time flies when you are having fun

This week has been one crazy thing after another, just like every other week we have around here.

Kaitlyn had a full week of guard and is trying to cruise through six (yes, that's six) summer classes so she has time to play/sew during the school year. She is currently taking Driver's Ed, Computer Tech, and Fitness for Life. She has been cruising through assignments pretty good and made huge progress. We're not sure she will finish before school starts but it won't be from lack of trying. Kaitlyn has also started running in the mornings before guard and was challenged to run a 5K by the end of the summer. So, she and her mom have been training. They are shooting for their first run in September.

Wells finished his summer English class through the High School and is getting a head start on English 11. English at school does not agree with him but English at home does! So, he has a goal to get through all four classes before Labor Day. Cheer him on! He also had his Eagle Scout project scheduled but the contact at Logan City forgot and didn't get stuff ready for him. He is now trying to figure out another day to do it. Needless to say, he's a bit frustrated. He will still be able to get everything finished before the end of the summer. Wells has been thoroughly enjoying his new bike. He went on several 10-mile rides before his mom was able to go with him. Well, she pushed him to 18 miles and he pushed her to go faster. Their first ride together is next week. They are going to ride 23 miles around Antelope Island at night! It is going to be so much fun. And, Wells will get in some nighttime driving hours--win, win for everyone

Lee and Marlene have been crazy busy at work and trying to keep up with the kids. We are having a hard time deciding if it will be a good thing or a bad thing to have a teenage driver.
