Pat, Sorry you're sick. Give those germs back to those munchkins! And thanks for the reminder that I need to update this blog, and since you are the only one who reads it, I guess this is for you! I've been teaching my students how to play the ukulele and they're naturals! We have a Christmas program to do, so we'll be playing Jingle Bells for the parents. I've thought about Mele Kelekemaka, but I don't think they'll be ready for that one. Other than that, life goes on. I just finished a 4 day math class for my Math Endorsement, am taking another, and have 5 left to go so I'm way too busy. Bill and Joey (with James and his brother L.J.) just got back from a deer hunt, empty handed, thank goodness. Joey also works after school as a sweeper at Bill's school. Robin is working at Wal Mart and does a lot of community traveling with school.
We were going camping with Kim and family over conference weekend, but snow is expected so that has been canceled. Katie and family are moving to Draper, on horse property, so they can keep their herd of horses with them. Meridy and Kassie are roommates, Jill moved back home with us, Sara is still in San Diego, and Nina is a stay-at-home mom with her 2 children.
I'm going off track in 1 1/2 weeks so I'm driving to California to watch my mom watch TV for a week. It'll be nice to get away for awhile, but I sure enjoy getting back home to my hectic life after all that sitting. So what's new with you? I know - just check your blog, which I love!

Just thought I'd comment on Karen's latest blog. Congratulations to Robyn and it's about time for an update Karen! Last Touch, Pat ( PS : I hit the word "comment" but it didn't go to the comment section..maybe it needs to be tweaked)

Saturday, September 27.
Robin played basketball in Special Olympics and won 3rd in her division and a BRONZE MEDAL!! Now she goes on to the next round, next month. Come watch her! It's a hoot. More later about date, time, & place.

Attention:
"Boot Scootin' Boogie" will begin playing when you open this blog. Scroll down to Robin's Jr. Prom and hit the play button so you can enjoy the dance and song!

Kim & Robin at camp & Joey, getting his "Star" in Scouts

It's been a busy summer in LeeperLand. Bill and the kids have gone camping a lot while Karen has been at class after class after class. Gotta keep ahead of those 5th graders, and I AM smarter than a 5th grader! Now we're back in school. Bill and Karen both have wonderful classes with good students. Robin is going to South Valley College where they will teach her life skills until she's 22 years old. She's going to be working at Wal Mart! Joey is in 8th grade and has applied to be a sweeper at Bill's school, vacuuming rooms and emptying trash for busy teachers. He just got his "Star" in Scouts, has earned his "Life" (but can't get it for 6 months), and will soon be working on his Eagle.

Bill and Joey are getting ready for a big mussle-leader hunt at the end of September. James and his step-brother will be joining them, but we girls have not been invited (yea!). And of course I'm still going to classes, this time to get my Math Endorsement. Again, gotta keep ahead of my munchkins!

And the girls are all busy with their families. We try to meet once a month for a family dinner, but September has been so busy that we have to put it off until mid-October. The first weekend of October (conference weekend) we plan to go camping with Kim and family. The last hurrah until next year.

And Bill stays way busy with his High Council calling in church, while I'm in charge of Emergency Preparedness (i.e. 72 hour kits). Robin has "graduated" from Young Women so she goes to Relief Society with her old Ma. Its nice to have a daughter by my side again. Joey was just ordained a Teacher so he'll get home teaching duties soon.

Like I said, LeeperLand is always busy and never boring!
