Furniture of our own

Finally we welcomed four new things into our home. Two couches, a dresser for Kenzie, and a new bed for Troy and I. These were much needed. Our old ones were so worn out. I am so excited to start new. It feels like Troy and I are finally starting to acquire our own furniture. Not just hand me downs. Speaking of hand me downs, mom what should we do with the water bed frame that was in Ryker's room? Store it till we can move it to Washington or donate it to DI?

Kenzie Track Camp

We just found these pictures of Kenzie's track camp this past summer. They had so much fun. It looks like more playing than running but it was hot and they needed to cool down. Simplot Track Camp.

Jordan leaves for Moscow

Well Jordan leaves for Moscow tomorrow. We went out earlier this week and went to dinner and a movie but I did not feel like that was enough time with him. So we went out again. We went to the Outer Limits in Pocatello. We played laser tag, games, and then went to dinner. It is hard to have him leave again. I know this time it will be for a longer period of time. He is doing very well at the University of Idaho. We received a letter from U of I this week. He made the Dean's List and now he is getting flyer's in the mail daily wanting him to join some kind of club. He is really excited about his medical career and said, "mom you know if I keep my grades up like this I can go to any medical school I want." I know his dad is blown away. Mark thought he would fail horribly. He told me there is no way Jordan can do this. If he is lucky he will pull a "C" average his first year. I told Mark he had better never tell Jordan that. I am so proud of him. Jordan is taking Math 140, biology, biology lab, chemistry, and chemistry lab. He loves working in the lab. He was in English, Biology, Math, and of course his Ultimate Frisbee class. Oh, I forgot to mention that he has been running with the track club up there. He is so impressed with how fast everyone is. He is not on the team. Just a walk on. But, at least he is trying. Like I said, I am so proud of him.

Just to warn everyone.....Kenzie passed her drivers test today. She officially has a license. So be prepared, you never know just whose door step she will show up on. HA HA HA. :)

We had so much fun in Washington. Grandpa and Grandma made sure we were never just sitting. The bouncy houses were the best. Ryker never wanted to leave the shop. I know both of my kids, Ryker and Kenzie, would live there if they had the chance.
