Well, I got religion and decided to start posting. This is actually the first time I have ever posted to a blog (that I know of) so this is an event
Melissa is now safely deposited in Idaho. She has a good roommate, seems to be adjusting to college. It was hard seeing the last one go. I didnt think it would be an issue but it was.
Jadyn is cute 4 month old. She is attached to her mom, especially when grandpa picks her up. I get about 3 minutes without tears, less if she happens to see her mom walk by.
Jace and Lindsey are doing well. Jace is excelling at school and the jobs he has received through school (he is provided work opportunities that students are usually given).
Kelly and Travis' airsoft business is doing well in troubled times. They moved to a nicer location in Orem and have already seen an increase in business. Brett is one of their best employees. He is anxious to get into school and believes he will be in a position to do so pretty soon. Tyler and Elizabeth and kids are doing well - even though Tyler's company sells construction software, they are doing OK. Tyler is traveling a lot. We dont get to see them enough but they are surrounded by good family and friends in Sacramento.
Nothing else new to report. We have enjoyed some family visits this summer and look forward to the St. George trip.

Kaelynn's Mission Return, September 8, 2010
Kaelynn returned home! She looks great, she had a wonderful experience and is ready to move on. We had a lovely dinner with many family members that night. Also, Andrea and Chris called her. Thanks to everyone for making it a great day. First day back started well--we started the day with a three mile run and then scripture study.

So here is the quick family update.
Tim and Jordan are getting more serious about moving back to Utah. They have put their house up for sale. If they don't sell in the next few months they will take it off of the market and try again this spring. They really want their kids to be closer to the family and Jordan wants to start dancing again ( something that would be very difficult for her to do in Colorado since all of her connections are in Utah).
Cole and Kristi have finally settled in Henderson Nevada. Cole work for an Emergency Physicians group that staffs three hospitals in Las Vegas. They are renting a home for this first year so they can save for a big down payment on a house when they are ready to buy. The kids have already found friends. Ellis has started 2nd grade and Grant has started pre-school.
Teral and Eden have both started back to school. Eden is in preschool and this year the teacher is focusing very strongly on making him more independant. She will not carry him anywhere (like his teacher last year did) she insists that he put on his own back pack and jacket and that he eats what everyone eats for school lunch. Teral said he is taking these lessons very seriously. He does not want her to hold his hand or help him into his car seat. This is Teral's last semester at the community college. She plans on transferring to Marquette University in the winter to finish her bachelor's degree. Eddie has started back teachin at the alternative High School and coaching soccer.
Stu and Alli are in the "home stretch". This is Stu's last semester of classroom work. After that he does nothing but clinical rotations and then he will take his state boards in the spring. Alli is done with her classroom work and is doing clinical rotations until March and then she will take her state boards.
Cary and I are the same: I still run and he still works on the house.
