Schools IN session
School started for the boys on August 19, for Jennifer August 24. What a busy time it's been trying to get on a schedule that allows time for school, homework, housework, soccer and football, eating, and sleep. It's been a week and we are getting there. The boys wouldn't let me take good pictures on the first day. I didn't even get any last year.

Yard Sale success!
My first ever yard sale was a success. I of course didn't get rid of everything, but lots went. Unfortunately there was lots more still left. The boys were excited because they made some money as well. I've had some success at selling items on KSL as well. I even found a website that will buy books...i think it's called sellyourbooks.com or something like that. My brother gave me an idea for a lemonade stand during the sale. It was ok, but the novelty wore off after a while. They had fun. I didn't want to take pictures of the mess, too embarrassing.?!

In for a month!!
Well we have been in our new house for a month. Unpacking is still an ongoing project, but every day is a few less. I'm having a yard sale this week to help in the dejunking process. I've also sold a few items on KSL--all within a week's time. Since moving in the dogs have escaped twice, and the horse once. The cats seem just fine in the neighborhood; they haven't run off. The boys have had lots of fun riding around, playing with friends and doing everything they can to avoid helping organize the house. I don't know what I would do if I had to work right now. I'm excited to put my craft room together, but it's not a necessity right now. We have roses in many colors, but not RED-which is ok with me. In the spring, we had a rainbow of tulips including dark purple and pink. We have a fountain in the back yard, that we discovered had a rock wall surrounding it. There were weeds growing all over it and we didn't know there was so much rock. These photos are of our living room... come for a visit.

Moving in finally
The fixing up of our house, at least to a point of moving in, is at an end. Just last week, we got new carpet and linoleum, and finished painting the entire house. Move in date is Wednesday--I hope we're ready! Thanks for all the help everyone! We couldn't have done it without all of you.

Pictures of the happenings around here...
Our new house--move in date yet to be decided. In the two weeks since we signed, Chris has mowed the jungle, cut down stray shoots of trees, and built an extra bedroom in the basement. We have had extra special help from David- help with the new room, Jared and Jacqui-cleaning carpets that are just too disgusting to keep after all, Darlene and Katie- weeding the front flower beds. We need painters... any volunteers??
Derek's eagle project--completed, one more merit badge to go. Only 5 scout boys came and one of those left early- he was the only one from Scipio. The rest were 2 boys from Nephi and Levan, and Tyler. The trail looks awesome. Maybe I'll get a photo of that posted too.
Track meets for Tyler, Jeremy, and Derek. Track season is finally over. Derek didn't qualify for State and was terribly disappointed. Jeremy and Tyler participated in a Hershey track meet. Jeremy won 50m, 100m, 400m, softball throw, and took 3rd in standing long jump. He is moving on to a district meet. Tyler took 3rd in 100m, and his 4x100m relay team also took 3rd.
It's not like we need anything more to happen now, but you never know. School is out in 2 weeks and we are counting down every minute!!!
