Still Around




Wow its been forever since i have updated our blog. Life as usual has been crazy but we are still around. It felt like summer came and went we had many exciting outings. We went to lake Powell and Hudson went for the first time he loved it. He was jumping off the house boat and off rocks- i can't believe i let him. I think i must be relaxing in my old age. Payton and Elli had a blast as well. We made lots of trips to bear lake which is always fun. We enjoyed many fires out back with the neighborhood and roasted a fare share of giant marshmallows. Payton played on a competitive soccer team who was almost undefeated and then started tackle football in august. Yes i really must have lost it this summer because i said never to football but i have to admit it is now my favorite. And he rocks at it, there last game he got two touchdowns with an amazing run. Elli excelled in her tumbling class and became quite the little swimmer. Hudson scared me to death half the time weather i was looking for him or keeping him off the high dive at the pool. Ralei discovered the pool and when she would see the swim bag come out she got all excited. Eric surprised me for my birthday with a camp out just me and him up smithfield canyon (that's a whole other post). School started and the kids are going to Birch Creek a brand new school and its so nice to have all new everything it was just a little hairy in the beginning trying to get things in order. And somehow i became head room mom for both classes- dumb me (its going well so
far). Hudson started preschool two days a week and really loves it he come home singing the songs and he told me the story about Columbus sailing the seas. Eric helped coach Paytons football team so he was strait from work to football for 8 weeks, he was very missed but really enjoyed it he informed me hes going to keep doing it as long as we have a boy who wants to play.
As for me i am just trek-en along with the gang i am so blessed to have my family and wouldnt trade crazy for anything.
