Summer is in Full Swing!

Just a quick update on Spencer. He's received 411 envelopes from almost all the states and several other countries! He finally decided what to spend his money on. An IPod Touch. And he used the money left over to download some favorite songs. Listening to music is very therapeutic for Spencer and what a treasure for his family to have when he's no longer with them. They'll be able to listen to his favorite music and feel close to him. So--if you donated your $1 to the cause, just consider that you bought him a song!

Now a little bit on what's been happening in my neck of the woods.

Lake Powell, located in Utah and Arizona, really is heaven on earth.

Here is the type of scenery you are surrounded by:





And there's so much shoreline that you see very few other houseboats and ski boats.

Here's the gang from our family who went this year: (Steve bought us all the cool do rags.)






Kade was on a three-week church trip and wasn't able to go. So, Devyn Glass (my step-daughter's sister) came in his place! We love you, Devyn!

This is my sister, Angela's, family.



Ron and Robin Beck and their family came along:



Some really fun teenagers from our neighborhood came for the fun:



And our Florida friends (here are their daughters with my niece, Mallory):



We did so many wonderful actvities:





Really fun times. I was going to post about all the other cool things I've been doing this summer but my son accidentally took my camera to work. So--I'm waiting to show you pictures at the same time.

I'm off for a family reunion for three days in Midway, Utah.

I'll write again soon!
