Jordon's 20th Birthday Party - the Pord

Jordon's Birthday Party. Jordon turned 20 years old on July 24th, and we had to still celebrate it even if he isn't here physically anymore. The morning started out like every 24th of July has..the amazing St. Anthony Parade. Kathy, and her children, Kristi and our family plus Molly watched the parade praying the entire time it would end soon, but glad the tradition is still alive. We then spent the afternoon wanting to float the river but no tubes so we Rigby Lake had to do. It was a lot of fun the McFarlands joined us there and before we knew it we needed to leave so we could make it back the Grandma Carols for Jordon's birthday celebration. We all sang Happy Birthday to Jordon, prayed, and toasted him hoping he could feel of our extra LOVE and HUGS on his birthday 6,000 miles away. Happy Birthday Son WE LOVE YOU!

Another Driver

Mason completed Drivers Ed this summer. One of his many requirements was to change a tire. He is actually a pretty good driver but the new rule is, all teens unless 18 have to drive with their parents for six months with their permit and then they can be on their own. So those of you that drive watch out Mason will be official January 16, 2011.

Vegas with the girls

Jocey, Carp and I decided to take a girls vacation after Jocey graduated. We ended up spending four days in Vegas. We definitely enjoyed the heat, laying by the pool and shopping but most of all resting our tired feet after walking for miles and miles and miles..... Vegas is a cool happening place but not like the tropics that is for sure. Good company made for fabulous times but next time girls vacation will happen way down south.

Rexburg Temple

A few weeks ago, there was a large fire out west of town. It burnt more than 30,00 acres and left the sky amazing hues of purples, blues, and reds. At little scary to tell you the truth but beautiful. My sister-in-law took this photo of the Rexburg Temple.

The Missionaries

Jordon and Mark are both out serving the Lord and we couldn't be happier. Mark is serving in Mexico and Jordon is in Brazil. We have only received a handful of emails from him so far and it sounds like he is doing great. The last time he came out of the Temple he saw green parrots sitting on palm trees....how cool would that be.
