The Hill Air Force Air Show Practice on Friday June 5,2009. My Dad got us all into the show on the day before because he is part of the medical personal. We had a lot of fun. I was not feeling well. But Shelby, Jacob, Rachel, Shannon, Cohen, Robert, Luke, Kate, Grandma and Grandpa had a great time.
We had tickets to the REAL Soccer game that we had purchased a while ago. Shelby was going to be gone on her cruise so we invited Richie to come with us. When we got there Carson was there also so we swapped Rachel and Carson and took the three boys. They were a lot of fun. It was sort of cold especially for June in Utah. We had a great time. Richie stayed with us until Monday. He and Jacob play really well together.
Kelsy, Jeff and Aubree were here for a brief visit for Jeff's aunt's funeral and so Derrek took Aubree and Jacob climbing on a wall here in Brigham City. Jacob and Derrek have enjoyed having real rock close to climb on. They have had to put in anchors etc to make it usable but they have loved doing it. All the hands off pictures Jacob takes are for my purposes only. He loves to show me how brave and skilled he is getting. It just stresses me out. But Derrek assures me all is safe.
Grandma Andrus and New Niece Chloe. Isn't she adorable. Rich and Mir were here quick for a wedding we got together and had a lot of fun. We love our family. Rachel and Zach especially enjoyed each other. They played together so cute.
Derrek was asked to do a patriotic ceremony for a group of boys at Priesthood training camp for my Dad. He chose to do a roll call "solider's cross" It is very powerful and he was able to dedicate it to his friend who did not get to come home from Iraq. These opportunities are good for him to serve others through his military service.
Father's Day was a wonderful day for our family. We love the Daddy of our family. The children do a great job making things for Derrek and then disguising the presents with blankets for a great surprise for him. Derrek has wanted a basic photography studio for quite a while. We picked one out over a year ago that had lights, stands and muslin's for a realativly decent price. I would rather have the gear and do pictures when I want rather than pay the local place a mint every six months. We have been saving our pennies ever since. Of course many other things have come up that have taken the saved amount and then we have had to start over, but I got some extra $ for a project I did at school this year and it was perfect timing for Father's day. After we celebrated at our house we went to his parents for dinner and fun.
