Say a little prayer...

... That these will arrive safely! I am sending Derek to DHL today to send this stuff for your classroom. Perhaps we will have him break them up into a few padded envelopes. All items courtesy of Sandy Linde and whatever organization she receives them from. We have become spoiled by the abundance of resources we receive. I hope children there benefit from these.
Love you!!!

Be prepared

This card is perfect for you, Fred!

I love you and am so grateful to be part of your family. You continue to set a high standard for all of us to live up to. I can't wait to come visit and witness your latest life's adventure!
Love, Brittany

Happy Birthday, Fred!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Dad is a year older! We love you Dad!

Connor is 17!

Connor is only 2 short years away from serving a mission. Holy cow! I chose this picture (even though it's a couple of years old) because it shows Connor where he wants to be ALL of the time...ON TOP OF THE WORLD!

Mia and her friends checking everyone in for the Eagle project (oh, and eating some donuts too!)

Some Recent Events...

Adin and Preston with his cousins Braxton and Cooper

Connor and me at the USAT National Championship in Burlington, VT. Connor took 2nd!

Alyson and me on a hike near Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. We celebrated at the Broadmoor and had a blast!

Motorcycle riding in one of the most beautiful areas of Colorado...Ouray! Yes, it did rain HARD right after this picture!

Connor and all of these people helped build that fence right behind them for his Eagle project. Now he just has to write it up for that Eagle!

Tubing!

We went tubing down the Platte on Labor day. We had a blast except that I parked a little too far away. We ended up tubing for about 4 hours and then I finally got out of the river and hitch-hiked to the car because we over-did the fun. Too much of anything is TOO much! We did have a blast though!

Another Summer Week gone!

Well, it's been another fun summer week and it's one week closer to school starting. I'll sum it up a little. On Friday (July 13th), I got home from work and finished the last bit of painting and clean-up to put our house on the market and then we loaded up the family truckster and headed up to beautiful Beaver Creek. We stayed the night there and then Connor and me did the X-terra Mountain Championship. Connor won his age group and actually qualified for the World Championship in Maui! Unfortunately, that race is during cross country season AND on a Sunday (it's the thought that counts). He also beat me (AGAIN). All-in-all it was an awesome day in one of our favorite mountain getaway's. We spent the rest of the day on the mountain just enjoying it. The next day, we went to the Vail branch (1/2 English, 1/2 Spanish) and then sped to Utah to drop off Adin and Mia with their grandparents and then headed to Provo. The next day, we dropped off Preston and Connor at their respective BYU camps and Alyson and I headed back to home (alone). The boys loved BYU camp! Adin and Mia loved going to Nevada. Connor and Preston were picked up by their grandparents and went to Nevada for a couple of days (they head home on Tuesday). In Lund, NV the kids enjoyed the Pioneer Days rodeo and 5k run yesterday. Connor not only won the 5k but has become a town hero by setting a new course record (some people thought it was a world record). He also won a huge prize purse ($20). We're ready for them all to come home!

Adin is a HERO!

The other day Adin was awarded a "Community Hero" award! He was super nervous about being called up in front of so many people, but afterwards he was sure proud. It was awesome to see him rewarded for being alert and helpful! Who knows, maybe Adin saved our home and the boys that he called to! We're sure proud of him!

Hello!

Hello my friends, family, ect! I just want you to know that I love all you guys! I cannot wait until summer. If you want to know more about how I am doing, please read my blog. If you read my blog, then read my friend Jeremiah's blog (On the links on my blog under Daniel Jeremiah Herrera) Then pass out and cannot stop laughing, and you know people who would also like to read my blog, notify me immediately.

Thank you, your nephew, cousin, grandson, son, ect,

-D. Ethan Weaver

Bring on Summer!

After the Bolder Boulder, it was our Memorial Day yard clean up extravaganza! Everyone worked really hard (for 6 hours even!) and the yard and the truck look AWESOME! Now it's time for Adin's birthday tomorrow and Hawaii on Wednesday! I LOVE SUMMER!
