This is my brother Andrew who talked Marc into sliding down with him. He took us to slippery rock. He knows the guy that owns the property where this waterfall is. We had to hike about an hour to get there and it was sooo hot. Then the water was freezing cold. But it felt good and we had tons of fun...even jumped off the cliff a little bit.

Playing with cousins is a must! My sister and I sat on the back porch swing while all the kids played in the backyard. This is what summer is all about! We talked and laughed all night long!

MTC
Yes...you can be jealous!!! Even though the mission home doesn't let families go in the MTC anymore, we recieved special permission to bring Tory early and walk him in. I've heard how strong the spirit is there, but you don't understand it until you've felt it. And the minute we drove in the parking lot we felt the wave of the spirit start. It was beautiful!! Here are Paige, Brynn and McKenna...future sister missionaries/wives of missionaries.
Tory is so blessed to have two huge families that love and support him. He's such a wonderful example to these future missionaries. Aren't they handsome!!! Whooo Hooo!!!
We are also so blessed to have Tory as our missionary.
After Tory was in the MTC for 2 wks the twins went to EFY just down the block at BYU. Everytime they saw the missionaries out they would scan "the crowd" for Tory. Then the day we picked up the twins from EFY we drove by the MTC and saw "the crowd" playing soccer. Tory had written us a letter saying he played soccer every morning for their excersize time. We drove through the parking lot, but we did not see him. ( Shhh, don't tell)

June Happenings
So much happened in the month of June, and I won't be able to blog about them all. But here a few fun things.. We took Jeff to a baseball game (Father's Day gift), where Jefferson paraded on the field with his team.
Watched the amazing Dance Festival, Firm Foundation, twice. The girls were amazing, all the dances were amazing and the spirit was so strong. I wish I could have watched it a third time. And of course, I cried at this dance performance too.

New Pots and Pans
For months, I have been asking, looking, researching, shopping, waiting for sales and saving for a new set of pans. I have been cooking on the same pans for 16 years. They were so old and used I'm sure we were eating flakes of the pan with our dinner...and they were becoming deformed. It's about time I got a new set!!!
I was so excited that I was singing and dancing around all day long. My kids have probably never seen me so happy. It's amazing was a little thing like a new, good pot will do!! (Some might agree in more ways than one.)
I opened the box, laid them and myself on the floor and just stared. I was also sooo excited to tell my family what an awsome deal I got too . Because I watched sales, and used just the right coupon I saved over $100 on this set, and I recieved to bonus pans!! I'm becoming quite the coupon shopper lately. They are absolutely as fabulous to cook on as I dreamed. I've been using them all week and I don't even mind hand washing them after dinner. In fact, I haven't even let the kids wash them yet. LOVE THEM!!! (The pans and the kids, of course)
