I'm Back!!

Thanks to Alot of guilt from my sisters and others i have decided to start journaling again. It has been almost 1 1/2 years since my last post. Pretty sad right?! Alot has taken place in that time and i am kinda sad its missing so i will do a quick run thru of each peep in the house so you can see where everyone is at.

KENADY is in 2nd grade and just turned 8. She was Baptized March 5th and did a great job. I am so proud of her.

Kenady has really turned into our drama queen. Some days we just stop and look at each other not sure how to react to the drama coming from such a small person. She also has her sassy side and loves, loves, loves justin Bieber. For her Birthday i took her and some of her girl friends to see the movie "Never say Never". Can i just say i wish i could of had a video camera follow us around that night because these girls were hilarious. I think the pictures says it all.

LOGAN is in 4th grade and is our little straight A student. He has never had a B in his school history. I hope it always comes easy to him. i have 1 word for Logan. Basketball. He eats, sleeps and breaths it. He wakes up in the morning and gets ready for school. He plays basketball until its time to go to school. He goes to school and plays basketball until the bell rings. After school he goes to basketball practice for 2 hours. After practice he comes home and plays basketball until it is to dark to see. He then comes inside and tells me all about basketball and watches some on tv with dad. The next morning he repeats the whole process . He is obsessed with it but there are worse things he could be doing so its ok. The picture below is what Logan's hands looks like everyday after practice.GROSS!
STEWART has had the most dramatic change in the year and a half. It is really funny to see the faces of people who haven't seen him in a long time. The 1st thing they always say is "He looks sooo much like Trevor!" He has grown up up and has really thinned out. I now have to look up at him, weird! I contribute most of it to his love of biking. I love that he is passionate about something but i don't love all the accidents and doctor visits it creates. He and his friends have started montaging all there cool bike tricks. He is actually pretty good at making montages. I will have to post one in the near future. He started High school this year and it is really making me feel old. The hormones have kicked in and he goes from one minute loving me to the next minute he hates me and then 10 minutes later he loves me again. Having a teenager i am learning is really exhausting!! I miss the days when his biggest worry was whether he should have pizza snacks or mac n cheese for lunch or what toy he was going to play with that day. I am understanding grey hair so much more now. wahhhh!

I am pretty much doing the same thing as i was doing a year and a half ago. I am still teaching preschool and loving it. I have been on a organizing kick right now. I just finished gutting my pantry and painting every inch of it. Travis designed some lazy susans for the corners and i reorganized everything so i could actually find things. I love it now! sometimes i go stand in there just to admire its cleanness. On to my next room. Maybe the downstairs bathroom?!

AFTER:

Travis is a busy man. When he's not at work he is busy being young men's president or moving someone in the ward or doing some kind of service for others. He is also doing a few side jobs right now. Maybe i can get him to take some pictures of his work when he is done. He likes to take the boys shooting a few times a month and just got Kenady her very own gun for a Baptism gift. You can imaging the horror on my moms face when he pulled it out. He is also waaay into Basketball. If he's not watching it on tv or going to the rebels game he is playing it with the guys at church usually until 1 or 2 in the morning. CRAZY!
