We had a busy week. So busy, I didn't do much picture taking. The big day was Monday when the kids had Cross Country. All of them qualified for the All-City race which is in a couple of weeks. They all did great and they have another race this week. We also sent our home study and papers to immigration. We expect to hear back within 4 - 6 weeks. I really do hate the waiting game. James and the kids have been gathering fire wood this week. They have been 5 times in the past 2 weeks. We have enough for this year and we have been setting logs aside for next. James went to the doctor and she cleared him for weight lifting and throwing. This was on a Thursday and this is how he celebrated on Friday. Racquetball in the am, weight lifting after that, slam dunk ball in the afternoon, and insanity in the pm. Saturday he played roller blade hockey with the kids between Conference sessions. I think he's been itching to get out there and play. Tony has worked 23 hours the last 2 days. One night he didn't get home til 2:45 in the am. I had a really hard time waiting up for him. I had a few cat naps in between Psych episodes. Shauna is loving her job and is now taking x-rays. She rides the bus to Cheney at 6:15 in the mornings and gets home at 4:00pm twice a week and at 6:00pm twice a week. On Fridays it is between 6 and 7pm. She is staying busy. The rest of the kids are busy as well and Levi is enjoying his time with mom. We run some errands once a week and we spent the day at the school last week helping with vision screening. He did really well with his snacks and gameboy and movie and coloring and just observing. We are all getting very excited for the arrival of Addy-Lee. Shiloh is due the 15th and Levi and I are going to stay a week with her. All in all, life is good. We miss you Shane and love you.
I forgot to post Father's Day. But we didn't forget to celebrate.
James got to sing with his family in Sacrament Mtng for Father's Day. What a great dad!
I also forgot pics of Tony's birthday cake. Yes, he decorated it.
I didn't know who Fancy Pants was.

Ali's choir concert. Smile Al!!!!
Ali sang a solo. A really hard song. All latin and nothing lower than a high A note.
Most the notes were above a high C. I was happy to see she didn't pass out. She has a very nice voice.
Combined Choir groups
Ali
The kids did a Mario skit. It was a huge hit! Mario seems to be the universal language.
Even the adults were recognizing scenes and making comments.
The whole group. I don't know why I don't have a pic of Josh's group. He sang a solo.
I must have Josh's dance on video.
