Newton News

Hey everyone! So much has happened in such a small amount of time. We have been so busy. Cory and Troy started football with the Eastern Idaho Lionz. Troy also just started school at Madison High School. His first day he ate lunch with 18 girls. Let's just say he's pretty happy. The boys have also been working on the basement. Hopefully we'll get it done soon, but right now it's a great place for the kids to ride their bikes.



I can't believe it, but Brody just started nursery! It's so crazy how fast he's grown up. He still doesn't like to say a lot, he just mumbles most of the time, or rolls his eyes. His new favorite fetish is shoes. He cries when he wakes up until I get his shoes on. I just got him 2 new pair, and he is in heaven. Marlee is still her fun and crazy self. She's made the unfinished kids nook in our basement her room. We put a mattress down there and she sleeps there every night. It's so crazy that she's not afraid. I guess that's just Marlee. Fearless.

I went to Moab two weeks ago with my old Utah rec team. It was so much fun. We stayed in a sweet condo, with amazing views of the red rocks. There were 42 teams at the tourney, and we made the top 14, which is pretty good for us. I've also been busy lately being called into the Young Women Presidency as the secretary. It's been so fun spending time with the youth in our ward. I love it.

That is crazy Marlee will sleep down there. I'm freakin 24 years old and would be scared. :-) We miss you guys as always. And congrats on your volleyball. Way to go Brenda and Steph!

It is so good to hear from you. I have been thinking about you guys a ton lately. Wondering what you all are up to. I miss seeing your kids grow up. It seems like we were there all the time when Marlee was little! :( We were hoping that you could plan a trip down to Utah when we get our house sold. We really need the Newton boy muscle! Prego me is not much assistance!

The girls have really been missing Marlee, I have a card Katelynn made and I have been meaning to mail it to you for about three weeks now...we may end up just giving it to you when we see you next. Morgan has a shoe fettish as well I think her and Brody (Christopher) would get along great! Tell Cory he needs to have lots of fun with that boy (and move closer so we can enjoy him also!)...Brian is worried he will be the only one to carry on the Newton Name!

I never thought about using an unfinished basement as a place to ride bikes what a great idea! Hope to see you soon!
