It has been so fun to hear about your families and how you all are doing. I love it!
The Finlayson family is doing well. Here is a quick run down:
I guess Brittani has the biggest news of our whole family - she is engaged and is getting married on December 20. She met her fiance, Cody Jacobs, over the summer through mutual friends, and they have been having fun together ever since. Brittani is swimming for BYU and loving it ...I know, I know, where did we go wrong with our parenting?!? Cody also attends BYU, and even though he almost always is wearing something from that school down south, we love him and are excited to have him as part of our family.
Nathan is a Junior at Lone Peak High School. He is driving, dating, and living the dream. He is on the varsity lacrosse team, swim team, and plays in the jazz band and symphonic band at school. Busy, busy boy! Nathan is at such a fun age and is so fun to be around - I love it when we get the chance to just hang out together.
Connor just turned 12 in September and is in 6th grade. His football season ended a few weeks ago and now we are trying to figure out what to do to keep him busy until spring lacrosse starts! If I don't keep him buys, those dang video games do! Connor is a kind and loving boy, and other than a slight arguing problem, he is super fun to be around too! One thing that amazes me about Connor is his ability to remember stats. You can ask him anything about his favorite teams or players, and he will know the answer, and then give you more information then you ever knew you wanted!
Rick and I are busy just trying to keep up with life and kids and wedding planning. Rick rode LOTOJA (a bicycle race from Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, WY) for his 9th time in September. He rides on a great team with a lot of amazing people, and has loved the friendships that he has created there. He continues to be an amazing father to our little family and gives everything he has - and then some - to us. Rick has been able to coach both of our boys in football (7 straight years) and it has been fun for me to watch him build amazing relationships with so many of the boys he coaches. He is a good man with a huge heart and I'm so lucky he is mine!
I'm so thankful for this amazing Bengtzen family and for all of your examples to me. Thank You!
Love you all!
