Shield Safety owners and Skyler

Skyler has had a lot of success with his eagle project. He has been working hard at getting donations from businesses, ward members, and family. Joe delivers to Shield Safety a company on his route and asked them if they would be able to help us. We got a very generous donation from Shield Safety. The items they donated were medical gloves, batteries, hand sanitizer, and all the first aid kits with supplies. They also gave us the rope, poncho, emergency blankets, flashlights, and glow sticks at cost. We would like to Thank Shield Safety for their support and help with this project. We appreciate it more than words can say. Lastly, if any of you need any kind of emergency supplies for your home or business, I would recommend looking up Shield Safety. It was well worth it for us.

Float Preview

Mariah's favorite float

in front of our families favorite float.

This year for family night we decided we would go to the float preview party since Joe was going to have to work on Pioneer Day; July 24. It was much nicer to look at the floats in an air conditioned building than in 100 degree heat. We decided that float #6 was our favorite. We had a fun time and even got some balloons from the clowns. Cayden's was supposed to be a spider but looked more like an Octopus.

Riding 4 wheelers

(Can you see how black the sky was??)

The day after the temple open house, we went to our friends the Franz's for a barbeque. After the barbeque the kids and Joe went for a ride on the 4 wheelers. Me and Tiffanie were in the house and we heard a whistling sound and went outside to see what it was. A storm had blown in and it was windy and raining very hard. Christian, Joe, and all the kids were nowhere to be seen. So, me and Tiffanie got in the car and went to rescue them from the rain. We were unable to find them and so we went back to the house. When we got back to the house we saw headlights coming our way and it was them. They had all rode up to the highway and were drenched and wind blown but at least they were OK. Thanks for a fun time on the 4 wheelers.

Our family had the opportunity to attend the Oquirrh Temple Open House on July 18. We invited our neighbors who are Catholic to come with us. I think they had a good time and felt of the spirit while we were there. I am grateful we were able to attend and share some of our beliefs with our friends. The temple was beautiful. My favorite part were the chandeliers that were star shaped. Afterwards we went to Leatherby's for Ice Cream.

Me and My Sister's...

"ME"

I usually don't like pictures of myself but I thought this one was pretty good.

Me and Sherrie (2nd oldest)

Amy (3rd oldest) and Julie

Here are some of the pictures we did as a surprise for my Mom's birthday. As you can see...yes I am the oldest, and fattest out of all of us. I am also, the only one with curly hair. I don't know how I got so lucky...I wish one of my sisters had the luck and not me. I wish we could all get along like we did when we were taking these. Somehow with 4 sisters there is always some kind of drama. We actually really had a fun time and enjoyed one another's company. I hope all my sisters know how much I love them.

This year for my Mom's birthday we decided to have everyone over for a barbeque. We got it all ready to go in our backyard and when we decided to eat, a storm blew in. We ended up moving everything and everyone into the house. It all worked out good and My mom was very happy to have all her children together. We took some pictures of all my Mom's grandkids and surprised her with a big picture of me and my sisters. We also gave her a photo album with the prints in, so that she could take it to her work and show all the ladies. We hope you had a Happy Birthday Mom. We love you.
