What's up?

Lindsey and Katie have been working SO hard all summer running cross country!! Here they are at the American Fork meet! They did awesome! They both PR'd by 1 minute and came across the finish line together (almost).  Then last week Dave, Ellie and I went to Colorado for braces weekend. Lindsey and Katie had to stay home for 2 XC meets... Lindsey had pneumonia so she couldn't race, but had to be there for the grade, Katie PR'd by 2 minutes!!! Sweet!! Matt and Trey have been busy in school... Matt got a job at the MTC and is loving it, but barely has a minute to spare... It's been so fun having them around! Ellie started on a new soccer team this fall.. Blue lightning.. they are all 12 year olds and she is 10, so she is really having to step it up... so far she has done awesome!! Love these kids and all they're doing!! :) The basement is finally finished so now Dave and I can actually go for walks at night, go on dates on the weekend etc... It's AWESOME!! :P
