First one to leave the house was Parker. Can you sense the enthusiasm?
Parker started a new school this year for milddle school. He is in 7th grade, an awesome student and takes piano lessons. It is fun to hear hime play and he is progressing well.
Spencer is a freshman and started a new school for high school. He decided to try out for the swim team and is on the JV team. He does very well and loves the competition. School is not his favorite but he still excells and works hard.
Treovr and Brenna still go to the same school. Trevor is in 5th grade, plays soccer and has lots of friends. He is always coming home with invites from friends to go to movies, football games etc. Um, I think still a little young to be wanting to be so social--right?? He is a very hard worker.
Brenna is in first grade and got the teacher she wanted. Having a girl in school after all these boys is quite different. Clothes and friends are a big part of the drama of life. This is all new to me as you can see the boys are happy in jeans and t-shirts and don't have friend drama. Fun times!
Not long after school started I got to drive with Stef and Kelsi to Rexburg to drop Kelsi off at BYU-I. Can you say FUN WEEKEND? Um--5 hours in the car each way talking nonstop and catching up on life and solving world problems. We did take a side trip to Yellowstone. It was a beautiful day, not many people and fun to see such beautiful scenery. Here is Stef blending right in with her blue shirt with the turquoise water behind.

Me at some steaming, bubbling, venting, geyser that was pretty cool. Thanks for the great weekend Stef and to Kyle thanks for suggesting I tag along and for taking over all the craziness by yourself so I could go.

Fun post, Kris. It's good to see pictures of your kids. They are awesome. Our kids love hanging out with them. Too bad we don't get to do it more often. The picture of Parker cracked me up.
That's fun that you got to go to Rexburg with Stef. I didn't know you were doing that. It's also good to know that the world's problems are in good hands.
your kids are looking so old! the one that i feel like has changed the most since I saw him was parker! so fun that all your kids are doing activities they love! and i'm jealous you got 10 hours of straight talking with stef!
Great Update. I had just checked your blog two days ago and hoped to have an autumn update. Thank you. Good luck to all the students. And extra good luck to the two adults left at home.
We already have drama and we're only in preschool so far...what am I in for? At least its good to know there will be less with Mitchell:) Cute pictures of all your kids and fun to hear what they are all up to!
