Fun Father's Day

We all went over to Mom and Dad's (John and Christine's) for some fun father's day interaction. We also told Mom and Johanna some of what we like about them. Ended the night with some poetry by Robbie Burns (To a Louse, To a Mouse, For A' that, My luve is like a red, red, rose, etc.).

David and Heather are back from the Caribbean and are happy to be reunited with little Hannah. Hannah is happy to have mom and dad back safe.

Pete, Dad, and Seth went on the father and son activity to Granite Flats above Tibble Fork. Seth gave them a little scare when he decided to do a little exploring. Something adventurous in those Donaldson genes. (Or is his Smith genes?) Jinjer is a great blogger and Jane just loves to play with her cousins and friends.

Johanna had a great birthday party with 15 of her closest friends at the cabins in Little Cottonwood. She went to the Strawberry Days rodeo the next day.

Walter is playing soccer and working for grandpa. He could hardly kick a ball on a walk last week with us.

Julie had a fun week at BYU for a writer's conference. I had David and Adah the whole weekend before last. We went swimming, saw Cars, went out to eat, and visited grandma and grandpa. I got to write a motion and a memo in support of a motion that was actually filed in court.

Charles is really excited about heading out to New York and he just found out that he got a full scholarship at UVSC.

Mike Taylor is enjoying some down time in an anatomy rotation. Emm and Tommy have had fun swimming and hanging out.

Rich really liked his pulmonology. He even got to do a main line. They posted some sweet pictures of cute Lila and John on their blog.

Louise is work, work, work, then play, play, play all the day.

Marcus called mom from Pakistan and reassured her he is safe. (After he had already climbed across a glacier).

We can't wait to see all of the out-of-towners this summer.

Deseret News 24th of July Marathon Info

I have been looking at some information on the race, from what I see there is no Race Day registration. The deadline to register over the internet is July 16th. You can also fill out a form and mail it in. Here is a map of the different courses. There is a 5K, 10K, and Marathon. They all start at different places and at different times. What are people thinking?

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday To You!! Thanks for all you do for all of us. You are a wonderful mother who cares so much about her children and grandchildren. We hope you have a great day!! XOXOXO

Family Reunion

The JKDonaldson family reunion will be held July 28th through the 30th at the Ashton & Lloyd cabins. Everyone is in charge of planning and bringing all ingredients for a meal. Also, each family should plan and bring supplies for an activity that the children can do.

It has been suggested that we also do the Deseret News 24th of July marathon as a part of our reunion. Bring your jogging shoes if you would like to participate.
