Re-post I'm back!

I have been insanely busy the last several weeks. It seems that every time I sit down at the computer to update the blog someone or something needs my immediate attention. I guess that's how it goes for us moms! Quick update on everyone: Justin- Started flag football in March. He loved it. It was so much fun for him. Unfortunately his feet started causing problems again. He has plantar fasciitis ( see this website for a description- http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/plantar-fasciitis-treatment-overview) in both feet, and it's becoming much worse. It started last August when he was in tackle football 5 nights a week, plus games on Saturdays. He thought he was better, but he's not. In order to prevent permanent damage he had to drop out of football and other activities for 6-8 weeks in order to heal. He's totally bummed about it, but he's doing his best to follow doctor's orders. Trevor- Turned 9 last month. (Holy cow!) He also started flag football in March, and he is actually really enjoying it. This is our child who loves to stay inside and either be on the computer, play video games, watch TV and read non-fiction historical or scientific books. So we are very encouraged that he gets social interaction with kids his age, and he gets physical exercise outside. He also earned his Bear, but because he was sick tonight he won't actually receive the award until next month. Natalie- She and Maryann just got to go on a girls' night out with while the boys were at the Father's and Son's camp out over the weekend. She had a BLAST, and can hardly wait to go again. She is just about done with preschool, and we just went to the kindergarten round-up at school last week. She really is excited to go to the boys' school. She has also been singing. She loves to sing, and she has a really good voice. I think that with some training she could be excellent. Drew-Dog is getting bigger and bigger every day. He cracks us up. We can almost always count on him to do or say something funny several times a day. Some of his favorite lines lately are: "Mom, you my best friend." "Mom, I wub (love) you." "Guys, I gonna beat you up." (Can you tell he has older brothers?!) And he has become quite the ladies' man wherever we go. He flirts ALL THE TIME! It's hilarious. He always says "Mom, I gonna talk to (fill in the blank) at the gym/church/etc." "Dad, I gonna crush you like a grape." Kent is still busy working. He has been traveling a lot more lately... just day trips to Flagstaff and Tucson, but he's not gone overnight for those. He has spent a lot of time with the boys getting them ready to go on their various activities, and not to be outdone, Natalie has managed to wrap him around her little finger. Now he says (in jest, but she thinks he's serious), "Natalie, anything for you." Now whenever I tell her she can't have something she says, "But, Mom, Dad says 'Anything for you, Natalie.' So you have to do it." Ha! Kent has created his own little monster, and he gets to deal with that! Maryann just got released from the primary presidency, and she doesn't have a new calling yet. Until some of the positions that were just freed up for the new presidencies are filled she will be nervous about where they will put her! On Sunday she subbed in primary on the piano, and will play for sacrament meeting on Sunday. Maybe she'll get to attend Relief Society before she gets put somewhere else! Anyway, those are the highlights of what's been going on with us. Maybe I'll even upload the pictures from my camera to the computer so I can post some of them here. Will wonders never cease?! Ciao!
