Important events in July

I can't decide which way is backwards... I decided to enter the first things first, which makes them show up last... I'm too tired to figure out how to switch them at this time... This is only part of our month, but these things are special and I wanted to remember them. I hope you enjoy seeing the photos.

JULY 13th: Katie's Birthday
Milly made a cake with three sides, for both birthdays and Garrett's blessing. Happy Happy Happy!!! Love to each of you.


JULY 12th: Garrett was blessed AND it was Milly's Birthday

Papa, Milly, Garrett, Ben, Katie


our grandson Garrett.

JULY 10th: Mike and Katie flew to MA
Where they got to visit with Milly & Ben and little Garrett.

JULY 8th: Lora checked in to Missionary Training Center
for six to twelve weeks... and then she'll go to the NY, NY North Mission (Mandarin speaking) for the rest of the 18 months that she'll be on her mission. She'll be teaching the Chinese people about Jesus Christ.

JULY 7th: Lora flew to Salt Lake City
and stayed overnight with the Hansens.

Goodbye Lora, we love you and will miss you!!! Pray always and serve the Lord!

JULY 6th: Timmy's Birthday

This first picture is Tim's school photo taken Spring 2009. We bought the rights to use it. Isn't he adorable?!
Joel shows up first on the video here on my preview screen, I don't know why that is... Timmy loved his SpongeBob themed birthday Party!


JULY 5th: Lora was set apart as a sister missionary

By President Cummings. Papa in the circle. Mama, Grammy and Gabe also present for this special time.

JULY 4th: Independence Day

Fireworks were rained out, we took the day off at home.

JULY 3rd: Lora Jean's Mission Farewell Party

We hung Chinese paper lanterns and served cut up fresh strawberries, watermelon, cantalope and chocolate layer cake. It was well attended and an enjoyable evening!

Not my photo, but very similar to what we had.

JULY 2nd: ROBIN'S BIRTHDAY

Some of Robin's party guests: Missy, Ian, Megan, Taylor and Lora.

Playing a version of "Capture the flag" with squirt bottles.
The teams were Pirates and Indians.

Two of the Pirates: Tyler, Gabe.

Tyler got a little carried away with the eye patches.

Robin's birthday hug from Ian. Happy Birthday, Robin!
