Surprise Visit!

Katie brought her sweetheart, Mikey, home for a surprise visit. We packed a lot into our two days together and can't wait for them to come again!

Utah Visit

Kaylee and Grandma. Sherry got to go visit the kids in Utah in October. It's hard having half of the family in another state!

Miller Family Reunion

In July, we were able to go to Montana for Sherry's parents 50th anniversary party there. Her whole family was there and it was an AWESOME event!

CHINA

Hayley and Sherry just got back from a trip to China! We went with Galena--the group Hayley performs with. We had a great experience--doing shows, meeting people, getting to know each other and our group better. It will be a special memory for both of us for the rest of our lives.

San Diego

We went to San Diego with the Shepherd family the last
week in may. It was a PERFECT vacation!!

Fun in Puerto Rico

Johnny flew from San Diego to San Juan, Puerto Rico to spend two and a half weeks with his Uncle Joe (Sherry's brother) and Aunt Lily and their family. Joe is in dental school and Johnny had a great experience there attending some classes. He even got to "assist" in an oral surgery. (Don't worry, I think he took photos for the teacher and went and fetched some tools!) He got to snorkel in secret spots and explore the island with the Millers. We are waiting for pictures!

Katie's PAC tour

Katie spent the month of May in Europe with the BYU International Folk Ensemble. She had an amazing time and has great stories to tell!

NEW POST

I know my Mom's email and password and I was just sick of looking at Johnny's home! (Sorry Mom)
So for the sake of a new post and the sanity of all here are the updates:
*Mom and Hayley just got back from China. Hayley went with her performing group Galena Street East where they went for the Pre-Olympic festivities. They both had a BLAST. I'll make them post pics soon.
*Katie and Annie have been playing in Southern California with family and get home today and tomorrow. They also had a great time!
*Johnny is in Provo going to summer school at BYU. He's taking a Spanish test and will eventually take his test to get his Spanish credits. Good Luck Brother!
*Shara and Shane (and little Kaylee) are in their new place in Orem. Shane likes his insurance job and Shara loves being at home with her wild and crazy little 13 month old! Cutest kid ever :)
*Dad is working for a new company called Start Over.com and is excited to have the girls back home. He was alone for almost two weeks!

Well that is the Shepherd update (via Shara) sorry if I missed anything. I'll make my mom get on her more, but to her defense she has been just a little busy :)

Heading to BYU

It's been awhile...Johnny came home and is now gone again! He is in Provo and will be attending BYU this summer.

Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary

It was a lot of hard work, but it paid off. We just had a GREAT party to help Sherry's parents celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Thanks to everyone who helped!

Our Trip to Utah

We were able to go to Utah for a couple weeks to visit the kids and John's family. We had a great time and loved seeing everyone. Here are some pictures from our trip!

Katie is currently touring Washington state with the BYU International Folk Ensemble. She is having a great time and loves dancing.

Elder Johnny Shepherd
