Ok. Time for an update and hopefully a good habit.

A new family picture with our WHOLE family now. Mitchell is now 8, Lincoln is now 5, Porter is 2, and Spencer is 1.

In recent news, Robert went back to work for Gunnison City managing thier swimming pool in April. He is very happy there- always more than enough to keep him busy and the community is so glad to have him back as well. Robert has had pnemonia 3 times this year and is hopefully well enough now that we can have him get the vaccine for it.

I am still the Personal Progress Leader in the Mayfield Ward Young Women's. I like my calling and the progress that I am helping to spur on. I am excercicing every day and watching what I eat. I have spent the last 8 years working on my boys, I am going to work on me. My goal is to get down to my target weight before I hit 30 next year. That gives me 14 months to loose 40 lbs. A goal I think is more than achievable. I am excited to work and get to where I can have the energy I need to keep up with my boys.

Mitchell started Scouts last winter and is LOVING it. He is 2 requirements away from getting his wolf badge. Mitchell also started piano lessons in the spring and is going to start swim team next month. He is very excited to be in Mrs. Hatch's 3rd grade class. They have lockers and a pet gecko named Phineas. A lot of his friends are in his class. He loves being in school and is a good student. He is getting tall-over half my height and is putting on actual muscle mass! Where did my little boy go? It is fun to see him get so big.

Lincoln is such a stud in the new glasses he got. He ruined the pair he started out with last fall. He is now in Kindergarten- Mrs. Oliver's morning class. He gets to ride the bus there with Mitchell and also rides the bus home just before lunch. He is so far ahead of his class- he is working on times tables now. The teacher said she will adjust his curriculum as best as she can. I really think she will. Link also started piano in the spring and will keep going in his 3rd year of dance with TeriLee Hamond starting next month.

Porter has been moved into the huge bedroom with both of his older brothers and is very excited about that. He loves to go swimming in the mornings with his mom when she goes to excercise. He has finally figured out that he can go anywhere in the pool by himself with a life jacket. After his fall out of our 2 story window in July, all he has to show is a scar on his leg which he still refers to as his owie and says that he fell out of the window. I don't think he will forget that one for a while.

Spencer is walking almost everywhere he goes now. He loves to dance to any music, even if it is the music he makes playing the piano while his brothers are practicing. He likes to sing with the radio. And with his moving upstairs, he completes the boys' apartment. I call it the bachelor pad. It is fun having all 4 of them have thier own floor. Spencer has finally got all 4 of his molers through. A feat I am very glad to say I will never have to do again.
