Summer is over....

The summer got so crazy busy with 4 weeks in a row of Soccer Tournaments from Colorado to Layton to Park City to Sandy! Lots of time in the car and no time to blog!
They were great tournaments and I never get tired of watching my boys play soccer! It was very hard for them to go back to school this week but so good for me to have my mornings back so that I can actually work! I have so much Heritage Makers work waiting for me and need to get busy!
I am very excited for the fall! I love this time of year and I love helping customers make some great Christmas gifts! Are your Christmas projects done?!

Home.....and off again!

Cody returned from Nauvoo on Saturday night! He LOVED it and couldn't stop talking! He wanted to download all of his pictures onto the computer right away so that we could all see them! I am so grateful for his experience (and a little jealous)! He is such a great kid with such a strong testimony! We washed his clothes and packed again....off to his hi-adventure scout camp! It doesn't really sound much like camping....pizza hut, river rafting, biking, movies, fast food, hiking....all in Moab....how fun is that!
Austin left this morning for his scout camp as well. He will be finishing up all of his needed merit badges so that he can get started on his eagle project! We need to find eagle projects for Cody and Austin! So much to do...so little time!
Cassidee left for Clear Creek camp this morning! She is my 4th and last one to attend! It is such a great experience for them but it was hard to let my baby go! She was nervous but also excited to be with all of her friends! This will be her first time away from home for this many days! I am sure she will have a blast!
Ashlee and I are off to St. George....a little work and a little play.....we needed a little break!

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.
