We had a great time as a family last week at the UofU gymnastics meet. Kaylee and J even got to meet Swoop, the Utes mascot. Sarah would have nothing to do with Swoop. She prefered to stay as far away as she could get.

As you all can see life is fun with Sarah. She can light up the room and cheer up the most blue person out there. We love to watch for what zaney thing she is going to do next.

“J” is in the middle of a nice long break from school. He is off track and loving all his free time. now that Christmas and New Years are over he is loving the pool again. He started his swimming lesson agai and is in level 3. He love to play in the water as do the rest of his brothers and sisters. He has enjoyed playing with his cousins who are visitng from North Carolina. He is really enjoying the snow on the hill across the street.

He has become a little daredevil, trying to jump on or off anything he can. He likes to scare his Mom and Dad with his stunts.

Eventhough he is enjoying his vacation he still love school. He practices his reading daily and love to learn new things.

For the first time in a long time if ever, Spencer has made the Honor Role at School.  To top that he has done it in his most challenging courses that he has ever taken (and we thought that he might have a stuggle getting use to middle school).  We are so proud of him and hopes that he keeps it going.  I think he has finally proven to himself that he can do it.

Saturday we were looking through the latest edition of the West Jordan Journal (the local city newspaper put out monthly) and we were suprised to find Michael’sname in another article.  This time it was about the Copper Hills High School swim team and not his Eagle project.  We are so proud of him.  Swimming Vasity for the high school while still in Middle School (middle school is 7th – 9th grade). http://www.valleyjournals.com/onlineed/WJJ.pdf   Then go to page 12.  It is the right side top article.
