July is almost gone....we love the pioneers. Thanks for getting us to UTAH!!

Well we have certainly had a fun and busy month. We started out by a trip to Newport, then girls' camp, then Bill's release from the bishopric. We had a pioneer sacrament meeting that was as amazing as ever. The sheep were so sweet. It was fun to watch the kids enjoy the animals. What a blessing it is to sit there and think about what the pioneers' lives were like. Don't forget the order of our line. John Jacob Zundel is thought to be the first German immigrant to join the church (1836 I think). He was married to Sarah Forstner, right Tracie?? My uncle Ben's middle name is Forstner. Then Abraham, then Abraham Eberhart. He was married to Sarah (I think Elizabeth-yes I knew when I named Liz) Welling from Farmington. I was just out of high school when she died. Then Eberhart (Grandpa), then Olof, then MK, then YOU!! Doing this from memory, so I could be wrong.
We have had fun activities at the park and swimming where you guys swam when you were little. We are so glad that Kate is learning to enjoy body slamming. Kate and Max have really learned to appreciate one another's strengths. Liz is becoming a cute auntie to the little ones. We just need to get Spencer out here. Above are a few pictures to help us remember how much fun we have had.

So funny. Our history is neat. I'm still waiting for Kate to body slam her daddy. That will be good times. (I just put her to bed an hour ago. When I went in to do "lights off" just now, she had moved her entire bed from on top of the mattress to underneath on the floor. Books, blanket, wubby, pillow, Sarah... and Abbye was down there. And she was folding the clothes in her drawers. She is so her mommy's daughter!)
