Bellistons are Back

Well a lot has happened since we last wrote...6 months ago or so.  It's kind of like my journal.  So here are a few of the highlights:
Grant fell on his face and had to get stitches inside his cheek.  It was a much smoother procedure that the first time.
Joe coached  a 6 year old boys baseball team.  Grant was a star and we won every game...as long as we had more players than the other team.
The kids started school and have made a lot of new friends.  We haven't heard them ask when we're moving back to Springville for a couple weeks now.
Thank you all for helping us move out and in.  It was a long day and we definitely couldn't have done it without all of your help!
Joy and Jake learned how to ride bikes this summer.  It took about an afternoon in the church parking lot and they've been riding all over town since.  I'm a big believer in the strider bike now.
We went up to Idaho for the 4th of July to watch the fireworks and stopped by soda springs and saw a huge geyser.  It was pretty lucky because it only goes off every once and a while but as soon as we pulled up it started.  There are a LOT of cows on that drive and we were very cautious not to hit any.  Lori took it a little far and startled me when she said "Watch out for the cows!!"  They happened to be black garbage cans on the side of the road.
Lori got called to be the Relief Society pianist even though she doesn't play.  Well, she learned.  She got released today.  She's now a Relief Society teacher.
I'm liking the new job.  I've been able to record a lot of fun people including Pentatonix, Julie Beck who is our 3rd cousin, Wendy Nelson, Linda Burton, and some other supposedly famous people that I've never heard of.

We are so grateful to be part of this family.  Thank you all for helping us so much and being so good to us.  If anybody needs a place to stay this weekend, we would be happy to accommodate.

Here or some fun kid quotes for your enjoyment:

Joy: "Stop singing, Grace!  You're making me tired."

Jakes frisbee got stuck in a tree.  Dad took Jakes shoe and threw it to get it down.  Jake: "My shoe's a genius!"

Mom: "Joy can you go to the bathroom?"  Joy: "I already went last year."

Mom: "I love..."  Hope; "Oooo"
