Kylie

Kylie is in middle school now. She is getting way too grown up now. She is doing really well in school. She is in the advance math class at school and is doing math I can't do. SHe is alos in the band she plays the clarinet. She is in choir and has such a beautiful voice. She is also a peer counselor. She is a very busy girl. I cannot belive how grown up she is. We went to a meeting last night about girls camp and it is so weird that in a few months she will be going into young womens. She really does so much to help me I am not sure what I would do without her. She is looking forward to babysittig. There are a few people at church who said that when she turns twelve they want her to start babysitting for them. I am not sure how I feel about that, she is still my baby.

Scott

Scott is in fifth grade this year and he is off to a great start. He is doing well in all his subjects as usual. He is in band this year and is first trumpet. He really enjoys playing the trumpet and he practices allot. I am really proud of how hard he works. He is also a conflict manager at school. He helps kids who are fighting with each other work out the problem. He is a weeblos and is working really hard in scouts. He has a new scout leader he absolutely loves. He really enjoys scouts. He loves to read and his favorite kind of books are non-fiction. He wants to be an astronaut and even got a telescope for his birthday.

Jason

Jason was bapstized this month. It was a beautiful baptism and it was wonderful that grandpa was here. We are so proud of Jason's desicion to be baptized. He is growing into a very nice young man. He could not wait to be baptized, but he wanted grandpa here so he made the choice to wait. Jason is in the third grade and is doing very well. He is a great when it comes to his money chapter in math. The boy loves money. He is doing really well in school. His teacher says the only problem is getting him to stop being so serious. Which is really funny because he is never serious at home. He is always the one coming up with the jokes and zingers. He always has something witty to respond with. He really makes us all laugh.

Sarah

Sarah is getting so big. She turned six this month. It was great because grandpa got to be here for it. She started the first grade this year and is doing very well. They are helping her with her speach and her reading is coming along quite nicely. Sarah seems to be a social butterfly. Every time I drop her off at school she has several friends yelling for her to stand with them. It is good that she seems to get along so well with others. She is getting tall she is going to catch up to Jason soon. She is a great helper at home, she loves to fold the laundry. It is our thing. We fold the laundry together.

Melissa

What can I say about Melissa. She is unlike any of the other kids. She is full of energy and she has a very devious side. I think somedays her goal is to see how many things she can destroy in a single room. I feel like I run from one disaster to another with her. But somehow she has this ability to be so cute that I can't stay mad at her for long. She loves to dance and sing. She is always putting on a show for us. My whisk is always missing because she is using it as a microphone. She is so full of life that sometomes I am in awe. I think I may be in for some real trouble when she is older though.

Grandpa

Well we were really lucky to have Grandpa come visit us. We got to take him to the Joseph Smith Memorial which was allot of fun. We had Jason's baptism while he was here and he even got to give a talk for it. We also had Sarah's 6th birthday party while Grandpa was visiting us. We kept him very busy while he was here. He was like a rock star. Everybody wanted to sit next to grandpa. We were all very sad when we had to take him back to the airport. There were allot of tears shed. We look forward to grandpa visiting us again, and hope he can bring grandma with him next time.

Hey all

Well Britney inspired me to start my own blog. It seems like a great way to keep in touch with everyone. I will try to keep it updated so you guys can all see how big the kids are getting. And hear all about their crazy lives. School is in full swing and it seems we have very little down time.
