Lindsey XC, Katie at Lake Powell and Ellie and Nate

Nate got his long locks cut off this summer.. Ellie was there to witness it. Love these shots! :)

Katie got the great opportunity to go to Lake Powell with her cousins last summer. She had so much fun. Grandpa, Uncle Al, Aunt Lisa, Aunt LeeAnn, and a bunch of cousins. Lots of fun!! :)

So, Lindsey joined the Timpanogos Cross country team this year. She only got to compete in one meet, then she found out she had two stress fractures in her leg. She is still going to practice every day and all the meets because it is a class... Better luck next year. I was just glad my sister got these shots of her running her only race this year! Way to go Linds! Love you!!!

SOCCER GIRL

Ellie started soccer this fall! :) Yea! She has been wanting to play for years and we FINALLY got her into it! She is on the pink panthers and is doing so great! I have been so suprised at how aggressive she is! :) Love it!

Cross country pictures of Lindsey coming soon!!! :)

Our girls are busy as ever... Lindsey is doing cross country, she got a stress fracture after the first meet and cannot run. But since it is a class that she is graded on she has to stay on the team, go to all the practices (and bike) and go to the meets. It's been kind of a bummer... but she is doing great! Katie is busy with her music. She is going to accompany the girls choir at school and has a hard piece she is working on. Ellie has been busy with school and friends too. It's been great!

ONE YEAR MARK!!!

Matt had his one year mark last week Sept, 7th. SO HARD to believe. But sooo exciting. He says it is going by wayyyy too fast. I love having a missionary son. It is incredible. What a blessing it has been to our family spiritually. We got these great photos last week. Here are a few of the many....LOVE THEM!! :)

The house

COME AND VISIT!!!!!!

Some of you have been asking for pics... here they are! :)

I'm back!

Long time, no internet.

Wow. 2 weeks without the internet makes you realize you MIGHT have an addiction. . . wow. Seriously. THE BADS.

Not to mention that with school just staring etc... the kids need the internet constantly. Crazy town.

SO ......... WE MOVED IN!!! Yeee haw! Pictures will be coming soon... I promise. I am still having some technical difficulties with that one. But whoa. What a MAJOR effort moving is. It has been SO MUCH work. We have been working on it non stop for 2 weeks. Actually we had been working on the house for 2 weeks before we moved in, painting, refinishing wood floors and carpeting, cleaning, etc... then we moved in and have been unpacking boxes ever since. Every night there is a project for Dave and I to work on. . . But it is GREAT! We LOVE our new house, neighborhood, ward, jobs, schools etc.. etc.. We still have a lot of adjusting going on, but over all, we have been INCREDIBLY blessed and can hardly believe how smoothly things are going. It's great to be back in Utah County.

MAJOR MAJOR thanks to THE YOUNG family for housing us all summer. What champs. Seriously, the kindness just was overwhelming. They were so good to us. Thanks to The Asay's, Youngs and Christensens for their help with fixing up the house. Thanks to Sam Bertoch also for helping us move in. What a champ. We might have broken his poor back. But he SAVED us.

There ya have it.. our latest.
