We had the privelege of spending a week or so in Utah last August to see family, recruit some future BYU students from our ward and welcome home our newest returned missionary. It was relaxing and as usual, a beautiful Provo summer. Here you'll also see a picture of Josh playing games with nearly all of he 10 grandkids as to keep adults sane. The organized chaos that the kids call playing is non-stop and they never complain until we have to leave:( I ran into my old Intramurals boss while my bother-and-laws and I were sticking true to one of our latest traditions of playing basketball. This time it was against the better part of the BYU baseball team. Another trat is that of going to Tucanos to eat as well as Cafe Rio. Stephanie really enjoyed the campus and tour taken from the Hinckley Alumni Center on the day of summer graduation exercises. It reminded me of two things: the first summer session I attended as a freshman when i was walking by the MOA when Pres. Monson posed to take some pictures with graduates. I walked right by them! Then there was my last summer in Provo when I graduated the day before Carol and I got married. Here you'll also see Robby Polo who served in New Zealand and returned with his parents on his birthday! It was a huge Sabogal-Polo turnout in SLC! Before that we got to sneak over to the conf center for a quick tour with polo & stephanie. We went on the roof and saw the most amazing gallery of art. It was all of the originals of the book of Mormon artwork! (the guy was like EVERY piece of art in the CC is original!) Dang! You've gotta see these things up close. There's things you can't see in print. The TEARS on Lehi & Sariah's face when they are on the ship on the way to the Promise Land as well as the view of the once powerful Nephite nation with Mormon (the bottom part that is usually cut off is pretty gorey). It had the quality of a French art gallery (Carol and I being expert critics and all, lol) and come to find out... the artist (whos name escapes me) was French.

Awesome! Now I wanna see that artwork!
Yay! Finally an update! Thanks for all the pics! Brookie sure does miss her cousins. She loves you all so much! Of course, we all do! Calvin, you know you're like a foot TALLER than everyone else in the Sabogal/Polo picture at the airport, right?
TALLER? I'm surprised you didn't know someone else who was "tall" in Spirit. Did you see the RM in the picture and the proud parents? Unfortunately, the short jokes are going to have to cut back once the Martinez boys reach 12 years of age and start passing me up (OK, o hopefully it'll end WAY before that regardless... :)
