You probably don't remember me, but I'm your big sister, Jennie. We think about you all the time and pray for you everyday, but writing hasn't been my strong point of late.
We love hearing how you are doing via Mom. The kids love seeing you in the pictures. They were worried when the hurricane went through your territory. It sounds like you
are doing awesome!
We are all doing great! We've been enjoying jogging. Jaremy, Jessica, Benjamin, and Moroni have trained for the Snow Canyon Half Marathon in three weeks. We are all
excited to have a vacation in St. George. Our baby girl is due in about 7 weeks. We just rearranged beds and cribs this afternoon. The kids are way excited! Of course,
Jaremy and I are too! Jessica is getting straight As at Logan High. She is in orchestra and Chinese plus the basics. She does a lot more with friends and after school
activities now. Benjamin is becoming quite the artist. He is currently reading Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Preach My Gospel, and the scriptures, of course.
He is trying to convince us that he wants to homeschool himself part of the day so he can take on-line high school courses. Moroni is competitive. He schooled everyone
in a mile race on Saturday. He also placed in the top 10 in a 5K with 200 people. Benjamin took 3rd running against adults, teens, and everything. Moroni loves to read,
write stories, and draw. Natalie has started public school. She loves it! She's doing great. She loves mountain biking with her dad and older siblings. She pushes herself
and goes off all the big jumps her brothers do. Hyrum is learning to read. He'd rather design cars, robots, machines, etc. more than anything. He builds them out of Legos,
cardboard, and whatever he can find. He spends hours doing this. It's a struggle to get him to do anything else. Ella and Tank both talk about the baby all the time. They
are way excited. They both love going to the park, playing house, and riding bikes. Ella is quite the runner. She is steady and fast! She loves girly stuff and school. Tank
talks like crazy. He's way smart and understands things you wouldn't think a guy his age would. He is also a mess maker! He does it on purpose sometimes to get
somebody's goat. Other times he just wants to do things he's not old enough to do without creating a disaster. Now that I'm huge I have a hard time keeping up with the
little dude. But he's cute as a button and sweet as honey, so that should get him to his third birthday. Jaremy is designing a new line of ultra running shoes at work. He
seems to really enjoy that considering he's taken up running. He loves running. He never thought he would. I just try to keep up with the comings and goings of everyone.
I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so much activity and so many awesome souls. Heavenly Father has blessed me beyond what I ever imagined!
We are going to be much better at staying in touch. We love you!!! Have a great week!
Love, The Butler Family
