One week to go.... Heather is getting married on October 17! I can't believe it's possible! Seems like only yesterday that she was going to preschool, learning to ride a bike, and read and all that good stuff. If you still have little ones, savor the moments... life goes by so fast, and the older they get the faster it goes. I am so proud of Heather for the way she has handled the challenges in her life and for choices she has made to get to this point in her life!I love her so much!

Marchele is such a trooper! She had gallbladder surgery on Friday, but refused to miss Heathers bridal shower on Saturday, so she went... pain meds, ice packs and all! (What a great little sister!) We talked her into missing her Monday classes and then Heather and Tim took her back up to Logan Monday night. Monday she will get her staples out and hopefully she will be feeling pretty good after that!

Jason, or Clyde as he likes to be called is a little banged up too... he has been playing football with a broken hand and a pulled quad, but neither is slowing him down much. He is currently wearing his 3rd cast in a span of two and a half weeks---first own wasn't waterproof(a bad combination with football), second one was waterproof, but apparently not sturdy enough for football, because he broke the cast during his JV game last Thursday. Not to be sidelined, he taped it up and played the Varsity game Friday, then on Monday morning he got his third and hopefully final cast--- it will come of Friday for the wedding! Hopefully it's healed by then, if not then we will go for one more! He's been going to PT for his quad and we thought it was about better, but he re injured it yesterday in the JV game, and though he will be dressing for the game tonight, it's doubtful he will play... we will see.

OLD???

So, we have a theme going on here... I am feeling OLD, OLD, OLD... a kid getting married, a kid in college, grandbabies... I really don't think all of this is possible, I mean I am really not THAT OLD!
Am I?
To combat this feeling OLD thing that I have going on, I have taken up tennis again, and I have started working out at a gym called Boot Camp! My best 20 year old girlfriend, Marissa, talked me into trying it out with her! We have been going for about 6 weeks now, and it's beginning to be bearable! However, going with the 20 something girls is not helping me to feel any younger... I get a daily dose of rude reminders that a 20 year old body moves a little better than a 40 something body does... Oh well, I guess it happens to everyone sooner or later, but it just doesn't seem that long ago that I was on the dance team and running around in college!
On the college note, Marchele moved up to Logan on Saturday to get settled in for college life at Utah State! She is already making a ton of new friends and having a blast... Check out her blog! Jason, or Clyde as he prefers to be called starts school on Monday.. a big Junior this year, and he is feeling pretty cool about it. Football season is already in full swing, you can tell by the stinky shoulder pads he insits on keeping by his bedside... first game is this weekend! Heather and I have been spending all of our spare minutes ( which are few and far between) planning the wedding!

We had a blast on our vacation! They have a thing for totem poles in Canada... and so, we wanted to be part of one!

We have a new grandbaby!

Monica had a baby boy on Wednesday July 30th! He is so sweet, and cute and little! We are so happy to have this little guy in our lives! His name is Joshua Carter Jones! They will call him Carter!
