catch up...

so much to catch up on....

School is getting ready to start next week,
and you all know how I feel about the school schedules....
at least, Spencer and Lynzie will be going to the same school this year, maybe that will help?
he's in 9th grade and she will be in 7th.
I'm excited for Spencer to start seminary this year!

we're had a fun summer, for Christmas one of our presents was a season pass to 7 peaks water park, and I'm happy to announce we got our money out of it and then some, that's been fun...

Our next door neighbors son, finally came home off his mission, we'd never met him but we knew all about him, him and his girlfriend got married last Thursday and I got to help decorate and sit at there book... it was fun to share in their special day.  It made me think of my own two girls and how one day they will be getting married and I want it to be a special day for them as well...

Caitlyn is flying out of here on Tuesday for SVU....
BUT...... after doing her finances she began to realize how expensive it was going to be and decided to go to school here at least for a year... I'm glad she's smart, I wanted to say "we told you so" but of course, we didn't.... it always has to be there decisions! So, she will still go out and spend 8 days visiting her grandma and cousins....

Spencer went to Trek one week and scout camp the next one....
 they didn't pass off a lot of badges, they mostly went just to have fun... and boy, they sure did!

Lynzie went to Girls camp for the first time, she had a spiritual fun time.!

Anyway, we need to have a new family picture taken....
it's been a year already and when I look up at the top of my blog,
we all look so different.... well, not all of us, but the kids are sure growing up, Lynzie is taller than both Candice and Caitlyn now and she is almost taller than me.... I don't know how I feel about that!?

We've been able to hang out a lot with Kurt's cousins, some of them we haven't seen for years, so that be fun...

I'll probably go to some classes at BYU education week, I've never been and have always wanted to go.... Lori one of Kurt's cousin that we haven't seen forever is taking me under her wing and helping me with what classes to take, she's a pro at education week, she goes every year. It's been nice to reconnect with her again.

My mom is getting ready to go on a mission, I think she will live at home and do her mission close by. she's talked about going forever, so I'm glad she is doing it... I told her she needed to go half way across the world to get the full missionary experience ha, ha ....
she'll do good!

I"ll write more sooner next time than later........ I hope!
