The Magnificent Seven (Almost)


The Howard's have continued to enjoy the summer. Time would not allow for a summer vacation so we have been trying to keep busy around here. We like to go swimming at Seven Peaks and our local pool. We also just made our annual trek to Lagoon. The kids enjoyed tennis lessons again and each have improved a lot over last summer. We go to the movies (of course Mom approved only). They each just completed the summer reading challenge for our library and have kept their brains "alive" through reading each day. We have had fun with cousins from Massachusetts, Ohio, Colorado, Layton, St. George, Nephi and Payson. The kids just had videotaped auditions for another short movie (5 minutes)!to be made for BYU (this is different than the one Matthew auditioned for last month). Even though none of them have had acting lessons, the writer was impressed with the two oldest. And, we are well on our way to completing the Book of Mormon by the end of the year like President Hinckley challenged each family and individual to do.

Brandon is still Bishop and since nothing is happening on that front, we will still be here for many months to come. I am still in the R.S. Presidency even though everyone else was released.

The baby is going to be born on the 16th at 9:30 a.m. at Timpanogos Hospital in Orem. Since they won't give out patient information over the phone anymore (thanks to Congress), we will try to call you as soon as we can, or you may call mine or Brandon's cell phones (801) 735-7437 and (801) 735-7438.
