Hi! Just read Regan's cat hunting plans and wanted to share some info. From past history, our family has had to deal with feral cats(because Grandma H. has a soft, soft heart and started feeding said mommy feral cat while we were on a trip!) We love you, Mom!!!! We rented a cat trap from the animal shelter AND WE TRAPPED THEM! (no animals were hurt during this adventure) I take the 5th on what happened after that. I guess they will be relocated to the new home? Anyway had to laugh remembering old times. We are okay this week (and are keeping our fingers crossed!). Chris has had another great week and we are grateful for the blessings his service brings into our home.
Love you all!

Hello everyone,

Just an update re our little fam. We are still working on the home we purchased a few months back. Between work and the remodel things have been slow at best. The good news is that I am acquiring additional powers tools as we remodel :) Jans and Addi both have small tool belts and they come over to help me whenever they can. Its been fun to see them work together on the home. It will probably be 3-4 weeks before we can get in the house at which point I will have to start operation "Shock and Claw" in which I will attempt to relocate our feral cats with out the use of a tranquilizer gun or heavy artillery. I wont lie, Im a bit nervous. Ill post pictures and perhaps a video clip of the relo as it is guaranteed to be memorable.

Everyone is doing well. The kids continue to be the main source of entertainment and joy and we are loving this time of life.

Love,

Regan, Bek, Jans, Addi, and Luke

Colvin Update

Hi! it's great to see everybody's pictures! Happy Birthday to Jansen, Emily and Sophie! I will have Jana help me with pictures so we can be cool also! Megan is on her way home from a short stay at PCMC. Thank you everyone for prayers in her behalf. She is going to be fine but gave us all quite a scare. Chris had another great week in the mission field and Jana has started her career as a collegiate runner. Nick thinks lunch at Jr. High is great! We love all of you and pray for you all daily. Take care! Sonya

A lot of "old" people having fun!

Saturday August 22, 2009, The Weber High Class of 1979 gathered at the Timbermine to reunite some 30 years after high school graduation. Fun to see friends from long ago. It was a different experience than the 20 year reunion in that life seems to have settled in on everyone a bit more and the mood was quite different than 10 years previous. Fun to catch up with some I have not seen or spoken with for literally 30 years. In Japanese there is an expression which captures the feeling best "Natsukashii". Translation would suggest that feeling that takes you back to some pleasant memories or experiences. It was truly natsukashikata!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANSEN and SONYA!

Old Man Jansen - Happy Birthday

Jansen turned 8 yrs old today and went to his first day of 2nd grade at Lomond View Elm. Hard to believe our little man is getting so big. He has brought so much happiness to our family. We love you Jans! Happy Birthday!!!

Church History 2009
Just returned from two weeks of Church History. We flew to Chicago and traveled to Kirtland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Springfield, IL, St. Louis, Liberty, Independence, Far West, Richmond, Adam-ondi-Ahman, Nauvoo and Carthage. Pictures will tell much of the story of our experience. I may post some later. We are grateful that we could have everybody with us. We were blessed with safety, good weather, too much GOOD food, and some very meaningful experiences walking in the paths of History.
