September update

JASON PASSED HIS MATH CLASS!! He is taking classes at University of Phoenix for his Bachelor's Degree in Human Resource. Math is definitely NOT one of our family strong points. Matt is pretty good at it, but college algebra is VERY difficult for us. So, it was a 14 week class compacted into 5 weeks and it was tough. But, after LOTS of study time, tutor time and stress, Jason was able to pull through and now he is DONE with math classes. Yippee!! He has 2 classes left and should be graduating about Thanksgiving. I'm so proud of him.

Matt did not get the Student Government position, and he was pretty upset, but I think he is okay now. He still likes school and is enjoying meeting new people and getting new friends. He is such a good kid! He has some pretty tough classes (Chinese, Theater, advanced math, etc.) and he is still getting almost straight A's. He is also very conscientious of others feelings.

Lily is doing well and still loves her daycare situation. She is so cute and so much fun. There are a few pre-2 year old fits. She is just learning how and warming up, I guess. Yesterday, after church, she was up in her crib taking her nap and when she was done sleeping, I guess she got bored before she let us know she was awake. She took off her diaper, threw it on the floor and proceeded to make her crib into a water bed. Thankfully, that was all she did! She LOVES the bath and will do anything to be able to get one. If someone says bath or shower, she runs to the bathroom while trying to take off her clothes. Her other loves, right now are Melmo (Elmo) and Bob (Sponge Bob). She really doesn't like tv all that much, but she loves her books with Elmo and she does watch some Sponge Bob after we get home from running around for her down time.

I am doing well also. I chopped all of my hair off this last week. It was all one length to about mid back, and I had it in a bun or pony tail ALL of the time, so I figured it was time. I cut it off so I just have to run my fingers up the back and it curls up a little. I'd say the back is about 1 inch long. The front is a little longer and I tuck it behind my ears (I can't stand hair around my face) and it's really cute. I'm very happy with this cut. I can wear it curly (which takes me about 5 minutes to do) or I can straighten it. Fun. I'm just trying to keep up with the family, working my job at Midvale Middle School, getting back into Mary Kay (I took a short break for some family summer fun), and just doing mom stuff (groceries, errands, taxi service, bill paying...all the good stuff). If I could sleep for about 3 days, that would be great.

Well, that's about it for our family update. Thanks for reading and keeping in touch! Kirsten
