SHE'S AN AGGIE!!!!!

Meranda is moving to Logan today. She starts school on Monday and I guess she is now an AGGIE! It could have been worse - she could have been a COUGAR!

We went to see her apartment on Sunday - really small - really close to campus - met some of the people in the complex - two were guys - they are all in the same ward - she will continue her policy of not dating "wardies" (guys in her ward).

A woman in our ward told her she would probably meet some Idaho Farmer and marry him! So when we went shopping, we decided to look for clothes that might attract an Idaho Farmer - she looked like a polygamist - gave up on that idea in a hurry!

Good luck Meranda - study hard - have fun - and get ready for when the snow falls!

Whew!

Parker made the HJH boys volleyball team on Thursday. He was sweaty, hot and happy when MK picked him up from practice!

No swim team for him!

Late news - but the wedding was great!

Preston and Katie were married on August 12, 2010.

It was a great day - perfect weather - handsome son with a beautiful wife!

Is it too late to fast?

We are trying desparately to find something that makes Parker "tick" and keeps him active. He has played soccer, baseball, basketball, football, swim, and tennis - and today he is trying out for the Hunter Jr. High Volleyball team.

The deal is he needs to something physical, so it's either volleyball or back to the swim team.

Swimming is a pretty hard sport - early morning practicies - after school practicies - and you smell like chlorine all the time.

So last night at dinner we were talking about volleyball tryouts and about making the team when he asked "Is it too late to fast?"

No fasting, but prayers are being offered!!!!!

Parenting?!?!?!?!?

Most days I think being the parent of adult chidren is harder than being the parent of a newborn. But then I compare the two and they are basically the same.



You bring your newborn home and they keep you up all night.

Your adult child brings themselves home and keep you up all night.



Your newborn relies on you for food, shelter, clothing and love.

So does your adult child, plus car, cell phone, computer,



Your newborn gets upset at you....so does your adult child.



Your love your newborn unconditionally....ditto for the adult child!
