Off to Nauvoo

Cody left for EFY in Nauvoo yesterday. I was getting a little nervous a couple of weeks ago with the flooding...hoping it didn't reach much in Nauvoo. He was so excited to go and especially to go into the Nauvoo temple and participate in Baptisms for the Dead...what an amazing experience that will be! He still remembers attending the dedication of the Nauvoo temple at our Stake Center several years ago and has always wanted to be there. I am so excited for him! I threatened him with his picture taking this year....girls in every picture are okay but I would like to see the church sites in the pictures as well!
We will post them when he gets home this weekend! Then he gets to turn around and leave for Moab Hi Adventure Scout camp...busy month for him!

Summer...finally!

Well, after tons of cold and rain....it is so nice to have summer temperatures again! Our pool actually opened this weekend and the kids are so excited. Ashlee plans to swim everyday this summer and I know it will be great exercise for her!
The boys started summer soccer training this week. They have to get up early but it is so good for them and they really enjoy it.
Be sure to share your blog with us so that we can link you! It is so fun to look at each other's blogs!

Starting Over...

Well, I started a blog last fall but wasn't very good at keeping up on it so I guess I am going to try again. This time I think I will teach the kids how to use it as well so that they can help me stay caught up!
Last week was a nail biting week with the boys trying out for their soccer teams again. Many new boys showed up this year so it made us all very nervous but in the end it was okay...they both ended up back on their Premier teams! Yeah!
Cody also started a 'real' job recently. It is so nice for him to have his own money. Ashlee isn't having much luck in finding a job but we will just keep looking!
Cassidee spends every day playing with friends....that is nothing new! Austin just returned from EFY at BYU this week. He had a great time and I am grateful for this experience in my teenagers' lives.
