Sometimes genetics smiles upon you and gives you the best traits from your mom and dad. But sometimes, you get chromosomes that would be better off remaining at the bottom of the gene pool. Jacob got his old man’s ankles. Too bad for him. He went down hard in his soccer game on Saturday. Neither …

Can Do!
Jacob decided to run for the 8th grade representative for student council for the next school year. In 8th grade at his junior high school, they don’t have the traditional student council positions, just a couple representative spots: one male, and one female representative. The application process was rigorous. Jacob had to get a teacher …
Basketball has come and gone.
The three older kids have been busy playing lots of basketball over the past few months. Jake started back in October on a competition team so he has been playing for months and months. Megan and Katelyn both played Junior Jazz from January to March. The girls love playing basketball and they improve so much …
Target Practice
A couple weeks ago Grandpa Mike invited us to go out shooting in the west desert. It seems like we haven’t been able to go the last few times, but mainly because our invites have been something like this: I’m going shooting. I’m already in Lehi. Love to have you come along. Can you join me …
First Priesthood Session
Now that Jacob is a deacon, he can come along with Grandpa Mike and I to the Priesthood Session of General Conference. Since it was his first time, we decided to beg for tickets and try to go to the actually session instead of viewing the broadcast like we normally do. Our bishop had two …
Whoa! I have a twelve year old!
Jake turned twelve this past week. Where have all the years gone?! Twelve is a big deal around here. Turning twelve means you leave Primary (a church program for all the children 3-11) and go into Young Mens (youth program for ages 12-18). It is a pretty big milestone for Jake. It also means he …
School’s out – Let’s Celebrate!
School has ended and what a better way to finish off a great school year than to have a celebration! It began at about 9:30 am when nearly 30+ of Jake’s classmates arrived at my house. I was informed by my sixth grader that no games of duck-duck-goose would be acceptable so instead we left …
Sixth Grade Graduation!
Can you believe it?! My oldest just graduated from sixth grade! I am now a mother of a junior high student. Yikes!! Graduation was pretty quick and simple, but I enjoyed watching the slide show and the review of the past year. I can’t wait to see what the future brings for this boy. I …
Fathers and Sons
Our ward had its annual Fathers and Sons camp out last weekend. Every time I go camping with the scouts, Drew wants to come along. “This one probably isn’t good for little dudes, buddy,” is my typical response. So Drew was super excited to get to come along this time. Starting about two weeks before …
RSL Excite, Jazz Disappoint
Utah isn’t the best place for pro sports, but over the last two weekends we had some great opportunities to cheer on our local teams. On April 28, Megan and I got invited to go to a Real Salt Lake soccer match. Megan has been playing soccer for several years and was excited to go …
