-Kalli & Terry- July flew by! We are enjoying time with dad home and Kasen here. We had a great time at Cayle and Katie's wedding and boy did they look happy! It was great to see my kids playing so well with Hillary's (see pic). We look forward to the last month of summer with the fair, Paij and Haylee coming to visit, a three baby family blessing, Tayla's b-day, and what ever else comes along. Hope you're all as happy and healthy as we are! Love you!

-LAMONT & EVY-Hi Hunter Family;
Being on a mission is great. Being home from a mission is also great but probably the harder thing to do. We are home and having fun trying different things to bring in a few shekels here and there.
We got home just a few days after family reunion, and now we had promised Jamyn we would watch her kids while they went on an Alaska Cruise so we weren't able to get to Cayle's wedding. So again we missed the family get together. What you would think is that... but it's not true. We love you all and are sorry we couldn't get to the wedding.
Evy and I are back in seminary. We don't know what class we teach yet but are grateful to be back in the early morning classroom. We really enjoy it. This will be our 13th year of teaching seminary.
I'm back to playing racquetball but it dogs me. Either I am old or way out of shape. We play every Saturday morning if any of you are passing through stop by and shoot a game.
Congratulations on your new calling Uncle Lyle. You will be a great Bishop. The ward members are lucky to have you there.
Love to all. See you soon we hope.
LaMont and Evy

-LAYNE & FRANKIE-I can't remember if I wrote a note before we left. We enjoyed Utah. The weather was great. Sheila is a wonderful cook.
We toured the Twin Falls Temple. Today Joseph is going to be baptized. We leave for Seattle on Monday.

-Rachel & Rob- Hello Everyone, Summer is going good. Our house is moving along at a good pace. We are all enjoying the time off school. We don't do much but swim, clean house and drive each other crazy but it is fun. I hope everyone else is doing great.

-Kara & Michael-Dear Family,
We have been busy here with the temple open house. We have had days that we have served as Ushers and security. It has been fun to see all the people that are coming to see the temple. There is a buzz in the newspaper about the few protesters. I think if nothing else they are bringing more people to the temple because people want to know what all the hype is about.
A few weeks ago as I served for security with the temple open house I was again reminded about how small the world is. I was sitting in the office (classroom in the new stake center) visiting with my neighbors father. I knew they had lived in the Bay area for a while before moving here to Twin Falls so I asked a few questions. You know the do you know….. question. Well come to find out Grant Maughan (the man I was talking to) married Lynn Butler. Lynn ’s family was in the ward in Hayward with the Hunters’ from Oakley. I spoke with Lynn and she wanted to know how all the Aunts and Uncle were doing. She remembered that Uncle Neil and her pretty much had a standing date every weekend. Grandma Hunter was also Lynn ’s Young Woman’s leader. She could not say enough good things about grandma. Lynn said Grandma was here favorite leader and as she has served in young woman’s she has often thought about Grandma. The longer I am here in Twin Falls I am finding more people with little connections to the Hunter family.
The Open house continues though August 16, 2008 so if there is any family that would like to come we always have space for visitors and few extra places at the dinner table.
The summer is winding down. I go to a water aerobics class in the early morning and this morning it was cold and dark when I arrived. I thought to my self “ahhh” winter is coming and I can’t do anything about it. I guess I will just have to enjoy the warm afternoons for a little longer and bundle up a little more in the morning.
Take care,
Kara Nichols and famliy
-Jeremy & Leslie-Hi!
Jeremy and Leslie have moved and bought a house in provo utah the new address is 565 N 2740 W Provo, Utah 84601. Leslie is also expecting a new baby to join the family due January 14th 2009. We are currently installing a horseshoe pit in the back yard of our new house so watch out for family reunion time (hopefully we can make it next year.)
-Benjamin & Megan-
-Matthew & Karali-
-CALVIN & DONNA- I've always felt well about having my children drive. UNTIL NOW! I am sending this message to you to offer fair warning that Alexandra has a driver's license! THIS IS A PUBLIC RECORD FACT, SO YOU CAN VERIFY THIS CLAIM IF YOU WISH.
Why am I alarmed? No reason. But please, if you are traveling in Southern Utah or Northern Arizona in the next three months STAY OFF THE HIGHWAYS or find a professional (like a laid off Greyhound driver, or maybe a postal worker who already drives on the wrong side of the street, like Alexandra does) to shuttle you around. I wonder if we lived in Australia if Al would drive on the right side of the road, just to be a contrarian? Hmmm.
Northern Arizona because Al has gotten a full time job in Page AZ working for a former Redding couple who has moved there to teach school. They have a new baby and Al has a job to earn money to get her through BYU IDAHO, where she will go in the winter semester.
Thanks to each of you who were able to take the time to come up to Cayle's wedding. It was a lovely ceremony... well attended, and Neil will now have to put his eyeballs back in their sockets. He can explain why they were on his cheeks, if he wishes to do so. at some future date. Suffice it to say he was impressed with the loveliness of the Redding home where the wedding was conducted, all the the lovely shrubbery, etc. that was there.
I'm headed out to Utah soon for the annual FAIR conference that studies anti-LDS doctrines, their origins and the truth as we currently understand it. Very interesting stuff. I'm just the audio tech and recordist... but I get in free and learn a great deal every year.
Donna is up to much of the same. Sewed I think 27 wedding related items like dresses and so forth. Five dresses came out of it, I believe. But to hear her tell it she sewed enough (and ripped out enough seams) to have made a couple of dozen dresses!
Emma is still working in the Penny's catalog and Optical departments and attending a light school schedule.
Sam is enjoying his summer... working a little and playing a lot.
Sophie the wonderdog is well.
All the family was here for the wedding., All nine kids - all nine grandkids. Awesome. A sweet moment.
All is well.

-Hillary & Jason- July has been busy! Rogersons have been trying to stay cool in the heat- kids are always in swimsuits and ragamuffin but it's summer! They did manage to clean up and get dressed for Cayle's wedding. They looked like 3 little angel girls and my boy Max was wearing pants that were too small so we tried to pull them off as shorts... yeah. The wedding was beautiful! Katie is a supermodel of a bride and Cayle is the luckiest man on earth! She's as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Cayle looked so handsome and happy. I think Katie lucked out too:) My bro happens to be pretty amazing. Thank you to all the family who came- It was wonderful to see you and share the evening with you. I wish I had been able to spend more time with you. And Race- I'm still waiting for you to text me! Love to all!
-Cayle & Katie-
-Sarah & Ryan- Ryan and Sarah McMullin: We just got back from Cayle's wedding, which was beautiful and SO much fun! It was great to see those of you who could come. As for us here in Houston, it's just a busy summer of work. Ryan's busy with Pointe Pest Control, and I'm interning at the Department of Homeland Security in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement division. The work is fascinating, and I get to meet all sorts of interesting characters. Just one more month, and it's back to school in the fall. Hope everyone is well and enjoying their summers!

-SHEILA & LYLE-
-Jenna & Kevin-We just went to meet the teacher night. School starts on Monday the 4th of August. The summer flew by! I’m trying to get geared up for structured life again. Gavin will get baptized next Saturday! I’m giving more budgeting classes for the stake. They are thinking of doing the class monthly. I don’t know if I can think of that many things to say. :) Kevin’s work has really slowed down, so he is working hard on getting more work. We had a blast visiting the family in Utah! We are all happy and healthy! I hope you all are, too! Love, Jenna and Family
-Spencer & Shanille-
-Wendi & Aaron-
-Adam & Moana- We had a fun month full of family reunions and parties. Our twin boys Kenneth & Chandler are both walking now! Luckily they still stick together and aren't running in separate directions (not yet at least!) For the 4th of July we went to the Stadium of Fire and saw the Blue Man Group and Miley Cyrus perform. Lyle's company had a party and we got to go horseback riding. We went to Lyle's family reunion and had a blast there. We also went to a natural spring swimming pool. It was freezing cold but so fun! Last week we saw Abba live in concert. Chandler's first big word at the concert, believe it or not was.... FERNANDO! No joke! Love you all, come visit us anytime!
