WOW, its been a long time.

Well I'm only going to touch on a few things that have happened since I last wrote, in December, and then start on the stuff that is going on now.

We moved from Mapleton to Provo in March, and have enjoyed living near Patrick's brother Adam and his family. We had a great summer, going to my Dad's graduation in June and to family reunions in July. My Grandma Smith passed away in Aug, and I will really miss her. I am still working at our business and Patrick is still in school.

Now for the present.

Soccer started up in July and I am coaching Amanda's team again. Paige is also playing club this year. Both their teams are undefeated so far. Amanda is a great Keeper, and Paige has scored a bunch of goals for her team. It takes up all our time going to games and practicing. Pat and I split up with him usually taking Marin and Jaida, because I coach and its hard having the kids there.

I have 3 of my kids in school all day which has been so nice. They are all doing really well. Marin has taken off with reading and has really impressed me. Amanda loves reading too, she reads about 2 books a week. These aren't just little books either. They have about 300 pages each. I can get so many things done with just Jaida home. She loves playing with her cousin Eliana and so we trade off with them because its easier to have them both then just Jaida alone. They keep each other happy.

Pat is still going to BYU and is doing well in his classes. He has his flag football games going on every week and I look forward to them all week. I love watching them. This last week he got punched in the face accidentally while he was going up for a catch and it broke is nose. He came running off the field with it bleeding like a faucet. Ewww it was gross.

Here are a few fun Pics of recent.




Ok, well I have tried to load some pics and this is the only one that would. That's ok, its cute anyways. I will post some pics soon.
