I have a lot to catch up on. A couple weeks ago Jon ran in the St. George marathon and did great. He ran it in 3:42 and we went up to Utah for the weekend. The kids had a blast and we got to spend some time with our friends the Monsons. They are always so nice to take us in. The next week we went on a Mexican cruise with Jon's high school friends and their wives. We were gone without the kids for six days. It was so much fun, I almost felt like I was in high school again. We are grateful that we knew the kids were in good hands with their aunt Jillian and Carley with aunt Heather. We are finally at the tail end of putting our house back together but things go pretty slow when the rest of life doesn't stop. The kids are doing great. They are having fun playing soccer. Tanner is in tae kwon doe and loves it. We were hoping it would help control his energy, but it has seemed to have taken the opposite effect. Oh well, he likes it. Jensen woke up last week and decided to start talking in sentences. We love listening to him repeat everything we say, and Carley just woke up and decided to start crawling. She gets around pretty well now. Time to get the gate out. Hope everyone is looking forward to a fun and exciting Halloween.
