State Champion in the 400 meters
48.76 Seconds

May 2016: by Becky

Auriana is home for the summer, so we have our entire family under one roof again.  Yay! She is working on campus as a secretary as well as working at a music store in Springville.  She recently found out she was accepted into the Communication Disorders program at BYU, so she is excited about that.  She is looking forward to going to Nauvoo in a couple of weeks with the Folk Dance team, and we are excited about going there to watch her perform.  We will drive for two days, site see for two days, and drive home for two days.  We will drop Natalie off in Denver on our way home for a soccer tournament.

Isaac is the Region Champion in the 400 meter this year.  He set a personal record of 49.57 seconds and he became #2 on the top ten board for all time at Spanish Fork High School.  He achieved academic All State for track and he is looking forward to running at the state meet next weekend at BYU in the 100 meter, the 200 meter, and the 400 meter.  He is counting down and only needs to run the 400 meter at one more meet in his life, he is looking forward to being done with that one race.  It’s a tough one to run!  It was very fun to see Adam and Matt at the last meet … Maybe that extra support gave him the added energy he needed to win the 400 :-). Isaac will graduate from high school on May 24 and from Seminary on May 29 where he will speak.  He will be going to the temple on July 8 before the Pratt Reunion starts.  He will speak in church on July 31 and enter the MTC August 3.  Please join us anytime that it fits into your schedule :-)

Isaac and Natalie had their end of year choir concert this week, and it was very well done. Natalie tried out and made the Chambers Singers Choir for next year, which should be a great opportunity and experience for her.  Her spring Soccer season has ended and she is still in one piece ... all the other kids only have a game or two left.  She has started working at the concession stand at the Baseball Park.

Enoch is really enjoying soccer this season.  His team is really fun to watch and he has been able to score a couple of times this season.  He is preparing to be a leader at the Timberline Scout Camp this summer and has decided on an Eagle Project.  He is hoping to provide Emergency backpacks for the orphanage in Mexico that Isaac visited earlier this year.  

Miriam got to dress up as the Canyon Elementary cougar cub for a school assembly recently. It was very hot and sweaty, but she had fun.  She gave her first sacrament meeting talk today and did a great job.  She is looking forward to giving tennis a try this summer and she MIGHT try out for a soccer team again, she is thinking about it.  

Ellie became SF champion in her track races and the long jump again this year.  She is unbeatable! Her time is even faster than all but one of the 4th grade boys in all of Spanish Fork.  Two more weeks of school and we start summer vacation! She and Miriam are missing a day of school today to babysit Brenda during her recovery :-)
