Here are some pics!!

So I've been gone doing volleyball camps and attending coaching clinics and Ellen doesn't know how to do all of this stuff. I guess I should show her how to update things. Kandyce and I just got back from Roosevelt Utah doing a camp at Union High School. It was a blast. The girls who were there worked hard and the coach really wanted to learn the system. The week before I attended a Gold Medal coaching clinic in Provo, Utah. I stayed with my nephew Derrick and his wife Sheila. It was a very good clinic. I learned a lot and hope to be able to apply what I've learned to help the team do well this coming year.

Having Shari and Lilli here has been GREAT!! Of course Lilli just loves grandpa. Brady is doing well on his mission. He will have been gone exactly one year tomorrow. He is now a district leader and he has a new mission president. He is still in Jelgava and is having some good experiences. McKenzie and Kennan are sort of busy taking care of the lambs. This next week McKenzie has Youth Conference. They are doing a trek. Tonight is the annual fireworks show. I'll take some pictures of the Thompson fireworks show and put them on later.

While I was gone, mom took everybody up Pine Creek to take some pictures and I thought I would share them with you. If you want to see more pictures of Lilli, go to Shari's blog and she made a slide show of Lilli.

These next two pictures of McKenzie and Lilli going to feed the lambs. As you can see by the second picture, apparently Lilli actually came away with an empty bucket, so she must have fed the lambs.

The next pictures are of the kids up Pine Creek. I like the looks that McKenzie and Lilli are showing while watching the water race past them.

I also like the next picture of all three sitting by the creek.

This last picture is in front of the lilac bush by Gram's house. With the wet spring, the lilacs were out in force. We haven't had this many lilacs forever. Of course I just had to have the other two flowers in there.
