Oops I forgot all about this!!!




So I'm just sitting here watching mom look at every body's blogs and then it dawned on me that we haven't updated our blog in a very long time. Here is mom's flower bed. This is the most tulips that she has ever seen.

This next picture is how green everything is here in Cokeville. I've never seen it so green below the house. It is because of all of the rain we have gotten. In fact, it is raining again. It has rained at least two days a week. Not just a little, but a lot. The weather is cool and not to hot. We still don't have our garden put in. It froze a couple of days ago, so maybe it is all for the better. If you look closely, you can see the llama. Yes, we have a llama. Actually it's our nephew Mike's llama. It protects the bum lambs. We call her Tina, You Fat Lard. She is going to have a baby and is a really curious animal. Kind of fun to watch.


Last week we had our volleyball camp here in Cokeville. We had Utah States women's volleyball coach come and do our camp. He is a friend of Bill's. He was sooo fun to be with. He made us all feel at home. The camp lasted for six days. He also brought one of his assistants and one of his players. His assistant is Taubi Neves from Burlington. You old Cokeville players will remember her. She actually did a pretty good job. While at the dinner table I was taking some pictures to send to Brady. Grayson DuBose (USU's coach) said he would be happy to take a picture of the family, so here is a picture of us all at the dinner table. This week Bill is doing a camp over at Bear Lake. It is just a morning camp from 7:00 to 10:00. McKenzie is going with him.

The missionaries came out to the house because one of the missionaries is from Spain. He also happens to be from Burgos, Spain. That is where Kandyce served her mission. In fact, she met this missionary's parents and they asked her to look for him. Funny how everything works out. Kandyce was able to talk to him in the "pure" Spanish. Kandyce is off doing camps all over right now. She does come home for the week-ends. She hasn't been feeling to well lately. She's scared because she doesn't know what is going on with her body. We have an appointment set up for her to see a specialist. Keep her in your prayers. The missionary from Spain is the one in the middle.

Of course this blog can't be complete with out a report from Brady. He is still in Jelgava, Latvia. He is the presiding elder there. His companion is Elder Palmer from Salt Lake City. He sent us some pictures, so we decided to post one. He is doing real well. He baptized his two African friends in May, plus one other young man from Latvia. He loves his mission and his testimony of the Atonement has grown a lot. He will be out a year come July 5th. His cousin Trevor is in the MTC right now. He will be leaving for Milwaukee the end of the month. Tomorrow there will be three missionaries from Cokeville at the same time in the MTC. Trevor, Logan Briggs, and Cameron Hoffman leaves tomorrow. That will leave Cokeville with 12 missionaries out in the field.
