Sunday morning and all is quiet, much has happend this month, summer vacation, trip to LV to attend Darleens deployment party. Scout camp for Colton, setting up the pool, Trek for Tanner and Tiara, Fathers Day and my 66th Birthday. ALREADY.. The trip to vegas was quick but good so glad that we went, just ron and I. When you get to be my age you want to have no regrets and so was so glad we were able to visit with the family and see Dee before she left for Afghanistan. She is a remarkable young lady and seems to be handling it well, some homesickness and even scary things to look forward to but very brave.

My bday came and went celebrated by going out to dinner and doing nothing else. Fathers day, those who live here came for dinner and we had a great time. Our numbers are growing, and I mean growing up and it is quite the gang. Colton went on a 3 day camp and worked on his survival skills, and Tanner and Tiara took a pioneer trek and pulled handcarts and slept out in the open and got plenty dirty. They pretty much tried to be like the handcart companies with everything they had in a handcart and pulling it 17 miles or so. It seemed to be a great experience for all. Also to make the month even greater, found out I am going to be a great grandmother for the first time(Karissa and Nate) and my sweet Becki will be having #3, both Becki and Karissa have been very sick, but hopefully this too shall pass. I have so much to ber greatful for. Can't forget that Mac also took a scout trip down the Green River they canoed and Mac is a little tired of the water. Cecilee went to Lake Powell for girls camp, can you imagine. The greatest news is Hunter is back hearing again, they fixed his implant and turned it back on this week, now he can hear us. The Box family has been truly blessed, God is looking over us and keeping us safe, but not without trials.

Well alot has happened over the summer and school starting, hunting fishing, halloweening and many other great activites, birthday Sundays and etc. Its all about family.

School is out and summer vacation starting. Haven't accomplished much yet, headed to see the kids in Vegas. Going down for Darleens deployment party, she will be headed for Afghanistan, hard to believe she is so grown up and going to a foreign country to protect our freedom and help others secure theirs. A very proud grandmother. I am also going to get another grandchild and a great grandchild at the end of the year. My nephew David became a grandfather in April and went to little Keltons blessing today, his mom is Jessica. Tanner and Tiara are getting ready to go on trek, I wish my health was such I could go with them, but it should be a great experience for them. Life is good and finally we have warm weather in Utah, trying to get the pool up so the kids can stay cool.
