Our Family Update

So, actually I don't where to begin. Our family is busy. Tim is back home with us and he is searching for a job in his field he graduated in (Chemical Engineering). Alyssa, our daughter is married(hubby Victor) with two little boys- Orion and Cyrus. They live in Pleasant Grove. Alex is going to USU, working, and getting ready to go on a mission. Chandler is a junior in high school- trying to avoid the dating scene. He decided not to play football this year, but he is having fun going to the games. Logan High has a chance to take State again this year! Hayden is in 8th grade. He just finished football and has started on basketball. They won their first game last Saturday. Ryland is in 1st grade, just started piano lessons and is a great musician. He also started basketball and had his first game on Saturday. John is coaching their team. They tied their first game and Ryland was very entertaining to watch. He did not want the ball and would put his hands up to block it every time it came his way. He ran up and down the court making hissing sounds like a snake. John worked with him after the game and he actual would catch the ball and shoot baskets. So we will see how his next game goes on Saturday. I think I'll bring the video camera just in case- I might be able to capture some very funny stuff!!! Bridger is 4 years old. He is contented to be at home with mom. He loves going to preschool/playgroup on Thursday.

John works at USU as the Registrar. He also keeps busy with his church calling and coaching Ryland's basketball team.

I am a stay-at-home mom, but I really am not home too often. I am on the PTA at Ryland's elementary school. I have be doing it for 6 years now. I also love keeping busy with my church callings. I had been in YW's for 7 years (loved every minute of it), but now I am a primary teacher to such a wonderful, fun class! I also two other callings- one of which is Stake YW's Camp Director!!!! I am so excited for camp this summer!!!

Hayden's birthday- March 20, 2007
notice Hayden got a whole box of Funyuns for his birthday. That was what he asked for. He ate them all and decided he didn't want Funyuns for awhile after that, but he is back to eating them again. I don't think he'll ever ask for a whole box of them again, though!
