Moving

For those of you who didn't know, we have relocated to Rexburg, ID. We are back in Brian's old stomping grounds and loving life. It's definately a faster paced life than Big Piney ever could be. My older boys are really enjoying school because they each only have 5 classes instead of 7. Brody likes it because he goes to the same classes everyday and doesn't have to remember which schedule they are on! He mostly enjoys being able to sleep in that extra 45 minutes and not have to get up for early morning seminary. He said all schools should be required to do release time instead of early morning! Braydn is loving all the attention from the girls. Brian and I have been told that girls are actually fighting over him. Hopefully it won't go to his head! Carson is loving the girl scene also and is actually enjoying his classes! Kelton, Ashlee & Kadin are loving the fact that they don't have to ride the bus anymore! I have to help them cross the street every morning and afternoon because the school doesn't provide a crossing guard yet, and they actually bus the kids the 1/2 block to school. Hopefully this fall it will be different once they widen the road and open the new high school. We moved into a great area. The elementary and high school are right across the street. The high school is still being finished so Brody won't attend there until this fall. Braydn & Carson at the Jr. High and won't see the old high school once it's converted to the Jr. high because they will be in 10th grade by then.

The school system is a little different here. The elementary goes preschool through 4, so this is Kelton's last year at this school. The Middle school is 5 - 7, the Jr. High is 8&9 and the High school is 10 - 12. Next year I will acturally have a child at every school! I don't think I was prepared for Kelton to be done with elementary school. It means he's that much bigger!

Brian is waiting for the construction season to start and we are told it is looking like the end of April, which is good news for our pocket book!

I am going to be starting beauty school in June and will be finished next June. I am way excited, but worried about how my kids will handle life. Guess we will be going through a lot of cereal!

All of the kids will be participating in baseball this season. Brody will be umpiring for the first few months until the older league starts in June or July. Braydn & Carson are both playing and helping umpire the younger kids' games. Kelton, Ashlee & Kadin are all playing and their games start on Tuesday(4/20). They are all excited and can't wait to start playing "for real". I will try and keep you all posted!

Wrestling

Brody did well at State Wrestling considering he didn't wrestle most of the season. He lost his first match, pinned his second and lost his third. He was excited to think he had made it to the second day and had 3 matches. He said he was going to state mainly to have fun and to support the team. He didn't really expect to place this year given the fact that he probably wasn't really well enough to even be wrestling. He is trying to do some strength training on his shoulder and back to get ready for football season this fall. He said he is definately going to wrestle again next year and hopes he will have better luck. (I hope so too!)
