UPDATE on Family

My how time has flown by. In another week and the last of the five babies will turn two! They are pretty much starting the terribly two's - some more so than others, but if you want my very unbiased opinion, there is not a "terrible" thing about any one of them. Yes, Ava says NO too much, and cuts up the dresses her mom and I work hard at sewing, but she is just "helping". And a child should learn to help. Sammy and Austin can throw a fit that brings tears of laughter to my eyes, but they are really showing athleticism, rolling, jumping, tossing, turning, circling arms. Exercise is good for children. Mya can run like the wind and get into anything before you can catch her, but I see future track possibilities there and she's learning to follow in her mothers footsteps - that's good! Addy is the oldest and likes to eat - pretty much anything, and is so smart and adorable she can trick me into whatever she wants.
Kynra turned 12 and is going to Young Women now. (She's a head taller than Payton, but weighs less - SKINNY!) She is kind, and still sweet, plays on softball teams, reads tons, and is growing up way too fast. Payton, is smart and happy (and there was a time we thought she'd never be happy). She is busy and loves playing school - but of course must be the teacher.
Kelsey is playing softball now too, and shows some real desire towards it. She's a bit of an enigma, and keeps us smiling and a bit baffled!
Jackson is playing basketball and baseball and dominating in both. He's tall and handsome and so very smart. Loves to read and likes to call Gram and talk about the books we've both read! (I love it).
Dallin - well, what can I say. He got glasses not too long ago and can now see things that make his mother feel guilty for now noticing before. He struck out 3 times in his last baseball game and told his mom it was all the umpires fault and did they think they were playing golf? Gotta love it! Dallin also runs like the wind! His nickname is "Dash".
Macie is tall and skinny and busy, busy, busy! She laughs and cries in the same breath - so full of life and emotion! Loves to dress up and loves to call and talk to Gram. We miss each other and I need to go to Idaho Falls more!
Taiia's hair is still growing faster than her mom can keep up with it. She has enough for all the babies combined to share. She loves playing with stuffed animals and likes to wake up before the rest of her family and come to Grandma's room to snug and watch cartoons before I go to work.
That's the update on all the Grandkids, which is the most important thing to report, and now the kids.
DG is on the run - always. His team at SLCC had a great baseball year taking 3rd. His cousin Alex played for him this year and that was so fun to have family around even more. (Kelsey has a crush on Alex). He refereed a lot of college basketball and loves it. Jodi is a nurse and works at Primary Children's hospital 2 nights a week in the head trauma unit, then chases the girls around the rest of her time.
Kimberlee is working 2 jobs. Skywest and at a tennis club, which is her dear love, so she can fly to watch tennis wherever she wants - and she does. Alyn is working for a couple hotels and finally has some nights off. He's worked graveyards forever and now has some day shifts.
John and Mattie still love Idaho Falls, although it bothered Mattie that Jaxon is learning "Idaho state history" instead of Utah's. John works long hours doing his physical therapy and they are both just beginning the run, run, run life with the kids games.
Breck is still the Branch manager at Mountain America Credit Union in Saratoga Springs, and Matt is Mr. Mom with Austin while he continues his education.
Kamron will graduate from UVU this summer with his degree in Aeronautics and hopes to get on there as a pilot instructor to continue to build flight hours. Keisha is just plain busy. Cooking, making cakes for birthdays, sewing, doing everyone's hair and mostly cleaning up after Ava.
Mac is currently in Queen Creek Arizona at the ATP flight training school. He will finish mid July with his pilots training and hopes to stay on with them as an instructor as well, to continue building his flight hours. Megan has her hands full with Addy and Zoee and dad not around. We just returned from a trip to Arizona to spend some time with Mac before he heads out on his cross country month long trip. It was a fun trip and so good for them to all be together for a brief while.
I'm still working at BYU, and Relief Society keeps me hopping. I do a lot of piece quilting and am anxious to spend time in the flower gardens if this Utah weather ever cooperates.
Well, there is my update. I'll try now to tell it as it comes!
