What we've been up to


1. Matt is going to Homecoming Oct. 11th and it should be lots of fun. He is still running cross country.. he had a fun meet in Laughlin, NV last weekend. They got to swim in a river afterwards. He has another meet tomorrow in Indian Springs. He has had sort of a rough season. He started out with a hip injury and now he has what we think is a stress fracture in his right lower leg.. so it's been a hard season. He won't give up though (even though he has a worry wart mom who wants him to) so HATTS OFF to him for hanging in there when it's not the most fun!
2. I am officially being Lindsey and Katies piano teacher -- we cannot find a teacher and have struck out with several attempts, so I am going to see if I can do it!!! YIKES - I am not really too proficient at it myself... but I don't want to them to quit - so until we find a teacher... here we go.
3. Matt got a new car! Yea! My brother owns a car lot in St. George - and he got him a cheap car, so it's nice for him to have wheels again-- THANK YOU SO MUCH SCOTT!!!!!!
4. Ellie is the SUPER student this week in her class! Yippeeee! She is so excited! And I am starting to work in her class once a week doing sight word soldiers!
5. Katie is the "Student of the month" in her class! YEA!
6. Lindsey has started the violin and LOVES it!! She is really liking middle school! Woo-hoo!
7. Dave is finishing up the bed he is making us and it is going to be sooooo pretty! I am excited and thankful to have a husband that is such a great craftsman --that's about all for now... sort of not that exciting... but after all this is my way of journaling so there ya have it!! :)

I've been on "blogger vacation," so it's good to catch up on what's happening in your lives. I'm excited that Matt and Scott have a good group going to Homecoming. It should be lots of fun!
