More catch up

Quite a few of Jeff's family members came out in early August when Kiefer was ordained a Teacher, and our nephew Linkin was blessed. Nathan and Andria brought their whole family, we haven't seen them for a while and it was really fun to play for a few days with them. Here are some snapshots...

A whole new blog!

For some reason my other blog has died. Maybe someday I'll be able to bring it back to life, but for now I just decided to do a whole new blog. I'm not going to try and detail everything that's happened, but here are some recent highlights.

Thane broke his elbow in May, right as school was ending. He fell off the monkey bars at school during a race aross them. He spent the first 6 weeks of summer in a cast from above the elbow down. Including primary softball and Cub Scout Day Camp. Swim Team had to be cancelled, but he did have a waterproof cast, which meant he could take showers, jump in the pool, pretty much do whatever. It was so lightweight, and if you have to have a cast, this was the one to have. He then spent 2 more weeks in a splint, and 2 more weeks on restricted activity to make sure it was all healed properly. Finally on July 19th he was pronounced whole, and able to go back to all the crazy stuff he likes to do.

Quinn took part in the Elementary School Variety Show, here he is (center, huge black wig and red tye dye shirt) with a few of his buddies after the show. They had a 60's theme, in case you were wondering about the cool clothes. I helped him tye dye the shirt, he thought that was pretty cool.

Starting Over...

This photo is from the first day of school. Kiefer is in 9th grade this year, yes he's a Freshman!! Thank goodness he's still at the Junior High, and doesn't move to the actual High School until 10th grade, I am not ready for that!! Quinn is starting Junior High, 7th grade this year, Tate is 5th, Thane 3rd, and Sage 1st. 1st week of school is done, and only 9 more months to go.
