They have a tradition in our ward here in Colorado Springs right before the kids go back to school. Its kinda like an end of summer kick off. The tradition is ice blocking. It is not anything complex. You get a block of ice from the store, put a towel on it so that you bottom doesn't get too cold and then slide down a grassy hill of fun. At first Savannah was a little scared... and then daddy kept going down the hill with her and by the time she was done she was a pro. I love her willingness to keep trying and not getting scared.

Family update...
Emily, a sophomore this year, besides the regular classes; English, Math, History, and Science, she is taking Theater and Musical dance class. She has elected to take released time seminary, but in order to do that she has to take an online course. We will see how well she does this time. Last year it was more difficult than she thought. We are excited for her...but we aren't sure if we like that she is growing up so fast.
Alex, a junior, is loving our new house, because we are so much closer to the school which means more soccer time for him. All the hard work has paid off and he made the varsity soccer team playing his favorite position as center mid. He is trying extra hard to stay on top of his studies and we hope that he continues to be so motivated. It is great to see your hard work pay off. He is also taking a rocky mountain course where he gets to go rock climbing, mountain biking, zip lining, etc.
Our family is growing way to fast but we are excited for the adventures that are going to come. We recently took some family pictures. It was a lot of fun, and we are grateful for our friend April taking them for us.
