Off to Canada, eh

We got our anticipated call this morning from Nick as he began his journey to the mission field. He called from the Salt Lake airport on their way to Detroit and then to Halifax. He left the MTC at 6 am and will arrive at the mission office at 11pm this evening. They are traveling with 11 Elders and 2 Sisters, all going to the same mission.



He sounded good and was excited to first get some breakfast and then to finally be out in the mission field. (Teenagers) He loved the MTC and all the opportunities that were there to help him prepare to be a more effective missionary.



Darbi had another XC race we attended in Yakima this last weekend. We drove up and stayed in a hotel on Friday and then watched the races all day Saturday. There were 400 kids in each heat and there were 8 heats. She came in 35th in her race. The girls team placed 3rd overall.






Jaren wasn't able to race because the doctor wouldn't clear him to run in a race of that size. There was a lot of pushing and shoving and spiking going on. The doctor told him to wait 2 or 3 more weeks before he tried to run but he jumped on the treadmill last night and ran 3 miles. He said it felt pretty good even though his arm looked like it was frozen in place while he ran.



Zoe continues to excell in school and ask lots of questions. She comes up with such brainiac things I have accused Nikki of cheating because I couldn't father someone so smart. So I had her take a paternity test and sure enough.....the father is pictured below.
