Brian and Jessica
Brian and I have been really busy with work/projects this past month and can hardly believe that Africa is 14 days away! We managed to fit in a trip to San Diego to visit a few of Brian’s friends from North Carolina who now live in SoCal, plus another friend who was in town. I continue to enjoy getting to know the people I have heard so much about and it’s never a bad idea to spend some time in San Diego! Our days of flying under the radar in our new ward are officially over. We both spoke in church this month and received our first callings – it’s off to the YW presidency for me and the primary for Brian! Those Valiant boys are darn lucky if you ask me and I have already enjoyed some of the time I have spent with the girls. Brian is squeezing in a trip to China for work before we head on vacation…oh, and we’re going to Colorado for the BYU vs. Air Force game on Sept 11. It should be a great setting considering the day, and I’ll be sporting my BYU t-shirt while yelling over and over “Go Cougs!” (I still feel the need to repeat this to myself…like I have to convince myself it is okay). I’m looking forward to my Badgers cleaning up in the Big Ten and my Packers dominating the NFL. It could be a very good season for us Wisconsin natives J Now let’s just hope neither of us get eaten by a lion while in Africa so we can enjoy football season!

August was very typical for us – canning produce, which is always rewarding to see the storage room full – but not a whole lot of fun. Now we are waiting for the peaches and pears to come on. Dad has been enjoying his CNC and was involved in making 60 toy kits for a humanitarian project our ward did. He also dealt with medical issues and is getting them resolved by losing weight – down 18 pounds already!!! He was supposed to have cataract surgery, but that is on hold because of arterial disease in one eye. In November they will see how things are and decide what to do next.
Not a very exciting month, but we are still kickin’ – so that is a good thing.
Hope all of the greatest kids in the world have a wonderful school year!!!!!

Wow!!! September really flew by. I even forgot to get the newsletter posted. But here we are. Trying to get on track.
Christian and I are in our 2nd season of softball and doing great. I think we are in first place right now. Just rec league. I am feeling so much stronger and faster so that is great. And I feel like I can control my hits a little more.
Brenten and Landon are playing soccer and loving it. Brenten is starting to learn a lot of skills. Landon doesn't like the idea of bunch ball but will get the ball every once in a while. I don't know if we should encourage the bunch ball so that he will get in there and be a little aggressive or if I should support him "spreading out".
Brenten is a first grader now. He loves his teacher and is doing great. He is really reading very well.
Landon is doing preschool but we are doing more of a joy school so it is me and a couple of other mom's doing it. He really seems to be liking it.
I think that is about all for now. September is an exciting month for us. Christian and I are going to Hawaii for the first time. Great picts next month.
