Dear Family,
It feels like things are happening fast in our family. Kevin returned home June 4. The last 1 ½ months of his mission he got a new companion and was called to be a district leader for the second time. He continued to leave a musical spiritual message occasionally at some of the homes they’d visit…. Kevin would play the piano and his companion would sing. At our sacrament meeting when he gave his homecoming talk, he accompanied Alan and Daniel as they sang “Come Ye Disconsolate” which they did beautifully and really added to the spirit of the meeting. It was wonderful to have so much support from family and friends of Kevin at both the “Welcome Home Party” for him Saturday night and then the next day at church.

It was also very nice to be able to attend John & Sharron’s ward where they both gave excellent talks at their “farewell.” It was fun for me to visit with so many old friends after the meeting… like a mini ward reunion. We enjoyed the continued visiting when we went over to John’s home afterward. I love occasions like this that draw our family together.

We are very proud of Penny in graduating from Utah Valley University the end of April. She’s our 5th college graduate!! She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Community Health.

so proud of you!

the new college graduate

April 26

that's MY cousin!

We enjoyed watching Heather perform in the ensemble of Orem Scera’s “Hello Dolly during April. She’ll be leaving this weekend for two weeks in Nauvoo where she will be a member of the “Family Cast” for the Nauvoo Pageant for a week of performances. It’s fun to see Heather get herself involved in so many fun adventures.

Daniel grew out his mustache and beard on purpose so he could be in the final casting in May of the Church’s Bible videos. He said it took a couple of days and that the whole experience was worth it. Since then he’s trimmed his facial hair, but now he’s waiting to see if he’ll need to keep it or shave it for “The Scarlet Pimpernel” which will be performed in August at the outdoor Scera Schell theater in Orem.

Hooray! It is here!!!

Can't wait to open it!

Ariane moved home from Orem the end of April. She is now working in the delicatessen at Fresh Market in Taylorsville. Hooray for earning some money towards her mission! Speaking of which, she received her call just this past week… she’ll be going to Knoxville Tennessee, entering the MTC in Provo August 14th. So we are going to have to move fast so she’ll be ready in less than 7 weeks!!

Marcus is working at Little Caesars, making pizza. He’s hoping to continue his schooling at Salt Lake Community College this fall.

Jason and Becky have been working all during June to prepare their new home to move into next month. We’ve all helped them somewhat with a variety of jobs, but especially Heather, Kevin, Marcus, and Ariane. When they haven’t been working at their other jobs, they’ve been doing a lot of cleaning, priming, and painting. You may have seen the “before” pictures Becky posted on facebook awhile back, but just wait until you see the “after” pictures of their new house! You’ll be amazed.
