Well, After sucessfully playing around, I have managed to post some family pictures as well. The BIG one at the top was take a year ago at Halloween time. I was in the Clue the Musical and we had just finished a performance (hence ALL the makeup I have on) I was noticing how much nick (orange sweatshirt) has grown. He almost as tall at Nate (5'8- 5'9) and weighs about 20lbs more than nate! Gosh, when they decide to grow, the really take off!
I encourage everyone who visits to post comments and let us know how you are!!
I will add a bit more about what we are all doing.
Kris- busily working/training at Taxworks. He is the corporate trainer and is busy busy busy. They are located in Kaysville, Utah and they company just moved to their new building just west of the freeway by the big new sportsplex! He is also still building recumbant trikes with his dad, you can check them out at www.what-a-rush.com
He is 2nd couns in the Elders Quarem presidency and is busy with that as well. Sometimes we see him. I enjoy his schedule this year as last year he was traveling and gone most of the autumn, clear up until christmas!
Cheryl- Still teaching music. I switched to Layton Elementary this year, and after a bit of a rough start, I am enjoying it. I love being on a traditional schedule and being home when my kids are. I am looking at going back to school someday, sometime with an emphasis in communications and graphic design! I am out of Young Women's for the first time in a LONG time (now that Caitlyn is in) I am now secretary in the Primary. It is a busy busy calling!
Kris and I are co-directing the Clearfield Community Choir and that is providing us with some time to share our talents and yet, with ONE more thing to accomplish in the week!
Nate- Nate is a sophomore this year and is loving life. He recently acquired a free car that he is working on and fixing up with the hopes that someday he will get his liscence and will be able to drive!! ( we are not in any rush) He is still playing the cello and I think he is going to persue a degree in engineering. He is growing up way to fast for me, but it is fun at the same time!!
Nick- is in 8th grade. He is doing so well in school. He loves art and nature. He has thought about being a landscape architect or an architect when he grows up..who knows. He is very creative and has a huge heart. He is definately the peacemaker in our home. He is loving scouts and is working towards his eagle as is Nate
Caitlyn- 7th grade and quite the drama queen. and I mean that in the nicest way. She is doing lots of theater and singing when ever she can. She sang the National Anthem last year for the ribbon cutting ceremony at her school. That was quite and honor. She is doing dinner theater at school and gets to sing "I can hear the bells" from Hairspray for one of the numbers. Her goal is to either be on broadway or to own her own pet spa! She loves all animals (and I mean all) She is the only person I know of that can peacefully get a wasp out of our home!!
Zoe and Zeus-- The two black terrors! We have to lab mixes at our home.(like one wasnt enough) They are very funny together and they love to spend time outside running the backyard) They love treats and sleeping up on the bed until dad kicks them off!
Well, that is it for now!
Please leave comments and such and let us know how you are doing!
Much love
The Polson Clan

getting started

I am so grateful to the Szymanski's for showing us their blog spot so we could create one as well. I have been wanting to create some type of family web site for a while now and this will get us started. I encourage you to check back often and leave us lots of comments.
