Cannonball Lou
 |
| Great landing!
Lou is a Star Scout and just yesterday finished the requirements for his fishing merit badge. We have the proof.
|
 |
| First fish - well, moss and fish. Can you see the tail sticking out of the moss? Check out Lou's expression too! |
 |
| The second fish...
Lou was brave and ate one bite of his fish. Grandpa does a great job cooking fish. Then he went for the hamburger! Can you believe it? He said that the fish tasted good. It was a milestone. We also taught him to play Shanghai yesterday. He picked that up really fast. Look out Uncle Allen.
Lou still plays golf every week and has golf lessons. He often wins tournaments. He will be attending 8th grade at Aliso Viejo Middle School this year.

A few others that that he received recently were:

Golden was selling some of his creations to his friends at school until they told him it wasn't legal! His work is in great demand. It takes a lot of patience and creative imagination.

Some random Teen happenings...
It's not so random that James David left for Mexico this week to learn Spanish. He gave a great talk in church and Lily gave her first sacrament meeting talk the same day on "Example".
Noah sang a duet. It combined Come Follow Me" and "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go". The Ostergar's took over their sacrament meeting and lots of relatives filled the benches. They all did a great job.
Bright is working in Price and will go to school there again in the Fall. She is working at a Museum and at a Pizza Parlor. She now has a car and delivers Pizza too. Sunny is working in Bear Lake at the same place that Bright worked last summer. She doesn't like customers who are mean! Rae has a doctor's appointment in SLC this next week and we get to go to lunch with her.
Julia is in Nicaragua doing a teen service project. She drove Cynthia's car to Laguna Niguel from San Francisco after their family vacation and then lost the only key to the car. There is a funny story of her Mom and Jane cleaning her room to find the key while she is Nicaragua. They found 89 pens and pencils and a few calculators and her camera but no key. After some prayer, a call to AAA to open the car,and more searching, a key was found that Allen IV lost a few year's ago. The other key is still missing!
Ruth was here for EFY this week with some of her cousins. They loved it!
Peter returned from their family vacation to England, Scotland and Iceland. How fun for their family.

James Atticus has spent 3 weeks in Australia visiting his Dad and family there. We had a nice visit with him on our recent trip to California for Mary's concert. I saw a photo of Mary and Anna Belle on Instagram today eating Yogurt at Yogurtland...They introduced it to us while we were there. It is yummers! Go get some.
We did a little camping this week at Payson Lakes. We took the canoe, bicycles and Anna's family.
Clara and Daisy look very good paddling in the canoe. We did some Beaver art and generally had fun. Daisy got her driver's license this week and passed two summer on-line classes all on the same day.
What have been some of your favorite summer reads? I have enjoyed Rump, The True Story of Rumplestiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff and another was West of the Moon by Margi Preus. Both were based on fairy tales...but West of the Moon was not a fairy tale itself. The heroine is a story teller and uses a Scandinavian folk tale to tell her own story.
Grandpa and I will celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary this week. That's a long time. Do you think we will make it to the big 50th? I think we will. How should we celebrate?
