Happy Father's Day

Well here it is....as much as I hated uploading my slide show this way...This is it! My apologies to Mark, Dad, & Earl if the viewing is not "QUALITY". It is a tad grainy, which has to do with the technical aspect of uploading video, so it's not your screen. With that being said, I will to burn it to a DVD and mail it to both Papa's, so they can view it better. For the rest of you this is as it good as it gets! For some reason, the site I usually upload to just isn't working correctly. The slide show is of pictures from Hunter, Joshua & Mark's last game of the season. They played a Japanese team from Towada. This is the same team they played the first game of the season and lost 6-1. This game they were pumped up to play them and ended up tieing 2-2. Mark did a great job coaching the team this year! Everyone could see how much they improved from the beginning of the season which started the end of April. They had one loss the whole season! Hunter had an awesome game playing defense down by the goal. Josh played offense most of the game. He got off 4 beautiful kicks and had two one on one's with the goalie but never got the ball in the goal! He was slow close! Hailey finished up her last game as well and I have a few pictures of Rylan too. Enjoy...oh yeah...here are extra Father's Day wishes from the kids for Papa Crew & Papa Dorman!
Happy Father's Day Dad and Earl!

Love, Melissa, Mark, & Kids

The video was great, I just cannot believe how these kids are changing everytime I see them, Hunter is tall, Johsua is so determined, and miss hands on the hips, where does she get that from, and of course rylan is growing up right before our eyes. They must be playing every sport available, what a great opportunity for them to be able to participate. Know you will miss mark but you will do great. Keep in touch. Looks like the kids have not missed a beat and are having a wonderful experience.

Happy Father's Day to Mark also. Great video and love seeing the kids playing. We made it to California and had Tyler's graduation today. Going to graduation late lunch at Macaroni Grill when all the other kids get home from school at 2 pm. Hagen's graduation tomorrow at 8:15 a.m. All the Given Gang has grown about 3 inches each since you last saw them in November. Again thanks for the memories that we can watch now all the time. Love Mom

Thank you Melissa for remembering me on Father's Day. I miss seeing Hunter, Josh, Hailey and Rylan but your log is making it bearable. Hug everybody for me, and tell them I might come to Japan to see them. Mark hope you had a great Father's Day weekend. I know Melissa and the kids love you very much. As ever, Jim and Dad

That was so cute! We just watched the kids. Everyone looks so much taller and bigger. Especially Rylan! You and Mark look great too. It does not look like any of you have missed a beat on your activities. The kids are probably getting some great competition and experience for their soccer and basketball. Keep sending the video's. It has been a fun way to stay in touch. Have fun on your summer break!!

Love,
Stephanie and Family
