Making Progress


Look! We have walls!


One of our summer family activities
has been building a model rocket.


Amy
taught our Family Home Evening lesson this week. She taught us that even though we're all different, but Jesus loves everyone. She made up a game where we were supposed to find the differences in pictures of LDS temples. They all look different, but they are all the House of the Lord. We were amazed at the cleverness of the analogy, which she came up with all on her own.

Kara's imagination is just astounding. She built her very own laptop computer (just like Dad's) out of a piece of paper she folded in half and the Adventure Holder toy from Subway as a mouse.

Brenda was surprised to find that her husband had installed a ceiling fan in the master bedroom while she was gone this weekend.

Joy was amused the other day when a cashier at Good Earth told him he looks like Will Smith. She actually meant to say Will Ferrell, which actually makes only a little more sense.


Interesting stuff:

-A raindrop's journey (Brenda finds this fascinating and wonders why it never occurred to anyone before now.)


QOSROIT: What is one scientific discovery discipline that fascinates you?


Happy Too Hot To Handle Day!

Wide Eyes


The best of this year's fireworks photos


The girls enjoying the Balloon Festival


We were talking one night about the fact that we bought the land our house is on, and Kara asked, "How did they get that in a store??"

Amy was so proud of herself for saving her allowance for something she really wanted that she said, "I'm so pleased!"

Joy's work phone has been dying, so the company got him a new toy: and iPhone. We are paying for the actual phone, and the company is paying for the cell/data plan.

Brenda is again carless and might be for a while. The van died again Monday on the way to swimming lessons, and it is now sitting at Brent Brown in Provo. Apparently, Barber Brothers (here in town) is no longer covered to do warranty work on Chrysler models. Now Brent Brown has to order the same part that takes forever to get.


QOSROIT: Feel free to vent: what is frustrating you right now?


Happy Be a Geek Day!
Love,
