Dear Family,
Happy Summer! We've had a busy last few months. I went to two really great concerts...... reliving the 80's. I saw U2 in May, and Howard Jones last night. Both were really fun. Went with my friend Page from work. Did a lot of dancing, and went right up to the stage for HoJo's last three songs of the night..... good times. Casey likes the 80's stuff too, and went last night with his friend Trevor.
Alyssa turned 8 in May and had a Rock Star/ Princess party at Cookie Cutters which included her and her friends getting up-do's, nails done, karaoke and dancing on stage under a disco ball. They all had a blast! She was also baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We had a really nice lunch and get -together at Mom's house. Thanks to Jennifer and Steve for doing all of the food preparations for us. It was much appreciated. Alyssa danced in her recital at Kingsbury Hall: Mary Poppins. She was a hunter, and had a horse and everything. Fun to watch.
John and I celebrated our 22 year anniversary, and since I was 22 years old when I married him, then I guess I've now spent half of my life with him already.... weird... but good at the same time! :)
Mitch turned 13! A real teenager! We saw Cars 2 as a family, and then John took him and a friend to Classic skating for laser tag, the blast zone, and some bouncing. He was a happy boy. John also went to scout camp with Mitch to Maple Dell (by Payson) for the week where he earned several more merit badges! Travis and Alyssa enjoyed a week of gymnastics camp at the U of U. It was fun watching them. Travis is especially strong. You should see him climb the rope and whip himself around the bars! He's a monkey for sure The kids have now done a couple of weeks of swimming lessons, but still can't get enough of the water.
We are so excited for the family reunion and the river trip, and seeing all of YOU!!! Love, Emily

Dear Family,
Well, just as I stated in my last letter to the Lingo in May, Ariane graduated from high school and is working at “Cub Fort Frontier,” and Kevin left for his mission to Mesa, Arizona. May was an especially busy month for me because of these two. With all the senior graduation activities, awards programs, and other graduation stuff for Ariane, it was busy enough… then I had all the shopping with Kevin to do to make sure he was prepared with everything he needed going on all at the same time. He also had the huge task of cleaning out his room, going through all his stuff, organizing it, and packing it away for safe keeping while he’s gone for two years. He was feeling a lot of pressure to be totally ready by his deadline of when he entered the MTC on June 8th, exactly one week after Ariane’s graduation. I thought by now things would die down a bit, but I feel like I’m still catching up!
Way before Christmas, before Kevin submitted his papers for his mission, we reserved the first full week in June for our family vacation. At the time, it seemed like the best week for our family. As it turned out, Kevin’s MTC date fell right in the middle of that week. So we had to do some adjusting… it was just a good thing we didn’t plan on going out of state this year. We stayed at Wolf Creek in Eden, Utah, at the same condos we had sister’s week a few years ago. It was fun to relax in the same place for a few days with the family, playing games, watching movies, doing puzzles, and going for a hike. Taking Kevin to the MTC as a family in the middle of that week was the highlight of our vacation.
Our 4th grandchild was born the evening of June 20th, named Benjamin Loyd Tomlinson. Ariane and I were able to spend last weekend with Jason’s family, helping them with a few chores around the house and holding the baby a lot! Their children are so precious, smart, and lots of fun. The week before when Alan, Penny, James, and I were able to spend a day, Becky commented about how her other three were unusually “energized” the whole time we were there. They were just naturally excited to have family come and visit, excited because of their new sibling, and loving the extra attention grandpa and grandma gave them.
Marcus celebrated his halfway mark just yesterday! He is currently serving in Eastbourne which is south of London on the coast. He has some promising investigators and a good companion.
Kevin has been in Mesa just two weeks. He likes his “trainer,” his first companion in Mesa. And naturally, he doesn’t like the extreme heat! He said it was 116 degrees when he stepped off the plane.
Penny and Heather spent almost a week in Alberta, visiting their mission areas and attending the sealing of one of Penny’s investigators who was baptized during her mission. I’m anxious to hear all about their trip as soon as they return tomorrow!
Alan was released as a member of the stake high council and called as the new Stake Executive Secretary! He was also given a special assignment from the Oquirrh Mountain Temple President to serve as Baptistery Coordinator for Saturday mornings. These assignments were given within a week of each other, so needless to say, Alan has felt a bit overwhelmed but grateful for the confidence the Lord has in him to take on these responsibilities. Because of this new calling in the stake, he has to be able to communicate not only by e-mail and telephone, but also by texting. So he upgraded his phone, got some lessons from his children, and is now texting the stake presidency to communicate to them about their appointments. I think he’s enjoying having a good reason to have to keep up on technology!
We hope everyone is well! We look forward to the reunion.
Love, Dorothy

Hello Lindgrenites!
Aloha from Seattle and happy summer to all of you! Hopefully you're all enjoying some easy-breezy time in the sun, or at least experiencing a bit of warmth in your neck of the woods.
The last couple of months have been a busy time for the Gilberts. Finn ended school but has already attended one week of summer day camp (3 hours a day) and a week of drama day camp--so least to say he's keeping busy. He also just finished up soccer and T-ball practice in June, ending with an exciting Mariner's baseball game on Father's Day--and the Mariner's actually won! And for as boring as baseball games can be, Finn stuck it out for most of the game.
Harper is talking up a storm and enjoys wrestle mania with Finn and Daddy, having bubbles blown in the backyard, reading a ton of books, and getting into trouble at every chance she gets. Her hair's getting longer and she's gearing up to being a gymnast or a stuntwoman or something physical like that. She's a handful but she sure is fun!
I started a new role at work and have started taking on the movie programming for XBOX Live for the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Mexico (up from just programming for AUZ). So least to say my job has gotten ridiculously busier, but the days go by faster and I get to do some pretty cool stuff for work, like watching movies. Can't beat that!
Angela started leading a PEPS group for new moms of babies starting around 6 weeks old, spreading her wide wealth of knowledge about all things babies to others in the community. She's also keeping herself and the kids busy with tons of activities during the week, ensuring that there's never a dull moment and always an opportunity to learn something new.
We're really looking forward to our week-long camping trip / family reunion in a few weeks--we're getting ourselves ready by getting in weekly hikes and a few camp trips. Once we hit Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, we'll all be seasoned pros!
Can't wait to hear about everything you're doing and can't wait to see ya at the reunion!
Love,
Ammon, Angela, Finn & Harper

Hi everyone,
I returned from India on July 13 and proceeded directly to graduation at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I was awarded a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology. Mom and Dad were there, and it was nice to have them visit me for the first time. It's too bad they couldn't have stayed longer.
I've been dealing with a lot of transition. I was pretty culture-shocked the first three weeks. It didn't help that Daniel was working graveyard shifts. Thankfully, he's switched to days as of yesterday. I've been struggling a bit with lack of structure from not having school or a job and from living in a relatively isolated location. However, I'm delighted that I've been hired as a Community Representative for Ayusa, an organization that facilitates foreign exchange high school students. My job is to find host families and to negotiate with local high schools. It is part time work, but I think it is going to be fun and it’s something I believe in.
In the meantime, I'm trying to keep busy and enjoy the wonderful opportunities that present themselves in summer in lovely Western Massachusetts. I went to the Amherst Farmer's Market on Saturday and bought fresh, locally grown tomatoes, basil, and huge sunflowers for my best friend. I've been biking and I want to go more. Today I went swimming in a local pond with another close friend, and I've planted tomatoes and rosemary. A couple of weeks ago, I participated in my first LARP (Live Action Roleplaying), hosted by a friend. I'm looking forward to hiking, exploring, cooking, and playing more Settlers of Catan, and on Wednesday I think I'm getting a babysitting gig.
One of the more long-term goals I'm working on right now besides job-hunting is developing a coherent document of my vision for the non-profit I am working to establish. This has been my goal for about 5 years now, but now that I am out of school and I have more time and intellectual energy to devote to it, I think I am about to make much more progress.
I hope you're all having a great summer and enjoying the abundance of your local agriculture.

Dear Family,
Well, following up from last entry…amazed that Jennifer’s house sold so quickly and she is in Boise now…
I cashed in my Delta miles I collected over 20+ years and Jim and I went to Sarah’s UMASS graduation. We were scheduled to arrive after Sarah from India at JFK. A connection was missed in London and she arrived after we did, but her luggage did not make it. (That arrived by FED Ex days after). So we picked her up and drove up to Massachusetts, met Daniel at the corner gas station with her cap and gown and drove to the parking lot at UMass where we all caught a shuttle to the football stadium and at 4:55 pm Sarah jumped out and fell in line with her graduating class entering the stadium. Jim, Daniel and I found good seats and enjoyed the graduation, great weather and keynote speaker, Cady Coleman – an astronaut and UMass alum spoke from the space station. The live music was very impressive. Sarah had a cum laude asterisk by her name in the program. There were probably about 5,000 graduates. It was huge. The following day was the graduation for the School of Behavioral Sciences, where they read her name. It was indoors in the events center. It started to rain that day and rained the rest of the time we were in the East. Really enjoyed the time with Sarah. She and Daniel fed us good food, played Settlers of Catan, and showed us around beautiful Central Mass. We also drove up to Vermont, New Hampshire, adding four new states to my States I’ve Been In List (CT, MA, VT, NH) on this trip.
I enjoyed hearing Bryan’s piano solo at his school talent show. The student body voted him 2nd place, a very charismatic hip hop dancer took 1st. His performance singing A Hundred Years went beautifully. I was a very proud mom. Unfortunately the school recording had overpowering wind in the microphone, that we as an audience we did not hear. So you would have had to have been there. His accompanist was a very talented Ashley Allen. Her mother died of cancer June 30th and I attended the funeral with Bryan. It was one of those very uplifting and spiritual funerals.
Hyrum attended Summer Seminar at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland and came back a changed man. He has decided to not graduate early after all. He is going to stay in school and graduate with his class of 2013, taking all the hard classes he can, improve his ACT score (he already has a 28), and try to stay involved in Soccer and Acadec as he prepares to apply for Academy class of 2017. Since he is driving and working at McDonald’s he is pretty well grown up and independent.
Our stake joined with 5 others for a youth dance festival that Bryan was involved in. It was held at the Round Valley dome June 4th…in a haze a few days before the town was evacuated for the Wallow Fire that turned out to be the largest fire ever in the state of Arizona . Also June 4th was our annual Webelos Day hike. I went with Isaiah and enjoyed going up to a working forest lookout tower. The attendant there is a school teacher, spends his summers there to report any sign of fire. We could see the fire to the Southeast and the San Francisco Peaks to the North. It was amazing. That Wallow Fire changed the location of the tri-ward Scout Camp that Jim was involved in planning. It all turned out good except they weren’t allowed to use firearms of any kind, so they had to nix the rifle and shot gun merit badges.
The stake primary has the responsibility of Snowflake’s 4th of July flag raising program and breakfast. The speaker, Mary Law, mentioned attending school in the 40s or 50s when J Rufus Crandall was the music teacher. (That’s the name of the music award Bryan received). Riley was trying to help the missionaries put away the chairs and his foot (with shoe on) was run over by a full cart of chairs. It took his whole toenail off. So that was traumatic. He feels better now and enjoys all the attention.
Very much looking forward to being with you at the reunion.
Love, Priscilla

Dear Family,
Life is good so far in the "famous potatoes" state! We've lived here now for a couple of months – enjoying retirement! Steve's teaching me the slower pace of life that he's been used to. However, the days go by quickly. I have stuff to do every day! I have a list of projects that keep my days filled. Right now I'm working on painting a desk, chair and lamp (all white) to put in our future guest room. And I made a throw pillow and bought material ready to cover chairs.
First, however, there are things you need to do when you move, especially moving to a different state. We registered our vehicles which cost less than half that in California, AND good for two years! AND we didn't have to turn in our old plates AND we got our new plates handed to us right there, with no proof of identification. Funny thing is, the guy that was helping us used to live in Pittsburg, CA about 20 years ago. We also took our driver's license test (passed) and after three attempts, finally got an identification card for Stephanie (when you have to start from scratch it can be quite a hassle – don’t ever lose you id.)
We planted tomatoes, sweet peppers, basil and zinnias. All the lawns are green and lush-- plenty of irrigation keeps them that way. We've taken many neighborhood walks and walk by Lucy’s house daily (5 min. away). It’s so nice being neighbors with Lucy!
On Memorial Day we spent the afternoon with Lucy's extended family -- in-laws, cousins, siblings (all on Dave's side of the family). We enjoyed an outside BBQ/potluck meal and so I got to know Lucy's relatives a little better. I met most of them years ago, but they were all a lot younger and now they all have children.
The cats are fun. And sometimes don't know that they can hurt you when they’re playing. We have both been struck by sharp claws.
In June, Angela, Finn and Harper spent a week with us. We went to the zoo, the Nature Center, a few parks, and the Discovery Center. These places are all new to us too. We put a kiddie pool on the lawn for the kids to splash in. And then there's blowing bubbles for Harper. And she loves cats and loves to say "cat" "cat" cat". (The cats hid themselves almost the entire time the kids were here.) The kids are very active... they wear us out!
We watched a spectacular lightening/thunderstorm... it was awesome. Love this Idaho weather, although some days it's rather hot! I still feel like I'm on vacation – and pinch myself that I’m actually retired now! I enjoy mowing the lawn every week.
Steve and I went to a concert featuring a local band that played '50s, '60s and a little '70s music. It was great! It was at the Idaho Botannical Gardens -- a beautiful setting and the weather was perfect. It went until 9:30 and the sun was just barely starting to set. People were enjoying themselves dancing and we were amused.
I've made pizza from scratch a few times... trying to perfect the dough. I'm sure it'll take a zillion more times. Also, am trying some new recipes now that I have time to cook.
We got our plane tickets for next year to Italy (using mileage plan miles, so have to book it early!). Now I'm trying to teach myself a little Italian. As well as brush up on German - Steve has agreed to learn some German too!
Things are still slow in the building department -- we got the construction loan, but the final papers still need to be signed by the builder and approved by the City. So we just go with the flow and take one day at a time. I'm on the internet a lot looking at all kinds of things for decorating ideas, landscaping, etc.
We're totally hooked on Showtime's "Dexter" and have been watching it from Netflix - just finished Season 4.
People here are crazy about fireworks and there are fireworks that you can buy that are illegal -- it’s not illegal to buy them, just illegal if you light them…crazy, huh?
Looking forward to seeing you at the reunion.
Love, Jennifer & Steve

Dear Family,
I have a new project and need some help. I need to know the mission you went to and the time you left and the time you returned. This is for Jim Hanlon, Alan Tomlinson, Sharron Lindgren, Robert Moss, Preston Moss, Eric Kay, Jeff Troutman, Chris Lee, and Zachary Lindgren. A wallet size picture for that time period would be greatly appreciated.
The highlight lately is being able to be at the sealing of April and Ian in the Salt Lake Temple. Much love to both of you.
I have had a bout with water again.. these past months... Grateful to John Anderson for rescuing me and for Rick who takes care of the sprinklers.. My eyes are holding and I so appreciate my eyes. I’ve enjoyed the previous 85 years with them. Thank you Rick, Lucy, Jennifer for your calls. For Janet and Lynette. Thanks for caring. I am enjoying the cds of the biography of Pres. Thomas Monson that Dorothy has loaned me. Casey gives me a lift every time he mows the lawn. It looks so nice. He does a good job. Thanks Marty and Alan for their help with the cards and the work. It takes lots of help. Had a neat visit with Rick, Misty and family. It’s nice to see the great grandchildren . Proud of Kevin. May the Lord bless him on his mission. Congratulations to Jason and Becky and their new little one. Congratulations on the expectant mothers.
See you at the reunion... Love Grandma M.
