The Weston Wilkins Family - Especially for Breanne

OK Breanne, here is the  Weston Wilkins condensed version of what is going on in our family :)

Terriann and Todd are currently home in Fair Grove. Todd is finishing up his degree this semester at Missouri State.  Terriann is still making temple bags and sells them in her ETSY shop and on her blog.  Wes and Ty are growing older and wiser :). Ty will be 1 on October 13, Wes will be 4 December 1.

Shanell and Logan are in Salt Lake City.  Logan works for Deseret Digital Media - Logan does web marketing. Shanell just got a job  at the Huntsman Cancer center in SLC.  She is nervous to actually be working, but is also excited.

Rachelle and Taylor are both TOGETHER in Bolivar.  It was a long time apart while he was in Afghanistan, but he is home and working at the Bolivar Police Dept.  Rachelle is going to school at Missouri State.  She has 2 or 3 semesters and then will do her student teaching to be a PE teacher.

Sydnie and Dallin spent the summer in Alaska working.  Dallin drove a shuttle bus and Syd directed people to their desired tours.  The were able to do some fun things that they might not have ever been able to do if they hadn't been working there.  They are both back in school in Rexburg and are living in a nice little apartment for married students.

Kelsie graduated from MCE in May.  She worked at the pool in Willard lifeguarding again this summer.  She is currently in Rexburg - rooming with Breanne - and getting her feet wet with the whole college life stuff.  When I left her, she looked like she was going to have a great time.

Taylor is the lone girl left at home.  She is a junior this year.  She is looking forward to basketball and has been working out with the Junior High to get/stay in shape.  She spends a lot of time with the Stoll girls and Ciara - they are ALL crazy!!

Hunter is in 8th grade this year.  He is getting taller and taller.  He is playing on the basketball team.  He will be 14 on the 17th and will advance to a Teacher.  I can't believe that!  He is a lot like his Dad and loves to work with him fixing fence, working cows, etc.  He is a huge help.

Connor turned 12 in March.  He was excited to be a Deacon.  He is also playing basketball and LOVES it.  He is in 7th grade - school isn't too hard for him yet.  He likes being in mutual now - no more Primary Sacrament programs :).

I am teaching Early Morning Seminary.  I have 4 students and we hold it at my house - which is very convenient :)  Sometimes it's not so great though when we have a busy evening the night before and we still have to have the kitchen table for seminary - if you get my meaning.  I am busy with my vinyl, and I enjoy it.  I miss my kids that are far away, and always look forward to visits from all of them - even the close by ones :)

Weston is always busy with work, the cows, the ward, etc.  He seems to balance everything out.  He is a good Bishop and is concerned about the members in the ward.  We've had some fun ward activities including a ward campout that was very well attended and enjoyed by everyone.

So that is us right now in a nutshell.  We would love to hear what everybody else has going on.  We love you all!
