Latest and Greatest









So, I ain't written in awhile, so here's what's been goin on this summer:
At the end of May, Jack visited for R&R. He was promoted to Captain by Sarah's dad in an awesome ceremony on June 1st. Then Dave and Mandy were sealed in the temple on June 6th. We had a fun ole time at the temple and on the road trip to and from. Mid-June was Girls Camp, and the parents got to be camp cooks this year. The whole family was up at camp for most of the week. It was pretty cool.
The first week of July, Uncle Jim and Cousin Christian came up from Georgia to visit. We had a big birthday party to celebrate Tyrel's, Mom's, and Jim's birthdays. Mom and Jim share the same birthday, but are a few years apart. Twas fun, and we showed them around Fairbanks and had fun hanging out with them. At the end of July, Tyrel and Dad flew to Utah to hang out with family for a few days before his Ty's mission. Elder Lathrop reported on July 29th and has since been learning Spanish and how to be a missionary. Please remember him in your thoughts and prayers. I'll post more at the end of the month when huntin season and school start.
