Snow in the White Mountains and in other areas of the state.

This picture was taken by a friend of ours, Cope Reynolds.

James failed to take any pictures of the snow.

 

Joshua and Evan missed their soccer game today.  (It may have been too wet to play anyway)  They are going to a birthday party for their friend Bryce.  Evan asked me to wrap his gift since his mom had to work this morning.

Evan says it's exciting to get a wrapped present.

 

While James with at the Black River with the boys, I was at Addy and Kayla's tumbling recital. 

Addy, striking a pose.

Back flip, or a bridge

Oh yes, Ruby was there too.

There must have been 200 girls, and a few younger boys who participated in this recital.  The girls were all ages and abilities.  This is Addy and Kayla's first year and they did a great job!

 

Ruby is so proud that she lost a tooth.

Rowan sat next to me.  He did hand shadows on the ground to

entertain himself.  As you can see, Trina's mom got to sit by the babies. (Tristan was there with Rhia and of course Lola).

Rowan and I stole Lola for a picture at the end of the program.

 

 

Here are some pictures that James sent me from the Black River.  When I asked where Adam was he said he got cold and wet and walked back to the truck to read his book.  He did catch 5 fish.

Alex caught 86 fish.

 

 

Seth caught 80, and James caught 70. 

Seth says it's the most fun that he's ever had!

That makes the trip all worthwhile.

James Hayden helping with a service project at his ward's fathers and sons outing.  That's him in the red sweatshirt.  Jared says he wears it everywhere.

 

In other exciting news today two of the young men we know got their mission calls.  First, Weston Hall from Vernon received his call to serve in the Argentina Buenos Aires South mission and he reports September 23rd.  Weston's brother, Kendall is serving in Argentina and will be home in November.  Their dad, our former bishop, Ron Hall also served in Argentina.  Congratulations!

 

Here in Chandler Alex Braddock opened his mission call this evening.  He is going to the Chile Orsono mission and reports July 1st.  Congratulations Alex!
