Time to catch up!

It has been way too long since I have posted on this blog. Wasn't even sure if I could still log on! I look at the pictures that I left posted and it amazes me how much the kids have grown. I can't believe how fast they grow up! I have pictures and some video to show...here we go!



Hayden seems to be all grown up...driving, dating, and almost ready to head into his senior year. We just had student government elections, and he was elected Senior Class President. He is really excited. He loved it when he served as class president his sophomore year, and wanted so badly to do it again before he left high school. We are so proud of him!

Koen is a freshman. He would really like to be Hayden's age. He is go, go, go. He doesn't slow down very often. He's always smiling and has a great group of friends that we frequently see every Friday night. He loves to work out, and will show you his "arms" frequently. He learned quite the cool dance when he tried out for Sophomore class prez...he didn't make it, but he worked so hard and we are so proud of him for trying. I will try and get his dance number uploaded to view!

Rylee is 12 going on 16! She is quite the young lady. People are shocked when we tell them that she is only 12. She has her dad's heighth which I think makes her look older. She loves to be with her brothers as much as she can, especially when they bring their cute friends over to our house. Volleyball is her first love. She loves to play it night and day and has become really good. She broke her own coach's previous record and scored 15 points in a row in a game a couple weeks ago. She has a killer serve...it is so fun to watch the other team's reaction when she goes up to serve.

And then there's Evan. Of course the other kids claim him to be the favorite, I just call him the youngest. And I guess with being the youngest comes certain privileges. He is our full fledged Soccer player. Loves to play defense. He also has a great love for chess. While I am updating this, we are at the Utah Elementary School State Chess Tournament. There are 6 rounds. As of this moment, he has won one, lost two, stale mated one, and a draw on the other. Round 6 will tell us whether he goes home with a trophy or not. It has been a REALLY long day, but he is having a blast!
