Congrats Kaitlyn

So Kaitlyn just made the junior high volleyball team!! This girl amazes me. All I have to do is drive her back and forth between practices and games with soccer and volleyball and I get tired, I have no idea how she does it!! She is pretty excited that she will be a starting varsity player.
Good luck SJH's volleyball team!!!!

And so it begins...


Soccer season has officially started for Kaitlyn again. This year our team has moved up another division, which means we are playing pretty tough teams this season. Our games will be anywhere from Logan, Park City to Provo. Good luck Kake!!

First Day of School







So here are our cute kids on the first day of school. They were all really excited to start this year. Bryson is in 6th grade and has an awesome teacher. Kaitlyn is in 8th and I think is kinda glad that Bree isn't at the junior high to tell the boys to stop flirting with her little sister. Bree started high school this year, I know that she has been really nervous cause she realizes she is growing up and has to start getting serious just a little bit. And then there is Emilie, our big senior this year (yes the freakin' eyes are welling up with tears!!!) She has so many college classes this year its insane!!! I hope she is able to enjoy some of it and not study the year away.
We are so proud of our kids

The crazy life

Pictures will have to come later--too tired to download them!! So much has happened the past week or so. First I guess school started. Such mixed feelings about that one. So happy to have the kids back in school, but Emilie started her senior year!! And I cried. Bree started high school this year!! And I cried. Kait is in 8th grade, ok with that one. Bryson started his last year in elementary school!!! And I cried. My mom always told me to enjoy them while they are little cause they grow so fast, mom was so right. It has been amazing watching them grow into such awesome kids, but its going faster than I would like. Andrew keeps telling me to get a hobby, I am thinking I need to take his advice. Kaitlyn made the junior high volleyball team this week. So proud of her!! And then some sad news today, Em's cute new little car is not so cute anymore. Today at lunch some stupid guy pulled out in front of the girls as they were going to lunch. The car is totalled!!! When I got to the accident, I just cried, to see how smashed that car was and to see my girls running to me, crying!! I am so incredibly grateful they are ok, a little sore from the impact, Em's face is sore from the airbag hitting her. But they are ok!!! The car can be replaced, my girls well I am just happy to hug them tonite.

Go Breanna!!

Say Hello to the newest member of NorthRidge's High School Volleyball Team.

This accomplishment didn't come with ease. There was a fair amount of whining about doing the conditioning and having to endure "Hell Week". In the end, hard work and a nudge or two from Paige appeared to pay out. I know this will be a great experience for her. We are extremely proud.


What do we got for her today, BOB!?
