Minnesota State University

On Monday Kenzie received an email with a National Letter of Intent to Minnesota State University, in the letter they offered her a full scholarship to attend their school and swim for the swim team. She has been working so hard the last few year to reach this goal! It is hard to get school paid for in swim as it is not a big income generating sport let alone to get an offer to pay for all of your school! We are very proud of her for accomplishing her dream and working so hard! The school is a bit far away from mom, but I will adjust.

I can not tell her congratulations enough or express the excitement I have for her! We have been told she is one of only 3 swimmers in the senior class of 2013 in Utah to sign an early Letter of Intent, not sure if that is accurate, but we are proud of her!

Fall Fun 2012

Now that the kids have finished the first quarter of school we are finally getting in to a routine! The 2 oldest are now full swing into the high school swim season, hard to believe it is Kenzie's senior year and her last high school season of swim.

Her and I drove to Minnesota in October for her first swim recruiting trip for college, we tried to break up the drive and made a few stops along the way. Finally saw Mt Rushmore, it was a bit cold but hey we can say we went there! It was fun to check out Minnesota State and will be interesting to see what school she chooses over the next few months.

Megan just finished softball for the fall by going on a trip with her team to Mesquite, they did great and placed 4th in 16 under she has loved this new team and the coaching and has learned a lot. She is ready to play high school softball in the spring and is starting high school basketball try outs today! I can not believe she is trying out for the high school!

Keaton is about my only one that dresses up for Halloween and her and her friend dressed up as zombies... no more cute Halloween costumes... Keats did both of their makeup and made their outfits I think she did a pretty great job! 


Ethan got to go to his first high school dance this fall and has actually been to 2 now! He is looking pretty good in a tux and his scars from the car accident are healing pretty well it has been a tough 1st quarter for him but he is getting through this and really making the best of all he has been through with the accident!


I just had to put this one up it makes me laugh they went is a big group together with a bunch of friends from the swim team but didn't want to stand by each other so no one would think they went together to the dance. I love that they have gotten so close and do get to be in groups with each other when they do go to dances.
