Hi family
We kicked off the summer on June 3rd with Bryce's baptism. Brandt was able to perform the baptism, and it was a beautiful service. Most of June and July was spent working in the "rock quarry" better known as our front yard. It wasn't easy, but we finally laid sod and it looks great. We're working on the back yard now, and hoping to finish before the weather turns too cold. From what we hear we aren't the only ones who spent their summer landscaping--sounds like Garth and Suzie also moved a rock or two--congratulations! The other major events of summer were Lissee turning 15, Leon playing Christ in our Stake summer pagent, and Leon getting a new job selling Toyota's in Sandy. Because of the pagent Leon was asked to grow out his beard and hair, which made job interviewing even more interesting than usual. The guys at work call him "Al"--as in the Tool-Time guy. There is an inactive guy there who after finding out about the pagent took to calling him "Jesus"--so Leon returned the favor and calls him Judas. The pagent takes place August 19th, and I will post some pictures when I get them. The kids go back to school this Wednesday, so we'll soon be trading our late nights for early mornings. Hope everyone is well--we hope to catch up with all of you on this website from time to time. Thanks to Jacie for putting it together--Love, the Nichols!
