I don't think I've ever had a summer quite like this one. I think we've had 2 days on the calendar without something big scheduled. Can you say CRAZY? Yes. We are. We've been to three big family reunions (one of which was at our house), girls camps (pleural because the bishopric goes), scout camp, priesthood camp, backpacking trips, swim team practices and meets, 4-H contests, piano lessons (with no time to practice), County fair, Youth activities, raftin
g trips... Next week Na
te and Bryan are going backpacking 
again in Utah, Gary 
is taking the priests backpacking for their "High adventure", We are going to Manti for Dawn's wedding, and then to Heber for family reunion #4, and are returning the day school starts. What ever happened to those slow, boring days in summer? They are no more.
Today I spent the day at the church tying quilts. I was just released as the Enrichment Leader, and in June we set a goal to make 100 quilts for the Humanitarian project by September 1st. Today we finished 13, which brings us to 90 quilts done!!! Wahoo! (We set up the gym with fun stuff for the kids and then we just quilt all day. ) It's been a great experience.
I just got called to be the 1st Counselor in Young Women. It's the first time I've been in YW since I was one. I'm scared to death but excited too. We have a really good group of girls. We are going to have to have Bryan be our babysitter every Wednesday. Gary has bishopric meetings along with the youth stuff. It's a good thing we have great kids.
I've not had the time to sit down and figure out how to be a cool blogger. So, you get no music, no flowers, no videos, and all the pictures are stuck together like a big glob of kindergarten glue ... but hey it's something, right? Hopefully someday we'll be able to look back and see where all our time went!

Thanks for inviting me to your little space on the web! Very cool!
Hey, it looks like you have a fun summer. I can't believe it is almost over with. We hope all is well.
What an amazing woman you are! And Gary is just as amazing! We are proud you are our kids. The reunion at your house was the best ever.
Hey it is me again, I hope your summer was fun and you are ready to get your kids back into school like me. Put us down on you friends and family if you would like.

I'm glad that I was able to get back to your blog. I ditto your mom. AMAZING, and it will pay off. But don't close your eyes, the time flys before you know it there will be no one to take to anything (except Gary on a mission :) ). Love Aunt Susie
Yes, I agree.. the reunion was the best ever (especially since it was the first one we have made it to! (: ). We loved hanging out with you guys this summer! Can't wait to see you soon!
Love seeing what you are up to! I was at the bank and your aunt helped me and told me about your blog. Miss you guys. Glad you had such a great summer.
Nicole would be of the Burt variety in Rexburg
Ang,
When did Gary get put into the Bishopric? I guess we missed that little detail. They are realy using you both in that ward. I am so impressed with the quilting project you did in your ward. That is amazing. We put together 69 quilt tops for our enrichment meeting in June. We took the tops to the Humanitarian Center for other wards to pick up and quilt. Not nearly as ambitious as you guys but I was bery proud of the sisters in our ward. We pieced the quilta out of scraps we had in our basements and closets. 69 Quilt Tops! From scraps! Thanks for visiting our blog and hopefully we can keep in touch a little better. I LOVE talking to you! Love, Cindy
