Hi! It's Amanda. Well, it's been a while and a lot has happened since we didn't post in December. Dad has been as busy as usually, but always finds time to spend with us. Mom is still keeping our lives in order and we're still doing a good job of messing up that order. Kensey's been volunteering at the Museum of Natural History downtown. Between playing with bugs and learning a lot about archeology she really enjoys it. Jacob's been having fun at wrestling camp and efy, when he's not hanging out with his friends. I've enjoyed my new colt, which came as a surprise with the horse that we bought last October. He's a handful but a sweetheart. Max is taking piano lessons and is currently increasing his lego collection.
Here's a few other things that have been going on with our family.
  • Kensey and Dad went to Swaziland for a humanitarian trip with the church. Kensey learned a lot of new african names as she entered them into the computer. Dad taught neonatal resuscitation to people there. As for what that even is, I think it has something to do with helping a baby breath after it's born. I think.
  • We finally finished our basement! Well, sorta. The theater room still doesn't have a sound system or a good projector in yet and we don't have stools for our bar, but it's still a way fun place to hang out as a family or with friends.
  • We got a place up in Laketown, a small town up in Bear Lake near Garden City and Ideal Beach. It's a really small house but it's plenty big for our family. We've got three acres of land that I hope I'll take both my horses up to this weekend.

I guess that's it for now. We'll be posting some pictures later, once Kensey is around to help get them off of the camera. It's kinda sad, but she's the only one who really knows how to work the thing....
