Almost done updating!

Between yesterday and today I have made 20 posts on this blog! I am almost done, only 2 months of updates left! YEAH!!!

Another Letter C

Alyssa came up with the idea that she should be on the Cactus High School Girls Golf Team, and that is what she did! She did pretty well for her first time EVER to play golf! She even golfed a par on 1 hole! She also earned a varsity letter. Way to go Alyssa, it makes me so happy that she decided she wanted to learn something new and went after it!

Marshall Ranch Cross Country

Addy and Tanner were both on the Cross Country team again this year. They both did a great job and gave it their all. We are very proud of both of them!

The Letter C

Amanda joined the Cactus High School Cross Country Team this year. I was so proud of her for sticking with it. They endured practices of 115 degrees or hotter week after week. Because we had so many "Heat Advisories" this year they would sometimes run through the hall ways of the school. Other days they would stop to cool off inside after every mile they ran. I think that running is a great sport to get into, you can do the rest of your life! Because 99% of the Cross Country team this year were sophomore's they were in the news paper for being such a young team. And, she also earned a letter for being on a varsity team! Way to go Amanda! We are so proud of you!

And We Have Another Driver!

FINALLY on September 6th Alyssa got her Drivers License! Now days you have to have a drivers permit for at least 6 months before you can get your drivers license. I told Alyssa that I wouldn't go wait in the giant long line at the DMV for her to get her drivers permit until she had read "the book". So finally after she had been 15 1/2 for 4 months she came home from school and said "I read the book today!" I said "get in the car we are going to get your permit right now!" She said, "really, it's that easy" I said "yes,  I can't wait for you to drive!" So she got her permit on March 6th, and then her license on September 6th. I LOVE having another driver, it makes things so much easier! 

**First Date**

Grandpa Reed set Alyssa up on her "First Date" with a really nice guy from his ward. His name is Trever and they had a great time! They went to Desert Ridge and ate at the California Pizza Kitchen, and then to a movie. She would have loved to go on another date with him but he left a few days later to go to school at BYU. Maybe he will ask her out again when he comes home for Christmas break!

First Day of School - Again!

Another year older and getting wiser too! School started on August 19th, and we were not ready for summer vacation to be over! It goes by WAY to fast! Addy is now in the 7th grade, Amanda is a sophomore, Alyssa is a junior, and Tanner is in 5th grade. It seems that once 1 of your children enters high school time speeds up. Each year is gone before I know it! I loved it when they were all little, but I love it even more now that they are all older. They are so much fun!
