What has happened

Well it has been a long time since I have taken the time to write. Well here is what has happened since I last wrote. On June 6 Nicole and Ben got married in the Salt Lake Temple. Then that night they had a reception at the Provo Library. The temple was wonderful and we would like to thank all who were able to be with us. Sorry we could not invite all those that we would have liked to, but the rooms are only so big and it was pretty full. We had alot of help at the reception and I would like to again thank all those who came an supported us. Also a big thanks to those who helped set up and take down. A big thanks to my friend Par, Kaylynn and all those who helped with the catering. Nicole and Ben went to Mexico for their honeymoon and they had a great time. Thanks to those who made this possible for them!! We are so glad that we were able to have some grandparents to share this with. I know that Nicole and Ben are busy with getting life stabilized now with the new place and getting used to being together when they can with work and such. I am so proud of what they have decided to do. On June 13 I was able to have a wonderful day with Desire. We went fishing up at Tibble Fork then we came down to Highland Glen park and fished for a while. It was a pretty cool day especially for being the middle of June!! We did not catch any fish but spent the day together and I showed her how to skip rocks and just enjoyed the time together. She is getting so big. I hope to be able to spend time with all my grand kids. I love each of them. On June 27 I picked up my dad and we went out to Ophir to the Carter family reunion. After a while Janet, Ryan, Shanna and kids came out and we had a good time. I am thankful that Janet came out. Curley's are always good to come and support in most all things. The reunion was good even though it was low on numbers. There was some problems with the family list of addresses so not as many got invites as we would like to invited.
If you are a family member, there is a web site where the invites and family news is suppose to be posted.http://www.myfamily.com/signup/respond.aspx?invid=-kg9XxjlI5Rc30ND5A2KLw I hope all family members are well. It sure was good to see some of my family that I only get to see once a year if we make it to the reunion. July 4 we got together with the Walker's and had breakfast, then did a few things of our own, then we went back over to Grandpa and Grandmas for dinner and fireworks. It is always good to get together with the Walker side. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for all they do for us all. On Wednesday July 8 for scouts we went up to Highland Glen park and did dutch oven cooking.
As always it was good times and good food. This last Wednesday we hiked up to the Battle Creek falls had so backpacking food and just enjoyed the hike and canyon. Kade is doing well on his mission and we are just so proud of what he is doing, He is now in Antelope, Cal. We think he might stay there until he comes home which is just a few months away. It seems like he just left and then again some time it is like he has been gone forever. Scott and Kayce are doing well. Still in Logan so we don't see them as much as we would like but we can always go see them. Logan is a lot closer than Virgina where Curleys were. Chastina and Steve are doing well and their kids are just great. Shanna and Ryan are still with us and they would sure like a place of their own but things have not worked out for them just yet. I know I will miss them when they go. I just hope they don't go more than a state or two away. I would just like all my kids be close enough to do the family things.
