Catching up

I guess now that summer is over and the kids are back in school I should have more time to update our blog but life seems to be busier than ever. We had a pretty low key summer this year since we took our big vacation over spring break to Disneyland. We mostly hung out and the kids went to a summer program in the afternoons that kept them busy. Kyle also volunteered all summer at the same program. We made it up to Show Low for the 4th of July, celebrated Logan's 7th birthday and Ryan's 11th birthday. (no more cub scouts for 1 whole year!) Randy and I took Lyndi to CA and were able to see my mom and brothers. It was the first time we had flown together since our honeymoon, so sad! Now we are back into the school routine and our life is consumed with football. Ryan is playing football and Kaela is cheering this year. We had practice every night M-F, for the month of August and now thank goodness, we practice just 2 nights a week. They are both having alot of fun and we love watching their games, GO SOLDIERS! Darrin is on the Skyline Varsity team this year, it is so weird. Ever since he was a little kid we thought how cool it would be to go to his high school games and now that it's happening I wonder where the time went. He is not playing much right now, still recovering from a mild concussion but we hope to see him play some this year. GO COYOTES! It seems like all we do right now is go to football practices or games, that's usually how it is for us from August to December. It is a busy time of year, by the time it slows down the holidays will be here. I think we must be a little crazy to do it all but that's the way life is when you're trying to raise 7 kids!
