Recipe of the Month

Berry Yogurt Crunch

• 3 cups plain low-fat yogurt
• 1 (1.5 ounce) envelope instant sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups blueberries, raspberries and sliced strawberries, mixed
• 3/4 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (e.g. Grape-Nuts™)
• 1 cup blueberries, raspberries and sliced strawberries, mixed
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup sweetened whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Combine the yogurt and pudding mix in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of the mixed berries and the cereal until blended. Pour the yogurt and berry mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 2 hours.
Meanwhile, place the remaining 1 cup of berries in a medium bowl and slightly mash with a fork. Stir in the sugar and lemon juice. Set mixture aside at room temperature.
Spoon chilled berry-yogurt mixture into serving dishes. Top with a spoonful of mashed berries, and whipped cream, if desired.

Grandma and Grandpa Romney

Where did June go? We have been so busy this month and we did not even travel anywhere. All we have done this month is work and attend the temple and church. We are looking forward to the family reunion that will be here in 3 weeks. We are so excited.
Thank you for all your love, phone calls and gifts on Father's Day. We want to thank Kenny, Reed, Mike, and Dave for being such great dads and wonderful examples of righteous priesthood holders. Dad was very blessed this last week with a big contract sale with the Government in Oklahoma. The Lord is truly blessing him with success. All we have has come from our Heavenly Father and I thank Him everyday.
Dad is traveling on Monday, June 30 to New York City and will be back on Wednesday. We will then have Dallin while Reed and Summer are in Mexico with Summer's family. We will drive up to Salt Lake for the 4th of July and come back on Sunday. We'll let you know all about that after and we will send pictures. I'm so thankful for the gospel. What a blessing it is in my life. The scriptures and prayer are such a wonderful way for me to gain the knowledge I need to return to my Heavenly Father. Our challenge to Corbin, Anna, Andrew, Becca, Daniel, Joseph, Rachael, Juliana, Dallin and Benjamin is to listen to your parents and pray about what they are teaching you. The Holy Ghost will help you know of the truth. Have a great 4th of July. Please remember to thank Heavenly Father for all the freedoms you enjoy and the sacrifice of all those who made it possible for us to have what we have today.

Love, the Vegas Romney’s

Kenny and Jeni Romney

Where did June go? We can't believe it is over already!!! After school and t-ball ended we have had a great summer. We have been going to swimming lessons every day. In order to get there we park about a mile away and then ride our scooters down the green belt to the pool. (Jeni roller blades with Daniel in the stroller to keep up with the other 4) The weather here has been beautiful and the kids and Jeni have really enjoyed this!
We spent one weekend this month camping at Burneau Sand Dunes. It has the tallest Sand Dune in North America there. Kenny took Corbin and some of his cousins and hiked to the top! They also have an observatory there where they have huge telescopes. It is always neat to go look through the telescopes and see the rings around Saturn and some other planets and stars up close. Our Father in Heaven truly did create this beautiful earth and all things!
We also had the annual Pine Wood Derby for the cub scouts this month. Kenny and Corbin built a "Corvette" complete with lights and driver. The Corvette did a great job taking 3rd place overall. Great job Corbin. Anna has still been sick off and on with tonsillitis and strep throat. She is getting her tonsils out on July 7th. She is excited to have "all the popsicles and ice cream she can eat" (at least that is what everyone has been telling her). We are excited to see everyone for the reunion in a few weeks
Love the Idaho Romney's
