Homecoming

My conscience finally got to me . . .

General Update:
Dad went to London about two weeks ago. He had tons of fun, and brought back a marimekko newspaper so I had tons of fun too. Besides teaching classes, he works on the library space doing his favorite activity of drywalling, and sanding spackle.

Mom is homeschooling Atticus which is a full time job. She also is running a TON and runs about ten miles every Friday, which is amazing. As much as she talks about being old, we all know she could beat anyone in a race.

Elias is running on the varsity cross country team. He ran a 18:18 5k, and a 4:52 mile. In other words, way outta my league. He is taking sweet classes, and AP world history as a sophmore. He spends most of his spare time sleeping, eating, and running. Just as an example, yesterday he ate two bagaels, a veggie burger, a carrot, a peach, and a lot of chips JUST FOR LUNCH. Yup people, he should enter a contest.

Satchel is going to PUPS academy, which is at provo high school. It's a program for gifted 7th and 8th graders that lets them take high school courses. He loves latin, and has started playing the trombone, which provides regular entertainment for the entire family. We hope he will progress from "hot cross buns" in the next 5 months or so. He also plays soccer, which will soon transfer to futsal. This is not his absolute favorite activity. Just as an example of his continuing craziness: "this bag smells way weird. I can't find the camera. Dad's awesome hat. Hey, that was a Haiku!". This was about 13 minutes ago.

Atticus loves soccer. His team went undefeated this season, and he scored a goal per game. He is doing 6th grade math as a 4th grader, and can name all the capitals of all the countries in South America. He reads approximately every spare second he has, and keeps me company when I run, or play soccer.

I am not running cross country this season, because I have a job! It's actually really fun. I work at a waffle shop, and make belgian waffles and crepes. My parents told me I can NEVER give my number to guys (the place is right next to campus). Besides working I spend my time doing homework for AP classes. It's really not that exciting. Homecoming is this weekend, and if I feel like it I might post pictures.

A calm and serene Sunday afternoon

Satchel gave a talk in Sacrament meeting today. It was great. School has been going well, and hopefully for spring break this week we will be going somewhere warm. All of our flowers have been coming up and subsequently freezing to death because it keeps snowing. I'm trying to convince Satchel to start blogging on here because I (obviously) don't often enough. I'm pretty sure he would do an awesome job.

Satchel's b day

Satchel turned twelve and was ordained a deacon. He got a flip video camera, so all of us have to be on our guard now. To celebrate we went and saw Tangled, and had his favorite food (pizza). Dessert was blackberry cream cheese pie.
