Sorry we missed you

Sorry we missed everyone. Since Kip is in the Heating and Air business it's hard to get away in the busy summer months plus we had summer school. We heard everyone had a great time. We are all doing well and keeping busy.

Alysha, Megan & I are in summer school. Alysha is at Algebra Academy to brush up on her Algebra skills before taking Geometry next year in high school. Megan is in 2nd grade summer school to brush up on her reading skills and I am taking algebra at AR to get ready for the science classes I will need for the reistered nursing program. By taking a class each semester, I will be ready for nursing courses before Zane begins school. I am so excited.

Andrew is doing well with his diabetes and has been granted a wish by the Make-a-wish foundation. He is trying hard to decide what to do. We meet with them after he gets home from scout camp, on July 14th, to make a decision. Andrew would like to get his Eagle when he is 14 and so has been working hard and is excited about scout camp and all the merit badges he can earn.

Megan has been taking Irish dance lessons and is enjoying it, though it is a bit difficult.

We are ejoying the summer and hope everyone else is too. Thanks for setting up this blog. What a great idea.

I wasn't really into blogging until i moved soooo far away from home and family. It is a great way to keep in touch!! We are doing well and Garret just finished hos first year of law school!!! FINALLY! We are sad we missed the reunion! :( He had to take summer classes. There is no family like our family! (the MEINZERS!) What a legacy! I love u all and miss you!
ps. Tierra, i have you on my blog as a friend, but whenever i want to check it out, it says it is private??

Reunion Funnies

People in the family kept on making funnies. They are so funny sometimes. So, I wrote down what I heard. Add more if you can remember other ones that I have missed.

1. Terry Meinzer's toilet paper demonstration. I'll add pictures later demonstrating that.

2. Tav's Great & Spacious building. Or as he calls it: the Taj Mahal.



3. Ryan Meinzer - Calling himself Chef Salmonella as he was cooking breakfast.

4. "Excuse Morning" - Russell's Aubrey. I was walking behind her when she turned around and almost bumped into me. She was trying to say excuse me and good morning at the same time.

5. Ryan Meinzer - "Anybody got a toothbrush I can borrow? Any takers?"
Kim - "You can use a branch?"
Ryan - "I was going to use a rock."

6. Terry Meinzer - "Ok, now it's the real Meinzer family!" When we were taking individual family photos.

7. Terry Madsen - "If you have leftovers can I use it for my newtons?" Tierra was pumping milk for the baby.

8. Greg - "B of Gay (Bank of America)" When talking about mortgages.

9. Kim - Calling Neopolitan Ice Cream Napolean ice cream.

10. It's not a Meinzer gathering until something explodes. The incident? Tyler throwing a container with oil on the fire and waking up the camp.
