Long overdue update


Scott - Pioneer Trek with our Stake August 2010 (he is on the left with the sky blue shirt)


It has been awhile since I last posted on my blog, so I guess this is a catchup edition. Summer went by way to quickly for me, I wasn't anywhere ready for Scott to return to school. The cool month of June made it seem like we got jipped on the summer. Sadly we only went to Cherry Hill water park a few times this summer. Scott didn't really get into much this year, he's getting to old for it I guess. He went to a week of Scout Camp at an organized camp, he was busy from sun up to sun down. He ended the summer by going on a 3 day Pioneer Trek with our Stake, an experience he won't soon forget. He gained a greater appreciation for the pioneers. Scott started 8th grade this year, so far so good. He is officially taller than his mother, which he really thinks is SWEET. His feet are growing at a rate to expensive to keep up with.He took a break from playing Soccer this year.

Starting at the beginning of August we had a house guest of the 4 -legged kind. My sister and her husband relocated from back east to Utah. They needed a place for the dog to hang until they found a home. I love their dog Bella, a 5 year old Australian Shepherd, a well behaved dog, she became my walking partner. She and our dog Buddy had a love hate relationship. She went back to my sister's this week, they finally closed and moved into their home. They only live 15 minutes away so we can see my sister, her family and Bella often.

Whitney and Jesse bought their 1st townhouse and moved in the end of August. It was in the still being built stage when they found it, so they go to pick the color of carpet. It is a beautiful home with plenty of space for their family of 4. They live about 10 minutes away, can still see the Grandchildren often

I am continually busy between PTA, babysitting the Grandchildren and running the house. It seems there is never a dull moment around the Stockdale house. Just this morning I took Robert to the E.R. for kidney stones. Life just continues on each day. Not a fun thing for anyone to go through. 2010 has not been Robert's year for good health. Hoping next year will be better.
