Spencer's football season

Spencer had fun this year playing football. He played wide reciever and cornerback. At one of the games in Vernal he caused a fumble when he tackled the reciever and then he got confused because he didn't see that his team recovered and were now on offense. He thought they were still on defense. Anyway it was a short season and he says he definitely playing again next year.
The rest of the kids were involved in Soccer. We've had a very busy fall trying to get to 5 games sometimes in one night. Its fun to see them all involved.

Felkins reunion August 2008

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

I know, I know its been a while. Alot has happened since June. School has started at least it does this week for Paige, and soccer and football madness start on Tuesday. We are going to be busy. In other news Spence and I had a little accident on Thursday. I was going around a turn and I went a little to wide, hit some gravel and you guessed it crashed. Spencer flew over the top of me I slammed my head into the pavement, luckily I had the helmet on, and we both cut our knees pretty good. I have some good road rash as you can see in the pictures. Anyway we are okay and hopefully Spencer will be back playing football in a week or so. The first week of school went off without a hitch and feels like we never had a summer break, even though we did a ton of things this year.

June 29th 2008

Well we've had an interesting week. Genny and I survived the triathlon in Vernal yesterday. Genny got 3rd place in the 35-39 age division. She killed me on the bike and run. I need to practice more so I don't get beat so bad. The swim I did really good in, it only took me 17 minutes to go half a mile. But I made up for it in the transitions. I was a little slow. Genny caught me on the bike to run transition and blew past on the run. Chris did the olympic race and got 2nd in his age division. It finally got really hot here too. Although its all relative. The kids played in the sprinklers and we went swimming alot. Jason said an intersting thing at dinner today. We were talking about the lesson Genny and I gave on reverence and he said " How do you make babies?" I don't know what he's thinking but it was funny. Genny said you need a Mom and a Dad, and then he said "well how do you get the Dad stuff into the Mom. " Anyway it was pretty comical. I was laughing too hard to tell him any more. But he took it in stride when I said I would explain a little more later. Well enjoy the pics.

Jason loves baseball

Jason likes to play baseball. He was probably the youngest person on his team. He learned alot about how to play the game. Hopefully he will stick with it. In other news Me and Kyle went to youth conference at Snow College. I think he had a pretty good time, especially when he got me soaked from the water fight. He slept most of the day Friday when we got home.

Summer is here

Its been awhile. School is out and summer break is in full swing. Kyle and Spencer spent a week at orchestra camp, and all the kids just got done with their first week of swimming lessons. Genny spent last week at girls camp at the Heber valley camp. She had a lot of fun, and got one huge blister. Kyle and I are going to youth conference at Snow college this week. It should be fun.

Kyle's machine movie.

Kyle's Machine

Kyle just got finished with a major project for his 8th grade science class. He has a really mean teacher. He had to build a machine to do a simple task. His task was to pour water into a cup. Well he did a pretty good job, although it was frustrating for him and me also. I had to step back several times and let him figure it out. Needless to say he got the job done and he is so happy now.

As you can tell I don't update this as often as I should.  Kaylee's b-day was last week. She is 10 now, WOW!!  She had a great day. After school I took her out to eat at a new restaraunt here in Roosevelt.  We both had huge avacodo burgers.  Kaylee couldn't finish hers.  Then we came home and had b-day cake.  We also had an honors banquet for school. Kyle was able to go and he got an award for outstanding 8th grader. He's awesome.  This week the boys and I are going on a Father and sons outing. Hopefully it doesn't rain on us.  Jason has talked about going for 3 months now. He can't wait.

Kyle's Orchestra Trip

Kyle made it to California and back in one piece. He had a blast. They traveled for 36 hours and spent 24 hours in California. Anyway, the orchestra did really well at the festival. The ended up getting a gold rating, and a really nice plaque. Then they spent the rest of Friday afternoon at Knottsberry Farm. As you can see in the pictures Kyle was either scared to death or loving the rides, you decide. They also went to a pirate theme dinner. He said it was neat, and the chicken was good but the roast beef wasn't. He didn't get much sleep those 3 days, and he said he couldn't sleep on the bus. They charted a bus so they were able to watch movies on the way. On the return trip they suprised the kids by stopping at the beach. Some of them had never seen the ocean and they ended up playing in the water for about 3 hours. So they didn't get home until about 3 AM on Sunday morning. Kyle was very tired for church, but he went and then slept the rest of the day. He was pretty much a zombie until Monday. It was worth all the hard work and he had a good experience.

Jason & Kristina's Baptism

Saturday Jason and Kristina were baptized. We had both Grandmas and Grandpas, Gail and Peter, Greg, Chris & Emily, Gary & Lori, and cousins came to visit. Gary took us out Geo-caching and we are now convinced that we have to have a GPS!! Peter made us brawts and everybody had a really nice time. The boys and Kaylee slept out in the tent trailer, apparently it wasn't too cold. They had lots of fun. We were sad it was such a short weekend and we wish everyone could be here, but we know everyone was thinking of us. It was fun to see Jason and Kristina after they were baptized, Jason said " I feel really warm inside" , that was neat to hear.

Spring is here!!!!!

A lot has happened since January. Pretty much all the snow has melted and its finally warming up. We think its hot even though it hasn't even hit 60 yet. Jason and Kristina had their 8th b-day party. Unfortunately we were a little slow getting the invitations out, so not too many of their friends made it. They had a dog party and made shrinky-dink collars for their stuffed dogs. They had fun. Jason is signed up for baseball and Kyle, Kaylee, and Spencer are playing spring soccer this year. Kristina wants to play softball but we haven't heard if there will be sign-ups or not. Nana and Pa came over on their way to Erin's for Easter. We all met at Chris's house and they had fun together with their cousins. They had a treasure easter egg hunt. It was nice to visit. Its been a nice spring break. On Saturday we went geo-caching with some friends. It was really fun, and needless to say we may have to get our own gps and go out some more. We all enjoyed it. Its warm enough to break out the motorcycle, although its still a little chilly.

Spencer's 12th b-day

Feb 12, 2008

Well we are still going strong.  We are taking a break from sports for awhile.  So right now things are a little slow.  Kyle is doing community orchestra and trying to raise money for his orchestra trip to California.   Spencer had his 12th b-day.  We celebrated by going to the winter scout camp. There was tons of snow.  He is excited to be a Deacon.  Kaylee is doing well in school. Kristina and Jason are doing well. Jason is getting better at reading and he wants to do anything I am doing.  Paige has tons of friends and she goes to play at a different house almost everyday.

Jan news

We have had a busy month.  I just got back from Uncle Stoney's funeral. It was a real quick trip. The kids are done with sports for now.  We are just sitting back and enjoying being home.  The kids love the Christmas present. (the wii)  They try to play it everyday and they are getting pretty good at it. Although I can still beat them at golf.
