After church a few weeks ago we decided to get a family picture since James and Erika were heading back out to school at BYUI. We got the tripod out on the deck and Julia showed us how to set our 10-second timer so we could all be in it. Teenagers are good for things like that. :)
Andrea is a 5th grader. She's playing flute in band and taking gymnastics.
Daniel is a junior this year. He's doing cross country right now as well as Marching Band and Madrigals. He turned 17 on Sept 6. Sorry I didn't get a separate post on it, Dan.
Erika is a Senior at BYU Idaho, majoring in Psychology. She's taking some fun classes like guitar, bowling, social dance and Chinese. (She plans to teach English in China next semester.) She's on the girl's intermural cross country team.
David is working in Scouting, speaks each month to
different wards in our stake as a High Councilor and is working on a new chapel which is being built. He also volunteers on Marching Band's Pit Crew.
Julia is a Sophomore. She's playing the clarinet in Marching Band and has started up private clarinet lessons again.
James is a Sophomore at BYU-Idaho studying Business. He's on the frisbee and cross-country intermural teams and is the self-appointed Chess Master of his apartment--after winning his roommate while playing blindfolded. He is preparing his papers to go on a mission next semester.
P.S. Kara and Luke had already driven back to Idaho where they are both completing their last semester. Luke is finishing his course work and working part time on campus. Kara is Student Teaching 2nd grade in the nearby town of Rigby.

It was fun to read about your family and see pictures... I am a little confused there in the middle where your daughter is next to the discription of David. :-)
What sweet pictures! I love having Julia as one of my Mia Maids. She is such a good girl, and I just know she loves all the dating lessons. I tell her to discuss them at dinner with you, so feel free to as her about it.
Ah, lovely. Great pictures and descriptions. You have sweet kids.
Thanks for alerting me Christie that I had somehow deleted part of this. I'll have to fix it.
I like the fall mug-shot line-up idea. What a beautiful family you have, Cheri!
What a beautiful family! (you can never hear that too many times, right?) My mom would line us up regularly too, which does make for some nice memories :)
We just got a tripod and I've been meaning to line up everyone in our fam too!! Such great pictures Cheri and I loved reading about what your family is up to!
Very sweet pictures. I love how you captured their personalities. It is fun to learn a little more about your family.
My sister-in-law taught English in China if Erika wants to talk to someone, or has questions about it. Great pictures!
