Another Milestone...Preston is in 1st grade AND he lost his first tooth. All he can say about school is that it is LOOONNGG. (And he is wearing Christian's old soccer shirt that we bought in Denmark 12 years ago...it's still in great shape!)

Go BYU!
We had a fun quick trip to Utah for Labor Day weekend. We cheered on the cougars to defeat the U of W Huskies (well, we lost our tickets so had to cheer them on from outside the stadium, but that is a whole other story!) We spent time with Christian, Bethany and Sean and waved to Emily in the MTC.
Bowling at the Wilkinson Center and hair cut at BYU barber shop.
GO COUGARS! BYU beat U of W in the season opener 23-17.
Fun at our hotel with Ben and Rachel...
Katie's dream come true....The John Schmidt concert at Thanksgiving Point.
On our drive home...Promontory point Historical Site where the east and west railroads met in 1869...the country had rail service from Atlantic to Pacific.
Out on the Utah desolate land where ATK makes and tests rocket boosters--so cool!

Milestones
CHRISTIAN
In August Christian was ordained an Elder along with 4 others in his priests quorum. All these boys are moving on to bigger and better challenges. Brady, Ben, Loren, Kyle and Christian.
Christian has moved into the Helaman dorms and is in BYU heaven. Seriously, I have never seen him so happy and excited about life. He loves the guys in his dorm, the sporting events, the cute girls, the happy atmosphere and hopefully his classes. We visited him for Labor day weekend and asked him if he needed anything from home that he had forgotten...he said, "Yes! I would love my tennis racquet, a volleyball and a football." We hope he remembers to study.
EMILY
In August Emily performed in "Broadway Revue". She sang "Vanilla Ice Cream" and in the finale she played Mary Poppins and sang "Supercalifragilistic" She was adorable.
On August 18th Emily entered the Missionary Training Center where she is preparing to serve an 18 month mission on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Her best buddy from childhood, Morgan, will also be going on a mission: leaving in October for Ecuador. We love these girls and will miss them! Can't wait to hear all about their uplifting adventures. If you want to follow Emily's mission letters, just click on her picture to the right and it will go to her mission blog.
50
In July, we celebrated Mike's 50th Birthday! Wow, what a wonderful milestone. Mike is such a wonderful husband and father and we love him so much! Looking forward to 50 more wonderful years.
BETHANY and SEAN
After a wonderful whirlwind wedding, our newlyweds are getting settled into their first apartment. They had an amazing honeymoon in Costa Rica and then went to Texas to pick up beautiful furniture provided by Sean's mom. We are excited to see what the future holds for this new family.
