Summertime

Okay summer is here and I'm having a hard time posting on my blog. We have had a very fun packed summer so far. Well okay most of it has been fun.

We started our summer by moving houses, I found myself packing way to many boxes and unpacking all those boxes asking myself why I didn't get rid of the stuff before I packed it. Yesterday my nephew Travis came and helped me organize the storage stuff in the basement and I did throw some of the stuff out. Thank you so much Travis for your help. The best part of organizing all the stuff was..... I found my cricket machine the sole purpose of organizing all the boxes. It was the one thing I had not been able to find from the move and I was getting just a little bit worried, but I found it yesterday Hooray!

Karla and Amandee have been having a fun packed summer. They started it off with Basketball camp, and also playing in a couple of basketball tournaments. They both went to Youth Conference at the U and loved it. Girls camp with the new ward and decided it was the best girls camp they had been to, (that was such a relief I was just a little worried about Amandee.)
Karla and Kory went on a river rafting trip on the Colorado River down by Moab, had a great time. Amandee is now at E.F.Y.

Nathan has been having fun meeting new friends in the neighborhood. This is the first time my boys have friends in the neighborhood, and I don't have to drive them to their friends house. Nathan gets to go to camp within the week.

Jaron has been keeping us way to busy! (Don't get me wrong, I have loved it!) Jaron was picked for the All-Star team this year in Baseball. He played in three different tournaments in 3 weeks, I think he played something like 15 games. They took 2nd in District, but unfortunately they lost their first 2 games in State.

When Kory and I were at one of Jaron's games we decided that we had been to about 125 different games this year for all the kids...... So our blog name Benchwarming Browns fits us to a tee.

Hopefully I can find some time, and also get the computer to work so I can down load some pictures, of all the fun activities

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Whats going on......

Kory: .Has finished up this schooling at the UofU and accept a job to teach at PLU (Pacific Lutheran University. He is loving every minute of it. Shortly after we got here he was called as a seminary teacher. (Just happened to be assigned Amandee's seminary teacher) So not only does he get up early to teach he is also teaching 2 night classes, so I don't think he is getting as much sleep as he would like.

Pam:Since I started this blog I can't believe how much our lives have changed.

1. We moved to Utah so Kory could get his PhD

2. I decide that I don't want to be the only family member not in school, so I enroll in classes at Salt Lake Community College.

3. We move to our 2nd house in Utah (moving is never fun)

4. We both graduate from college: Yeah! I did it

5. We move again this time Washington

6. I open Dyed 'N Gone to Heaven hair salon.

7. With this recent move I'm still trying to get used to the......RAIN.

things that have not changed.....

1. I still love to make cards, and read

2. Love watching my kids, in whatever they do...sports, choir concerts.

3. Hanging out my family

Life couldn't get much better... I have a great husband and great kids.

Karla: is a freshman in College, when she left for school, I had a really hard time, and now that is almost time to go and get her for the summer I am so very very excited. I have missed her this past school year. But we are very proud of her. She is having a great time at school, and spending time with her cousin Katie

Amandee:Is a Junior in HS this year with the move she decided that she did not want to try out for the school basketball, so instead she is finding herself very busy with all the different clubs that she joined. Her favorite class this year would be a tie between ASL (American Sign Language) and her drafting class. She still loves her music I find myself having to go into her room after she leaves for school to turn it off. She has not complained to much that now she has early morning seminary.

Nathan: is now in Junior High school UGH do I need to say more. He still knows more sports facts than anyone. He still likes school, and is getting straight A's way to go!! He played flag football for his Jr High team, got to play church basketball this past fall. It was fun watching him play. During one of his basketball games he scored 15 pts.

Jaron: is still the happy go lucky kid!! He has not changed much, his favorite subjects at school are: recess and P.E. and this year he has added Math to that list. He played flag football again this year, and was the star of his team. It was fun watching him! He is in the middle of the baseball season, and loving it (when he gets to play) We have had so many rain outs. We have had more games canceled due to the rain, than we have gotten to play.
