First of all, let me thank Laurie for the hours she has put into getting this blog newsletter put together. Even though it is a little different from a standard newsletter, it creates the opportunity for even more communication for those who want. For those who are used to the traditional, it can be the same. If anyone wants the entries printed out and snail mailed to them, so that it feels like the old newsletter, just let me know and I will do that for you.
For an update on how the Draper Moons are doing, Laurie has worked her fingers to the bone for a month getting Donna moved out of her house. Inspite of finding dead mice and getting ring worm, she was there almost every day for about a month.
Laralyn enjoys her love life here and writing to her missionaries out there. She is a little worried about what is going to happen when her missionaries get home and she has to manage them all being here at the same time. Bethany is having fun getting or having her mom buy for her all her fun things she will need when she is on her own at Utah State, like her own toaster, which by the way can also cook an egg.
Austin, can't stand the fact that I won't take him driving. School starts soon and he will be taking drivers education. He is old enough to have a permit, but I won't take him down to get one until I see some changes in his behavior. He is having a hard time making the changes (like arguing about everything, typical teenager). I'm in no hurry to pay for auto insurance on a teenage boy.
Macall has been the most active this summer with Oakcrest Girls Camp, Youth Conference, Girls Camp, and now this next week she is going to EFY. She has been pretty moody lately, maybe it is all the instability this summer. Oh well, I hope she has a good experience at EFY, I know it has been good for her older brother and sisters.
Bryce gets to go to boy scout camp this week and he is very excited about it. He is planning to learn how to drive an airplane and swim in a cold lake. Those represent the high and the low of his upcomming week, no pun intended but accurate just the same.
Shane got to go to cub scout camp this past month and had a great time. Miranda and Mollie just love to play. I am tearing out my cement in the backyard, and Miranda has been a great help. She is not afraid of hard work. She likes to be with her Dad and I don't mind the support. Mollie just likes being her own person. You will usually find her in her swimming suit running from one neighbor's pool to another, usually without permission. Laurie spends a lot of her time just trying to keep track of Mollie.
For me, I don't know if you read Laurie's last entry where she tried to embarass me, and yes I probably did blush a little. But I was just glad to know that Laurie thinks I'm hot, or at least she inferred that she did. Love ya, Laurie. I think you are HOT too!
I hope everyone has a great August and enjoys getting ready to go back to school.
