One thing about

each kid.....

I can finally upload pictures again ~ hip hip hooray!! Since it's been awhile, I thought I'd start back with one important and/or funny thing about each of my offspring.

First, Katie....I can hardly believe that my Katie will be 20 in about 6 weeks. Seriously, where did the time go?!? And how could this be possible since I am still only 29? Anyway, Katie has been doing fantastic! We absolutely enjoyed seeing her at Thanksgiving and then again at Christmas. She is having a great year in Provo, busy but great! This picture is from the Santa 5k run she did in Provo the first weekend in December. Every runner got to run in a Santa get-up. Katie had a blast!!

Tyler has been having a great senior year of high school so far. He finished off his final football season as a varsity offensive lineman. He was asked to be the escort for a friend on the Homecoming Court and she actually won....talk about a brush with fame :)

Anna adores being old enough to go to middle school and has had a fabulous start at Judson. She just got a cell phone for her 12th birthday in December (I need to do a birthday post still for her, so more pics on that later) and is texting like a pro already. She loves being a Beehive as well. This pic was taken last October at the American Girl store in Seattle. We had such a fun time ~ I love that even though she's getting older, she still loves fun things like this!

I realized I never posted a picture of Rachel as Bellatrix Lestrange so here you go ~ she loved her costume and got into character easily. Rachel started swimming Bearcats this year and has improved so much. I finally convinced her to read Harry Potter on her own. Two summers ago, Katie and Rachel read them together, which was a great experience for both, but I told her she couldn't be a true Harry fan unless she had read the books on her own.

What fun these four are! Thanks for enduring my "catch up" post!
