Reunion June 25, 2011

 Marcie made this gorgeous quilt to be raffled off.

 Mike cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for 100 people and Marcie and the boys helped, THANK YOU!

 Merrick, Marcus, and Mason stayed with us for a few days while Misty, Dan and McKy were at youth conference

 The 3 Musketeers:  Austin, Mason, and Devan who ran the fish pond.  (Uh, looks like I caught Aunt Ruth in the background again!)

Aunt LuAnn and Uncle Brent being themselves!  They were a great help too!

And the winner of the quilt was.....
Me!  I was stunned and so was Marcie!  I'm so glad it's staying in the family.  Marcie worked a long time on it!

HAPPY 38 MISTY!

I love how you teach your boys. Your monthly tithing, fast offerings, mission fund, and savings accounting with them is admirable.  Your work ethic is wonderful, not only with you but with the boys.  How you do the yard work with them and hold down a job, keep up the house, and church callings is amazing!  We love you and hope you have a GREAT DAY!
