My brother and his wife in Russia....He is in the 2nd quorum of the Seventy and serving over the Russia area.

ADAM SKYDIVING

Adam went Skydiving Saturday August 22. It was fun for him but scary for me! I really hope I don't have to watch that ever again in my life. They took him up 17,000 feet and you couldn't even see the plane. Then they free fall for 1 minute until they open the shoot. He said it was a big rush and he was right. I never want that rush again!!! But I am glad he had fun. Don't do that to me again ADAM!!!!

HOLY TOLEDO!!

Rob and I had a great time in Toledo Ohio going back to see the latest grandchild....Little Robby.
Steven and Jenni are doing great and they live by a really pretty river about a block away. It was nice that alot of family could go. We took Ben back with us and Steven was happy to see his brother. Jenni's family brought her 3 brothers and her Mom and Dad and sister-in-law. Also,her sister Megan came from Switzerland.














CUTE LITTLE GUY!
















Steve's Campus in Toledo















I tore a ligament in my ankle walking in the Park and it kind of ruined the rest of the sight seeing thing for me. I guess it takes 6-8 weeks to heal and I have to tell you...it really hurts. And you get all that plus you feel like an elephant because your ankle swells times 3 and turns purple from all the bruising.

















The river by their house


















Ben and Steven and Jenni and the baby
















Jared Hiatt and his lovely wife Malissa and their darling little girl Olivia came up from Michigan to be with us on the blessing day. He is attending Med school in Michigan



















They have this little bakery around the corner and it is very good!!
















THE WHOLE GANG ON THE BLESSING DAY.

SWEET BABY!!!

Proud Parents!!

I watched my daughter's little girl this week...Rylee. Love her to death!! Liz went to get her hair done. When she came home she told me that she and her hairdresser were visiting about how long they have been married and it dawned on Liz that it was her Anniversary that day!!! Aug 6. Funny thing, her husband forgot as well! She hurried and called him and they made a date to go out to dinner that night!!! Happy Anniversary Liz and Justin. Hope you don't forget next year!!! Thats what you get when you are so busy that you can't even think!!! Slow down!!

MUD VOLLEYBALL!!!!!

AS many of you know.....I am the Young Women's President in my ward. We have an annual event of flinging mud at each other!! It is suppose to be mud volleyball but I never saw a ball. We did have alot of fun though and I hear mud is good for the skin????? It left a film on my hair for several days!!!

Steven and Jenni had a bouncing baby boy this week....he weighed 8lbs 8oz. We are very happy for them. They of course are very excited!!! They have been married 4 years now. Rob and I are going to Toledo Ohio this week to see the little guy.
Congratulations Steven and Jenni. He arrived just in time!!! Steven has a summer break before starting his 2nd year of Med. School!!! Good Timing!
