Wow it has been awhile. I am on my work computer so there are no pictures currently to add, I will get to that. It has been a crazy several weeks. The kids and I made it to So. Cal the week of the 24th. We visited lots of friends and had a great time. I left the older three so they could enjoy the youth super activity at the beach. Towards the end of the activity poor little Kortney got hit by a wave that knocked her down and as she was getting up another larger wave hit her she tumbled and broke her collar bone. We really must have weak collar bones in this family that makes two for her and Corbin is just ahead with three. It was pretty awful having her hurt in Ca and me stuck here in Ut. I am just so greatful for great friends who take care of my kids when I can't, thanks Diana.

School has also started. The kids went back Monday. It has been a great week. I cleaned a little, still procrastinating the painting, and read the rest of the twilight series. I start next Wed. and I am almost excited. I went over and got my books, ouch! It is quite expensive, thank goodness for govt. grants. I was noticing all the pretty young things there getting ready as well. All that primping and posing for the opposite sex, I am so glad that is not me. I think it will be ok going back to campus. There were quite a few just like me, older and heading back to finish.

Corbin and Trevor had their first games this week. Trevor has decided football is not for him but he will finish out the season. I am hoping he will change his mind. I wish there were boys in the neighborhood he could play catch with. Maybe then he could improve and would decide it's not so bad. Corbin had an ok game. They lost 2-0, but he said he played great and did his job. He is now the smallest guy on the line, but he held his own and protected the quarterback. Not that it did any good. The kid threw 6 interceptions I believe. What are you going to do? He came home tolerable, not mad or anything so that was good. Trevor had 4 scrimmages and they did great. His team is expected to loose because they are a new team and yet between them and four of the other schools they won 3 and tied the other, against the likes of Provo, Timpview, Orem and Timpanogos. Not bad for the new kids. He did ok. He's second string safety and he got 1 fumble recovery, a tackle or two and almost intercepted. If he worked harder and maybe played another year or two he would be pretty good, too bad he hates the two-a-days and conditioning. Maybe the games will make it worth it. I can only hope.
