Long Time....

It has been a long time since I last wrote anything on our family blog. Sorry:(
In the last year:

Alene-- gave birth to Jack in June---I tend him during the day while Alene and Mike teach school--(spoiled Grandma)--He is the cutest!

William-- still going to school at the UofU-- he is now on a new med. for his psoriasis and it seems to be working well.

Spencer-- returned home from his mission to Germany in April--- Married his sweetheart, Miranda Wilson, in the Provo temple in August---
they are now expecting their first child this November:)

Scott-- Graduated from Spanish Fork High School and LDS seminary in May-- now he is a "Super Senior" and still loves riding the bus to school. Rebekah gets to eat lunch with him at school now.

Christian-- participated in the award winning Salem Hills High School Marching band-- Is a senior this year and will graduate in May (can't we keep him in school longer?)I'm not ready for him to grow up.

Rebekah-- Started at SFHS as a sophomore-- the only piccolo in the marching band-- has fun having Scott in the same school with her.
Jonathan-- Is finally in Jr. High school-- he plays the trombone (a perfect instrument for a tall, skinny kid).

Benjamin-- Left the Cub Scouts and is now in the Boy Scouts and is loving it. He is working on his first merit badges now.

Bill-- keeping busy as bishop of our ward. He has conducted seven funerals in the last six months-- too many.

None of us can seem to get enough of Jack. He is so much fun. He now knows that he is cute and smiles with his nose wrinkled and gets everyone to smile back at him. He has seven teeth and is working on the eighth. Alene has kept up her blog with his progress each month and it is fun to read.
