The past two weeks have brought some pretty big changes around our
house. Namely Spencer packed up and left for school. We still feel a
bit of a hole in the "family fabric" kinda like when Brandon left. I've
included a couple of pics of Spencer and his cousin Marcus Tanner.
They're roommates at Carroll Hall on campus. Anyway, whenever we call
Spencer it sounds like BYU campus is a big party with lot's of girls
laughing in the background. Hope he remembers to study and go to work.
Jamie is working 3 days a week after school at the Secret Haven. Last
week the power went out for their cash registers so they were writing
receipts on post-it notes. On top of that they are getting ready for a
Fall Preview and some rich ladies were mad at Jamie because she couldn't
sell them an item. Allyse is playing her flute and they've asked her to
play a piccolo in the band. She is very dedicated to practicing.
Tyler, Jordan and I went to our first guitar lesson on Wednesday. The
kid was very nice but looked like a stoner---until he picked up his
guitar and did a quick jam. Oh my he can play. He was teaching us how
to play a guitar from the reference point of Wii Guitar Hero. Course,
Tyler and Jordan were nodding their heads up and down with full
comprehension. I was stupified. Shannon was in Tuscon Thurs-Sat
evening. We barely managed to get by without her. Wingers on
Wednesday, Maverick hot dogs on Thursday, and Subway on Friday.
Whewww. Good thing she wasn't gone any longer or we'd run out of fast
food joints in Kaysville. Big news. Jordan is back in action with a
thumb splint. They molded a piece of hot plastic to his thumb and when
it cooled it becomes a splint. he got in 12-15 plays Saturday and his
team is now 4-0. They won 27-0 over Farmington. Then we jumped in the
car and rushed up to Eden (Ogden Valley near Huntsville). What a
gorgeous setting to watch little squirts run up and down the field
playing football. Tyler scored the first touchdown and they won 38-0. I
felt sorry for the Eden team with only 15 players. Our team had 24
players and the coaches were cycling fresh kids in every play. After
that, we came back down to Ogden and tried out a couple of 4 stroke
scooters. I'm selling Spencer's so we can put the money in his mission
fund. Today, Peter, Frank and Dan stopped by for a some chat. Well,
hope everyone is well. This has turned into an epistle but my fingers
were on a roll.
