Chris Neville family






Hi everyone,

It's fun to see pictures and read about what you're doing. Last week Caroline, Leslie and I spent a week at suzuki music camp in Utah. It was really fun and the girls learned a lot. I ran into Jana Allred, Amy's mom and my Uncle Dale. I didn't know the connection, but I guess big plans have been made. I know it will be difficult Amy because I've just been through that, but if it helps any, you will love Dale's kids. They are really nice girls with lots of talent like your family has. I hope it all goes smoothly.

We took Jonathan to basketball camp at BYU and spent some time with Aimee. We have lots of things to plan and it's not that easy long distance. We're all looking forward to the wedding Aug. 16. We left Chris home for a week alone, but he said it wasn't very relaxing because he had to deal with all the construction decisions going on. So he's leaving tomorrow for a meeting in Boston and a visit with Mom and Dad so that I'll have the opportunity to be stressed out too. We're hoping everything will be done in time for the wedding!

So after Utah, we drove up to Idaho to see Steven and Rebecca and we got to see Aubry too. It was fun. We loved seeing the new Rexburg Temple.

I forgot to mention that we packed our car the night before we left for Utah and during the night someone broke into the car and stole all the luggage. It was a big blow and we had to do lots of shopping in Utah, but atleast they didn't take the car. Luckily, we had not put the cello and violin in the car yet. Poor Jonathan had packed for basketball camp and EFY so he really had nothing left in his closet to take.

Elise had EFY in Provo the week before we went to Utah and she stayed with Steve and Rebecca the week before we went up to Idaho. I think she planned it like that! We were all grateful that she wasn't with us when the luggage was stolen.

Hope you're all having a good summer. Happy birthday this weekend to Dad. Chris is excited that he gets to spend it with you.
Love to all,
Cathy

Love your pictures!! You guys have been busy! I'm so sorry about your luggage--doesn't that make you so angry? Of course, I guess you did get to go shopping. Thanks for being so kind to Aubrey and having her over! You are all sweeties! We're excited to see you at the wedding--hope all your construction gets completed and you don't lose your mind first. We love you--Thanks for posting your pictures!!

We always love hearing from the Modestonians. What a crazy fun summer. We will miss the beach house with everyone. For sure let's plan on next summer. Love the pics! Is Chris hunting down the thiefs yet?

Yes...there are some big plans! And I'm very excited for them. It is a little weird though!

Thanks for sharing the pics! I'm looking forward to taking Jonah next year to Suzuki camp. Some fond memories there.

Good luck with the wedding!

Your pictures are great! Leslie and Caroline we're so proud of your musical talents and always love hearing you play. What fun seeing you together in Rexburg. You all look beautiful--handsome, for you, Steve. Loved the picture of Aimee and Tyler---can see the lovelight in their eyes. So sorry to hear of your robbery (scruddy people) but grateful the musical instruments hadn't been loaded. Jon, how was BB camp? Elise, how was prom (you are so pretty) and camp? Love to hear all from all!
More wedding news, Aimee? Keep us posted on all.
Love you all muchly, Grm & Grpa
