Subject: Hi
I'm sitting here @ the Winder pool looking @ your blog & feeling so happy that you post so much! I miss so much about you sis but it's so fun & so inspiring to see you & your family not just surviving but thriving & excelling. What I would give for a Samuel hug right now or a Bethelle smile!
Justus & Steven are adorable & at such a fun age. I'm loving this baby Aiden what a sweetie. It's amazing how calming he is to everyone in the family. I just wish I wasn't so tired all the time still. I try to workout regularly & then after 3 weeks of getting up & out the door I just crash & have no desire for 2 weeks & it's so hard to pick it up again! I have to have a motivator in the near future to keep me going.
Anyway 5 kids has been hard @ times for sure but I have so much help & tons of loving moments. I know that God will sustain me at the perfect moments & he sure does!
Leah is starting a music class in a couple weeks from a lady that is a patient of Jed. I went to a sample class & was so impressed! Leah is my learn by ear girl & can sing any song she only hears a couple times so I'm thrilled to have her learn technical things so early. She will also do preschool since her birthday is later. She is such a character & keeps me laughing & she gives love & happiness so freely to everyone. I just love this age. Which is good since I was just called to teach her age group in Primary & it is a circus but they are adorable!
Devon is still Devon! He fills me with such frustration & I'm constantly criticizing him which drives us all nuts & I pray all the time to gain more understanding of his strengths but he does live in a beautiful world that I wish I could see more often! One that is clean & timeless & all things are taken care of.
Rachel is gaining momentum to becoming a teenager. She is beautiful artistic & smart. Everyone loves to be around her especially the younger ones & it is so fun this summer to see her taking charge & share her creativity. She is amazing when she swims I can't believe how fast she is!
Cannon is changing everyday. Where he has been quite moody at times, he has come out of that a little at a time & show his sensitivity towards the gospel, his great desire to make a place for himself, his concerns for school & friends, girls & what annoys him & yes even his love for his mom shows briefly now. It is awesome having a teenager & I love learning & being inspired to talk to him about life. I am so grateful he's my first!
Jed is going with Youth to Youth Conference this week & is really busy @ work since school starts soon. We are going to Rexburg next week to do a team relay (running) with some neighbors all around Island Park, Driggs & Jackson Hole. My legs are 5.7, 5.4, & 4.7 miles. We're taking Aiden & Grandma Jean is taking care of the other kids. I'm excited but scared! Then the kids start school the following week. Ok the kids are done swimming guess its time to say goodbye for now!
