-Trevor & Charmayne-Well, we survived the family reunion. It was nice to see everyone again. We're stayed pretty busy this month. Trev took the car to 3 shows and got 3 first place awards. We even beat out one of our best customers. Put a little motivation for him to improve, yeah! Schools out and Kinny was bored the day after we got back from the reunion. So Trevor had Kalli give him a Mohawk the day before he went to his grandmother's house for the week. Try explaining that one. Nick is now in the 4th grade and his teacher has moved him up to 5th grade math. We're very proud of all their accomplishments in school. Now if we can only get them to do their chores!!!

Hello all of you Hunter Clan!
We are writing from our home in Riga, Latvia. I am sure all of you know that we are on a mission here. We have been out about six months already. Latvia is part of the three Baltic Nations. The other two are Lithuania, which is probably the prettiest, and Estonia, which is by far the most interesting on a political level and a cultural level.
We are working with institute age youth. We have met many of them here in the Baltics. They come from broken homes, homes with alcoholic parents and siblings, and still even with these horrible circumstances, the depth of their testimonies never cease to amaze us. They call themselves the Baltic Pioneers and in a very real sense, they are pioneers. It will probably be their kids that will really make a mark in the Baltics as far as the church is concerned.
We are really sorry we were not able to attend Hunter Family Reunion this year at good ol Rucker Lake. It's always fun to see and talk with everyone. We have heard that everyone is doing good. Three new babies including a set of twins. Pretty cool, or as the Latvians say, (forši) We love them already, sight unseen. Well we must go love to all, see you in a year or so.
With love, LaMont and Evy

-Melisa & Tye-Hi Hunter Clan!! We're still here in Las Vegas Nevada waiting for all of you to come visit us. You know you have free room and board if you ever want to come see the entertainment capitol of the world!! (Who could turn that down??) We heard the reunion was a blast. We were sad we couldn't make it. We'll shoot for next year! Last I heard from my mom and dad, all was well. They are enjoying things so much. My little family is doing good. We are pretty boring. No broken bones, of kids falling out of two story windows or anything. No baby on the way, or move in the future, but we'll keep you posted!! Oh for those of you who haven't heard...Tye passed the Nevada bar!! Hooray!! So...If anyone needs legal help after your stay in Vegas, we’ve got that covered too!! We love you all!!

-LAYNE & FRANKIE-We had a great time at family reunion. THANKS Greg and Lisa!
Layne was sustained last Sunday as the President of the Sequoia Branch. We have been in the Selma Ward for 22 years so the call came as quite a surprise. It is about a 45-minute drive from our home up in the foothills towards Kings Canyon National Park.
Rob blessed Elizabeth May Fransen (6-9-07) at the branch because there were several family members visiting. Next week most of us will be in Twin Falls for Daniel Nichols' baptism and then on to Pleasant Grove for Annabell's blessing.
Congratulations to the parents of the newest Mortimers.

-Rebekah and Seth-Well, summer is finally here and of course it is flying by. We had a great time at Family Reunion. We were sad to miss so many family member were unable to attend. Perhaps next year? We hope so!
As many of you may know Seth & Rayanna are in Bakersfield!!! They are actually living across the street from us for the next 6 months or so. Just till their house is done. Then they will be about 2 miles away. We are so excited!!! So now when you visit or pass through it will be twice the fun!
We will be visiting Utah and Idaho during the month of July and if we don't get to see those of you who live there, we will be thinking of you and wishing we had more time. Till next month!
-Caleb & Ashley--Kara & Michael- -Jeremy & Leslie-Jeremy and Leslie Hunter will be
blessing their baby, Anabel Mryteen Hunter on
July 15 in the pleasant grove 4th ward at 1:00 pm.
All are invited to attend.
-Benjamin & Megan--Matthew & Karali- -CALVIN & DONNA-There is NOTHING to report from the Calvin Hunter household. LaMont saw a blue cow. Natalie got married and Donna HAD a cow. We were thankful to see that Neil and his beautiful family were able to come to Natalie's second reception in the beginning of June. It was a delight. Is Beau having a reception or anything? Anybody?
What else IS there?
Donna is the new Primary President.
Belva Burgess had a big birthday party in Redding a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to go, but was working - American Legion baseball. I remember now.
Emma is still working at JC Penny and going to Shasta College...
Alexandra is ... well... she's a bum. What can I say. It's summer and she and Sam are BUMS! And I love it.
No triple digits in Redding yet- but they say it will be 105 on the 4th of July. WooHoo! Summer's really here!
All is well.

-Damien & Kacey-
-Meredith & Bill- -Hillary & Jason-Hunters! We are so sad we missed the
Hunter reunion but heard it was fun. The Rogerson's
have been busy in the month of June but really just from
the same old stuff. Hillary's trying to unpack boxes one
at a time around three little kids and Jason's still working
full-time and doing school full time. He gets a month off
school in July and we are ALL looking forward to it. For
those of you who have not heard we are expecting a fourth
little Rogerson due CHRISTMAS DAY. I know, I know...
we know how crazy we are but we're super excited. The
girls are excited at the possibility of having a... what are
they called again? Oh yeah, a boy, but we won't know
until that baby's here. Love to all! -Cayle--Sarah & Ryan- -Natalie & Jared- -SHEILA & LYLE-Dear family, It was so nice to see most of you at the reunion. We were only there for a minute because the twins were born on Thursday night. They are so beautiful. Everything you could want. They are for sure identical, dark straight hair etc. It was nice to know everything was o.k. Thank-you Greg and Lisa for all your work. We love you all, and hope you all have a great summer. The Mortimers
-Jenna & Kevin- Hi Family! We are doing great down here in AZ.
Kaden (10), Hunter (9) and Gavin (6) are enjoying swim team and
swim lessons this summer. They had their first 2 meets, but Kaden
couldn't participate because he got stitches on his leg. (He crashed
trying to jump a bike ramp.) We are on the countdown for baby
number 5. I'm due in 7 weeks...and counting. We are very excited.
Kevin has been laying a wood floor in her room and the walls are
the perfect shade of pink. Gavin will be 7 this Sunday and we are
having fun planning a "pirate" party. Kellan (3) is just excited to be
a big brother. He's been saying the funniest things lately. The
latest one was, "Mom, you're AMAZING! Your body can open
up and the baby can come out. You are TRICKY!" I am always
laughing with him around. Well, Love you all!!! Have a wonderful
4th! Love, Jenna and Fam. -Spencer & Shanille--Wendi & Aaron- -Adam & Moana-
This was the best month ever for us!!! The Twins... Kenneth & Chandler arrived on June 14th, 2007! It was an awesome pregnancy, everything went well and the babies are healthy as can be! We couldn't be any happier. Adam got a Father's Day present just in time! Life is perfect! We love you all, have a great reunion!... Love, Adam & Moana & The Boys

-Bryce & Jessica-Jessica and I are doing fantastic.
We’re teaching Voice Lessons. Well, Jessica is
and I’m the designated piano player. It’s been a
lot of fun. I’m riding on a little scooter to and from
work. Believe it or not, it saves about $200 of gas a
month. Jessica’s van is a gas hog, and she drives
just as much as I do going to and from work. So, I
ride a scooter (70 MPG) and she takes the car. We’re
both working getting ready for school. I’ll be
starting at UVSC this fall. Going into Information
Systems. This covers computer programming,
website design, finance, marketing and business
management. Sounds interesting.
Well, I hope you’re doing well have a great July!
