Family update...

Life is busy and crazy.  Alex and Emily are back in school.  They have quickly found that summer life is a lot more relaxing.  They are trying hard (for the first week) to stay ahead of the game.  Eric is busy at work with the cadets starting another year.  He is getting ready to go to a class in Alabama for seven weeks.  Savannah will be starting preschool soon as is so excited to go to school like brother and sister.  Brittlynn is growing.  She has mastered going up the stairs and does it every chance she gets.  She doesn't know how to go back down and has fallen down the stairs one too many times.  Pollyanna is busy with a new calling and trying to put order in our new house.  

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.
