Stetson started part time at mountain crest high school. He is taking a robotics class, engineering principles and seminary. He's a super smart techy kid who has built several PC's for himself and friends. He also really enjoys anything outdoorsy. He went on a 15 mile bike ride this week, an 8 mile back packing trip last weekend and an overnighter to Bear Lake this weekend to fish and tube and play on the water. He does best if kept very busy.
Evelyn has started Ballet classes and really loves it. She is super excited to be apart of The Nutcracker later this year. She just turned 12 today and helped me make her favorite dessert, Lemon meringue pie. Ironically that was my mothers favorite too! She still plays the violin and is starting orchestra next week.
Hailey is prone to hurting herseft, unfortunately! This week while at Costco she somehow fell and sprained both her wrists and also her right elbow. She isn't able to pick up anything heavy. I'm sure she is liking not having to do some of her chores.
Bristol lost her 2 front teeth yesterday. She sounds different now. Her and Ezra are often playing silly made up games together and mostly getting along.
Ezra has all his church teachers wrapped around his finger without knowing it. He is just a kind, loving, fun kid. Who loves Silas and all of his siblings. Silas is a good eater, very active, and very smart. Communication is lacking and sometimes causes discomfort for all. We hope his vocabulary will increase soon. "He seems to think screaming at people is effective means of communication."(Stetson)
Spencer did an amazing job getting our bus ready for our Mount Rushmore trip. He worked very hard long hours at work and then came home and kept on working. We were able to get away for 8 days as a family. He is a great adventure planner. Now he Has been working on organizing our garage and new shed. Hopefully, as we organize, we will be able to find all his tools so we can finish the bus.
I am still primary president and gearing up for the third primary program since being called. Thankfully we have a smaller primary. I am also striving to preserve all that we grew in our garden and save it for later. I'm sure there are a 100 other things I could add, but we are staying busy and strong in our testimonies of Jesus Christ. We love you all and are so grateful for your influence in our lives.
