Ryatt aka Riot (little story there, but Dad spells it one way while Mom spells it the other way) is now in fourth grade. He has recently discovered a love for camouflage and can't wait to get a set of real dog tags from his future brother-in-law, Zakk. Ryatt loves karate, football, reading, video games, and listening to his dad's funny stories.
Rain is moving out on Thursday. Really far out. He's headed to Liberia, West Africa to serve as an LDS missionary for the next two years. We'll get emails weekly (if we're lucky), and phone calls on Christmas and Mother's Day. Rain graduated from high school with high honors, earned his Eagle Scout award, and will head to Brigham Young University when he returns from Africa.
Rikki is now a senior at Utah State University, majoring in Management Information Systems with a minor in Computer Science. She's engaged to be married later this year with plans to move to Anchorage, Alaska after college graduation in May.
Rochelle continues to work at ProModel Corporation in Orem, Utah, with occasional trips around the country and globe teaching engineers. She ran her second marathon in May, in the rain, somewhat slowly.
Dale is entering Halloween season a little behind his normal decorating schedule due to Rain's mission preparation activities and our various family reunions and get-togethers. When he's not making us chuckle (or laugh out loud), Dale's fixing cars and ATVs, driving Ryatt to karate, coaching Ryatt's football team, working on the yard, or working out at Ultimate Peak Crossfit.
