Father's day

We had so much fun this year for fathers day! Ben had gotten a blue-ray player the week before and we had also just went and seen the new Star Trek movie and so we bought the trilogy pack with 2,3,4 of the Star Trek series and the kids loved them! The picture quality is SO much better. We also did the most fun family home evening! We learned about being missionaries by being "fish-ionary's" so cute! I laminated and glued magnets to the fish so the kids could catch them! They even wanted to play again the next night

Never a dull moment

Late Saturday day night we were woke up by the sounds of a women screaming and could see cop cars and and ambulances for about 2 hours on the next street. Sunday after church our neighbor was telling us about it and said that the paramedics were on our block around 12am for our neighbor across the street. I must have slept though that one. Luckily our dog doesn't bark at everything I really fell bad that about this one he was only about 3 houses from home but I'm sure drinking was a factor. I cant imagine being a family member watching helplessly while this all unfolded. WATERLOO —- A 24-year-old man died in a single-vehicle accident early Sunday just a few houses down from his residence. Waterloo police were called to the accident about 2 a.m. On arrival police determined that a vehicle was traveling east on Hawthorne, when the vehicle left the roadway and hit a tree at 1421 Hawthorne Ave. The driver, Admir Miskic, 24, of 1427 Hawthorne Ave. was dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt. A front-seat passenger, Dzemal Grcic, 21, of 233 Brookeridge Drive, was transported to Covenant Medical Center by Waterloo Fire Rescue with non-incapacitating injuries. The Waterloo Police Department continues to investigate the accident. Speed was suspected to be a factor, but the speed at which the vehicle was traveling was undetermined.

Aarons baptism

Ben's sisters oldest boy turned 8 so we headed up to ames for his baptism. Kind of hard to get 6 people out the door in church clothes by 7am the day after school gets out but we made it and it was alot of fun. After words we went to their house for a little family lunch to celebrate and also for Bens days birthday cake! The kids played and had lots of fun!

End of school...

Wow Summer has started and I have not blogged for a long time! We seem to be busy busy. Well the kids got out of school. Jared had kindergarten graduation (first time kittrel has done anything like that) it was alot of fun and I was so happy that ben got to go with corey and I. This is the last year in the old kittrel building and the new one that they have been building all year is so much bigger and nicer. We cant wait. For the last couple of years we have had a tradition of on the last day of school we roast marshmallow's and do smores that night. Its alot of fun and kicks off summer just right I think.
