Family Life couldn't be better. We are all enjoying the summer break, especially since Jeff isn't taking any classes.

Having Christy and Lief out here was so much fun, and yes we took them on a 4 mile walk in the rain, but hey they SLEPT through all the major rain storms so really it wasn't that bad. :) Seriously the rain is just part of the Indiana Lifestyle. Grandma and Grandpa Skousen should understand this after living in Hawaii.

I'll post some pics of dads trip out here, it was so much fun, having him here. Mom dad said he'd fly you out here soon, we'll have to keep him to that. j/k We are still planning on comming out for sure in October for Jeff's Brothers Wedding, but we may still make it earlier if Natasha Robinson would ever set a wedding date..... don't count on anything.

I love my calling in church but today was another busy Sunday, Jeff had to teach the Adult Sunday School class so I took Ben, Ehre has a runny nose and slight cough so I kept her too...thank goodness for a wonderful Primary Presidency that LOVES kids, they made things run smoothly while I taught a new song to the kids. The Jr. Primary are slow learners but do well so we never have any extra time, but my Sr. Primary learns so fast and so I had to "on the spot" change things up to make them more interesting. "Opera" Style singing was a big hit! The kids put a finger to their larynx and moved it around to get a "vibrato", all went well till one of my guys raised his hand and informed me, " I don't think thats really how Opera singers do it, I never see their hand on their throats...." well then we stopped the opera style and moved on. :)

We miss all of you and we're really excited that there is this blog set up, so despite the fact that some of us have additional blog accounts EVERYONE needs to respond to this one, I don't want to go fishing on the blog sites to see how everyone is doing.

Love you all
We'll make another post later.
Ann

ps.... Dad INSISTED on riding in the back seat on the way to Chicago. Ehre really didn't get eaten by a shark. And Benjamin always looks handsome, he just can't help it!
