Quarterly update. :)

I am not a very good blogger. There. I said it. So, I'll give you an update and maybe I'll return in a few months with more.

I am doing great. Working with all the kids in primary is so fun - they are all so earnest and honest. I love staying home with my kids and so appreciate Ed for letting me do that, especially in this economy. Ed is having fun working with the Young Men. He really loves pressuring them to get their goals achieved. Kind of reminds me of a Scout leader he had as a youth, my dad ;). Kira is very excited to start school. She is also very curious and wants to know about everything. She asked me the other day what the girls do in Young Womens. I asked her what she thought they did. She said they learned how to be princesses. I thought that was a pretty good answer. Jared is Mister Imagination. He is always coming up with a story for everything, especially if it involves Spider-Man or any other super hero. Carli is walking all over and loves wearing shoes. I have no idea where this trait came from. She is a girl that knows what she wants and is getting really good at communicating that.

Life here is pretty good. We just finished taking out all the grass in the backyard to put in a sand box and vegetable garden. I love CA because of this!! We are going to take out grass in the front yard for flowers! Oh, we also cut back our front yard tree. It was an all day project. Now the tree is just the stump going up. Looks pretty strange. Hopefully it grows back.

Hmm... I guess that's us in a nutshell. If anything exciting happens maybe I'll blog about it. :)

Yeah Julie! I'm glad you updated your blog. Quarterly updates are good. I love Kira's comment that the Young Women learn to be princesses. That is too cute. We need to get together with our kids---Kai is going through "Jared withdrawals". He talks about Jared constantly and every time we leave the house he asks if we're going to see Jared. I know, I'm a terrible mom. Poor kid. We should get together, though, really. Thanks for being such a good friend. You've been awesome.
