Today our big six year old is celebrating his birthday. Last night Todd and I went and picked up his present, this little four wheeler. We were so excited to give it to him we couldnt wait. (plus Jackson was bout busting at the seams to get on it). We made him close his eyes and took him in the garage and he was SOOOOO excited and cute!! He been riding it all day in the dirt lot next door and all the neighbor big boys (jacks friends) are here riding too. Colin thinks he is all that!!! We sure love this boy, he has been a joy to have in our family. If anyone is around we are going to have cake and a little family party on Sunday night at 6. Today we are just taking a few of his little friends to JUMP ON IT (the tramp place) nothing big, cuz he had a big friend party last year. (we only do friend parties every other year). Happy Birthday Colin we love you sooooo much.
Hello Dear, This is the first chance I have had to email. We have been staying in jungle locations. We are having an amazing time. John Lund has a photographic memory and must talk like Hugh Nibley. We are seeing amazing things. John Lund said this is the best weather he has ever had!! It is not too hot but the humidity is unbelievable. We are staying in really nice places with warm warm swimming pools and we go at the end of the day. I went ziplining today through the jungle tops for 2 kilometers. I`m having a great time with Connie and Dean`s friends have been really nice to us. The people are our age and older but real troopers. They get us up by 5:oo sometimes and we go all day. Tomorrow we are going down a river that empties into the Carribean and we are staying at a bay on the Carribean. We have so far seen the Sidon River, Zarahemla, and Nephiha, the land of Jershon, the history of Kish, these sites are all the best Central America has to offer. Hope you are doing good, hope Mark is in school, how does the new window look. John Lunds wife if Laren Gertsch`s sister, she is helping run the tour and really nice. Have you seen Dean? I love you, you would have eaten this up. I`ll try to email again. Love your wife. P.S. Please send this to everyone.
We packed the family off to St. George this weekend as one last hurrah of summer. We passed these old men and their crying pig in the back on the way down. Saturday we were just lazy cuz the weather wasn't great and the kids just hung out and played. Jackson shot his bb gun off the back porch at all the little bunnies hopping by, and as u can imagine, didn't shot a one. Aiden just walked around carrying his golf club all day waiting until dusk when he could run down to the greens and hit. We saw a movie and ate at the In-&-OUt burger in St. George. We had a huge thunderstorm in the evening which was kinda fun to sit outside and watch. The St. George house has these big skylights all through the house and the rain just slammed into it and it sounded like the house was gonna cave in.
