ALL TEENAGERS NOW

Tyler turned 13 this month. He had a huge friend party, but I didn't get any pictures. I was too busy being refree/ peace keeper/ trying to roll the ball straight for the next person in line/ everything, for a wicked game of kickball. The kids had a lot of fun.

The grandkids came for a visit

Kolbie and Kamree are watching Sponge Bob with Matthew

Kenyon and Tyler are getting ready to build with the tonka trucks

Kamree picked a pillow fight with grandpa

After about 15 minutes they both decided they had been hit enough.

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
