This is such a great idea!

I just wrote the biggest update on Kris and I and the time had expired so it didn't publish, and when I went back to get it--it was gone.
We are excited to see everyone on Saturday. Happy B-day Julia & Kris!!! We love you.

Cute idea!

This was a cute idea, Kacie! I like it when you have the Internet. I didn't think we needed a blog because we had a Katie. Both are nice however.

Hi Everyone!

Hey guys! I hope that you are way excited about this blog. I think it will be a lot of fun and a great way to keep in touch. I think I got everyone invited except Kevin. I don't have an email address for him, so if someone would send it to me I would appreciate it.

I am going to start things off by telling you what is up with my family.

The kids and I are looking forward to the end of the school year. For them it means a totally awesome summer break. For me it means that I will have one less thing to do over the summer. For Trent it means that the kids will be around all the time and that is especially hard when he is on night shift. I am taking 2 classes. Human Anatomy, which is going to be tough. Who knew that a human skull had so many bones and bone parts? I have to know them and all the other bones, muscles, tissues, etc, so plan on seeing me doing a lot of studying this summer (Awesome, I know). My other class is Chemistry, which is also going to be hard, but I am not so worried about that one because I have Dad and Kody who I can bug with all my questions! (Thanks in advance for your help!)

Gavin is really excited to be "graduating" from jr. high. I am not looking forward to that so much. He got into a cool program called Quest that is for gifted students. It will be a lot of extra work, I hope we can handle it. He and Ryker are not quite done with baseball. They each have a few games left. Gavin played tonight. They won 22-9. Gavin pitched and had a couple of good hits (I missed the best one because I had Young Women). Ryker is doing really well, he mostly plays catch, but has also been getting in some pitching. He loves it. The regular season will be over the first or second week of June, but I have a sneaking suspicion that our boys won't be finished. I'll keep you updated. We have been at the ball field so much this year that we practically live there. Their snack bar is NOT good for my waist line!

Saige is doing great. Looking forward to the summer, although I know she is going to get bored very quickly. She had her dance recital a few weeks ago. When I get the DVD I will see if  I can post it here. She did a really great job. They danced to Madonna's "Vogue". They got to be little supermodels, so we got to have some fun with her hair instead of the usual "sides up, curly".

Trent is working hard and trying to get some bike rides in before it gets too warm. So anyone who is up for a ride, let him know!

 

I hope that you guys will write about your families and what is going on with you.

Love you most!

Hello, Powell Family!

I thought it would be really cool for us to set up a blog for our family, so that we can keep track of each other a little easier. Taylor has set one up for the Keele family and I really like it. I am very new to this, so I still don't know a lot about how it works. We will be able to post pictures as well as updates about our families. I hope that you guys will like it. So far, it seems really easy to use. I know that Kris and Ty have a blog, so maybe you guys can give the rest of us some tips about how it works.
