Sanders-Smith Wyoming plans

Ken, Megan, Brian and Elizabeth arrived in Jackson today. I will join them on Thursday night (July 26). On Saturday, we'll head to Powell through the Park. (Ken will go back to Virginia.) The four of us will be there in time for the demolition derby. If no tickets are available, we'll enjoy the rides and exhibits and cotton candy. See you soon.

Due to the graphic nature of these pictures, get young children out of the room....or just you Butch!!

More from Ft Bliss, Texas

So Mom, Devin, Linzy (Derek's girlfriend), and I all piled in my car and headed off on our 16 hour drive to Fort Bliss, Texas to see Derek graduate from AIT. It was a fun, but loong trip. Here are some more pictures from the graduation.

This is a good looking, skinny Derek. Taken on the day he graduated from AIT at Fort Bliss, Texas.

These pictures were taken in the summer of '06 when Marissa and I went to Denver. Isabella is now 14 months old and very smart and absolutely adorable!!! I have Christmas and first birthday photos that include Alex...I will try to load them and share this year! We are all well and working hard at school, work or home & garden. I went to 30th HS Reunion...those people were OLD! Love Anita

Trip to Otto

We went to Belle's Store in Otto today. The girls enjoyed hearing stories from their dad. Good thing the plumbing still worked! haha

Back from Training

Hey everyone Derek here. I finished my Army IET(Initial Entry Training) on the 29th and am back home in Idaho. I lost 50 pounds in the process so I probably look the same as the last time most of you saw me. I move to Boise on the 14th of July to get ready for school at the great Boise State University.

The girls at the Museum

Is this anything like the movie?? I have yet to see it.

We went to Bozeman to see the musuem and the planetarium. Very cool! Nicole REALLY liked the planetarium, she is our space girl. Bailey thought the mummified remains of King Tut in the Eygptian exhibit was awesome. We liked it all though! Jodie

Before I got around to posting my pictures from Nepal, I went to Jordan. Just got back tonight. I'm hoping that the amount of time I've traveled in the first two months with this new company is not typical. I'm getting tired very quickly.

Megan went to EFY the day school got out. After that, she immediately left for Guatemala where she is spending three weeks in an intensive Spanish course and living with a host family. Brian just got back from a week-long scout camp. He returned with with a nice tan and lots of bites...and stories of adventure of mischief. A few days later, Elizabeth left for Utah. The only seat unavailable using frequent flyer miles was in first class. She often has illusions of grandeur and things like this don't help her understand that she is not QUEEN Elizabeth! There were a couple of days last week when Ken was the only one at home and the rest of us were all in different places in the world. We'll all be together for a day in Jackson and then not all back together until mid-August.
