Megan is Leaving for College - Bummer!

I just barely fininshed packing for my grand road trip to Utah tomorrow. Maybe I shouldn't leave things like this to the last minute!!! I've decided that I am not ready to go back.....I haven't had enough of a summer break!

New Driveway

We are trying to do one or two big things a year to update our house. This year, we decided to pour a new driveway. The old one was very damaged, cracked and the grade was toward the house. We also had wooden steps that were two narrow and in poor condition. We love the new look, especially the stairs!

Camping with Ellis's

We went camping in Buena Vista with the Ellis's! We rented a cabin and they brought the boys with their camper. We panned for gold, swam at Turquoise Lake, ran the river, rode bicycles, ate yummy food which Heather shopped and planned for us and had a great time! Good food, family and friends! Jake and Megan didn't get a lot of time off this summer so we were so glad that they were able to get this weekend off to go with us to the mountains!

sup,

So I was told to do this blog every week and I'm really not sure why I have to, but in order to continue my Psych marathon I must bestow upon the world a glimse of my mastery of the english language. Today I went to work and taught swimming lessons to little children which is always interesting. I then waited for my private lesson that didn't show up and came home and ate food. That was my day and I am frustrated with the amount of AP summer homework that I have due that I have put off. In hindsight I shouldn't have done that.


That is all,

Jake

September 26- October 2

This was a very busy week! Owen was on the road - even went to Kalamazoo. He hopes he sold a lot of sensors!!!

Laura helped to launch a new website at school, did ELL training and started collaborating with teachers in the building.

Jake got his braces off - he was lucky and our good friend Heather Ellis took him to the orthodontist or he would have had to wait until his Dad was back in town to take him during the day.

Megan got to see Utah State beat BYU as a Freshman and her cousin Shawn and his friends threw her in the air once for every point they made. She then went to her Aunt Kris's house for Conference.

Jake and Owen went to the Priesthood session and then out to dinner at Red Lobster for all you can eat shrimp.

Elizabeth worked hard on her multiplication tables and at reading the Guardians of GaHoole - our Hulstrom Book to Movie Club!

Rachel helped hold us together by helping to get Elizabeth ready for school in the morning when I took Jake to early morning seminary and babysitting and taking to piano lessons until I got home at night. She also is making more $ than anyone as she got to babysit for the Scotern's and the Cleverly's.
