Hi everyone! It is getting harder and harder to keep in touch with everyone especially with so many of you living far away so I decided to start up a family blog to try and keep everyone in the loop on our family!

We are all doing great! Daniel and Leslie are doing good. Both are working right now. Daniel is really doing well at his job and just received employee of the month so that was a neat honor for him. Lily is getting huge! She is talking up a storm and has an attitude that won't quit!! She loves going to the pool and her favorite thing to do is to ride the slide.

Andrew is good, he is graduated and done with high school! He is working full time for the summer with Daniel and is really doing well there. He will be starting up at Utah State the end of August and is a bit nervous and excited about that. He just finished his first season with the Logan Stampede a semi-pro football team here in the valley (Daniel plays also) and he did great! He was chosen to the all-star team and they had their game last weekend and he played awesome!! There was a whole article in the newspaper about him.

Anissa is good. She finished a successful dance year this year. She danced solo in her competitions this year and placed 2nd in two of the competitions and 3rd in the other. Her group did really well also. She is a hard worker and is getting better and better! She is staying busy this summer babysitting and loves it! She is a bit nervous about starting a new school but also excited.

Jeff and I are doing good. Been a crazy summer and lots has happened but finally getting back on track. As most of you know we moved. We had an opportunity to buy a house and move back to Smithfield. We love Smithfield and have missed it so when the opportunity presented itself we felt it was the right thing to do. We have loved our new home and neighbors it has been a great move for us! Jeff is still working hard as a mechanic. I'm still working in the Emergency Room at the hopsital and also do some home care on the side. I will also be a student at Utah State in the fall where I will be finishing up my pre-requisites for the nursing program.

Well, that's a brief update for now!! Hope that everyone is doing fine. I will post more later when I have more time and can figure out more what I'm doing!!! We love you all.
