I wonder if anyone notices....

OK so its been almost a year and a half sinse I last wrote anything. Kayla is 13, is Beehive President, in 8th grade at Fort Herriman, and will be starting up soccer soon. Oh!! Kayla is also set to finish her first novel! She's wanting to get it published! I am so proud of her! wow Her first book!! The possiblities are endless for her talent! She at first wanted to go by the pen name of "Phoenix Lee Dawner", but has sinse decided that she'll stick with her own real name! I'm happy to hear that.

Austin is 11, is currently in 6th grade, learning about the consquences of not being responsible, and has read so many books I'm struggling with titles to come up with to keep him going! He is loving boy scouts and finds that even though it is challenging, he's up to the task, like cooking the perfect pancake outdoors! :D hehe He's still involved with basketball and doing super at it. Austin hasn't lost his dream to go on a basketball scholarship to BYU then on to the Jazz!!! Keep your fingers crossed!

Sean is now 9 and is in a race to be taller than Austin, much to Austin's dismay! Sean is doing awesome in 3rd grade, reading like crazy, and making his teacher work harder to keep him busy and not bored! He should almost be in 4th grade, but we haven't moved him up. Better to be at the top of the class than the middle, I say! Sean is now in "Bears" with the cub scouts and loving that! He's not too much into the thought of camping though.. I have no idea were he gets that! Also this year Sean has started his first season of Basketball! He's loving it, although I'm still watching him dribble the ball with his feet forward while he is looking behind him. Someday that boy will learn to watch where he goes! I hope its soon! :D I love him for it though. Its a part of Sean.

Dillon is 6 and is in 1st grade! His teacher, Mrs. Miller is always commenting on how polite Dillon is, opening doors, saying excuse me, helping when needed without being asked! He's always getting called to the office so that the principle can personally award him with "Patriot of the week". The school's mascot is a "Patriot". He is adored by all the kids in his class, especially among the girls. I come in to help every Thursday and on one occasion I witnessed four girls around Dillon arguing about who was his best friend. Then they turned to Dillon and asked him who his best friend was. (I'm listening in the background, while helping other students) and he raises his fingers to start a count, sighs, and says "I have a lot of best friends"! AHAHA I wanted to go and hug him infront of them all!! TOTO CUTE!! and so diplomatic! I put on the mommy breaks and chose not to emberess him and kept the mental picture! I already know he's a heartbreaker! :D

Aaron is now 2! Oh boy how time flies! He's articulate even tempered, and loves loves to play games!! Video games. He's a Cummins kid. And we have always started them early! Against my wishes, but I've given in with some limitations. His favorite game is Mario! Loves Mario! Whether it is on the PSP, the PS2, the WII, or the gameboy ( Yes, we have them all :(. I know very bad) But the kids love it. And they work for the time to play either by chores or keeping the grade! We make them work for it! Which they gladly do! haha most of the time. Aaron is so special. His favoirte movies are Toy Story (Buzz Lightyear) and Peter Pan!! He loves to watch for his shadow! And at bedtime, he'll say "mom quiet, what's that. Peter Pan" or Tinkerbell "Shh" Its so cute to watch him do that. It has suddenly hit me that Aaron has a fasination with flying! :D AHH I love this age!! Everything is magic!

Don is still traveling with his job! Although it has slowed exceptionally this past year, having him stay home more and working remotely with the customer. Which has been a very good thing! We are reconnecting and making things better, together. Still hard to have him go for five days at a time, but at least its not as frequent and the kids see that! Very important for sure!

So this is where my expirement comes in.. I wonder who will read this and notice that Don and I have offically begun the process to move! We've been pre approved and have been told to house hunt! To where.. we're not completely 100% sure yet, but we have our ideas :D! More info will come in a few days, I'm sure. Don's asked me to try to keep this blog going. I need to put our precious memories somewhere, right?? Encouragement to keep going would be good!

Love to all.. :D
