon on Friday and her phone got broken, flew right out of her pocket on one of the rides, so she has been so sad all weekend.  

Work hard, have faith and courage to do what is right.  Be Kind and always looks for ways to help.  Love you all and hope we all have a safe productive week.
