President Barack Obama

You may remember a month ago when Kathleen wrote this letter to Barack Obama. Well, much to our surprise, he wrote her back. Here is the letter she sent:Here she is super excited about her letter:
The envelope addressed to Kathleen:

We went to the store and Kathleen picked out a frame for it. It is in the front of our house on a table so "everyone can see it first thing".

I think we may have create a little democrat at our house.

Girl's Camp, Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Daddy. Breakfast in bed: In primary our kids were sharing stuff about our family. Here was the poster they made. It has the Spear Family, we like milkshakes on Sundays, we like baseball, our favorite scripture story is Samuel the Lamanite, we like swimming, and our favorite primary song is "I Love to See the Temple."

Ryan picked and washed peas from our garden.
Ryan is starting a new tradition. While I am away at girl's camp, he makes homemade peach ice cream. This year's was way better than last year.
I didn't take a single picture at camp. So I got this one when I got home. It rained on us the last night so my tent was all wet and needed to be set up again at home. The kids LOVED it.
C is for Cookie, it's good enough for me. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!

Nature Walk

For Family Home Evening last week we went on a nature walk. We just walked around our yard and let the kids take pictures of the things they like that Heavenly Father gave us.

A pea from our garden:
Our pumpkins:



Ryan liked that random leaves in this tree were red.




There were a lot more pictures than this, but I thought I would spare you.
