...still here!




Nary a post since, ummm.....May. So much to report and catch up on. I probably will not do our summer justice but here are some tid-bits of Nisbet info that I hope will suffice!

Elko had delightful weather in June--it rained almost every day. While I quite enjoyed it, the kids were quite stir crazy by the time the sun came out to stay. We as a family did not go anywhere "special" during that time, but Scott attended EFY in Provo and went white water rafting with his Dad. They had a GREAT time! We finished up the month with a weekend staycation at the cabin in Lamoille. Aunt Lisa came for a visit and a great time was had by all.

In July, we kicked off the month with a very eventful 4th holiday. Jim, Scott and (shocker) I got up early Independance day morning and participated in a 5K. A first for all of us. I am
happy to report that we were not the last to cross the finish line but we DID finish! Scott ran the majority of the race after I pointed out a pretty girl ahead of us at the starting line....he stayed with her the whole time. Ahhhhhh youth! That afternoon we spent at the GBC campus hanging out with friends, BBQ'ing, visiting etc and ended the evening watching fireworks and being thankful for this great land in which we live.

Later on in the month--youth conference for Jim and Scott. Learning to ride a 2-wheeler for Carly and Ryan (both of whom picked up on it without much trouble at all!), lots of piano lessons and vegetable eating for Mom, babysitting and night games galore for Ian and just generally good summer fun for all!

August brought pre-season soccer workouts for Scott, more piano lessons for Mom, and a trip to Lehman Caves for the whole fam! We borrowed a trailer and went (gulp) camping... Down to the Ely area where we camped at Cave Lake. Had a great time! Ryan commented that he NEVER wanted to come home he had so much fun! Thanks again to Charlie and Melanie for lending us their trailer.

Now school is starting in just under a week. I am registered for 8 credits this fall--pre-calculus and anatomy classes--, Scott finished tryouts last night for the soccer team and made JV! Choraliers fundraising has begun and yikes is it going to be expensive to have a child in high school! Ian will be in 6th grade at Flagview and is not excited for learning but can't wait to re-ignite his social life on Monday when school begins. Carly thinks having Mrs. D for 2nd grade is the best thing that has ever happened to her a
nd Ryan is headed for kindergarten with Mrs. Nutting. Mountain View may never be the same once he's arrived there.

Jim continues work at the bank. This weekend he will compete in the annual EHS Soccer alumni game! (He's been working out--look out varsity!)


We are blesse
d....we are happy...and we love getting your updates here and on facebook.
