TEXAS SCOTTS
What a busy time it has been.  We meant to go to Pismo and ended up at the Hospital.  John is doing well now.  We tried to go to the water park and it rained and rained with lightning and thunder.  We tried to go again and  Issac hurricane  threatened us  and we stayed home...that means Issac the hurricane did not land at Vidor.  What  a blessing!  So other then that --we have moved to North Vidor into a house and are loving it!  We are still unpacking and cleaning.  Our address is the same.   Cat is a Junior this year and school has started.  She is excited about it. She and her family really loved Pismo....  Seminary starts this week.  Cat got her permit and is driving often.  Not doing too bad either!  She so enjoys that too!

We love and miss you all and look forward to hearing about you all.

love, the Texas Scotts




WARD WIDE WEB

We said goodbye to Mica on August 22n. She reported to the MTC the very same day Chelsy left the MTC for Tennessee. It was an early morning, but Mica was READY to go! She was greeted in Utah by some good friends and Samuel. What a treat for her to be surrounded by so many loved ones all the way to the curb at the MTC.

Here she is on the airport monitors after passing through security. She walked the looooong walk down to the gates and we watched her almost the entire way.

JEREMY is back into the swing of school life as a principal. He's finished up teacher training days, the first 2 weeks of school, and participated in messy chocolate syrup marshmallow lunch time relays. He has been working hard in his calling also, trying very hard to stay organized with the hundreds of merit badges the boys have earned over the summer and is just about ready for a HUGE court of honor - happening tonight!

JENNIFER is learning how to find a balance between carpooling, housework, starting a new job, piano lessons, homework time, finding time to eat dinner as a family, soccer practice, church events, school events, helping Jeremy at work, etc. It's amazing to feel the difference between lazy summer days and ultra scheduled life.

TREVOR has big news! He is a starter on his water polo team at school. He is the sprinter and the hole set. This is a huge responsibility on a water polo team. He also began his 8th grade year, grew about 4 inches this summer, dropped a few octaves in his voice, and is happily surrounded by a great group of friends.

LOGAN is #1! That's what his football jersey tells us anyway ;) He will be playing an offensive position when the games begin. Logan is the big man on campus this year - 6th grade. He is excited to have a cool teacher who is also his football coach. Logan is looking forward to his 6th grade Sonora field trip where all the students go up to the dorms and spend 2 nights away from home.

LIZZIE also has big news! She tried out for her first drama production ever and got a call back! She will have a speaking part in this year's production of "The Grunch" (an all new children's musical written by Uncle Samuel's old high school buddy - Denver Casado). Lizzie started her 4th season of soccer last week and can't wait for the games to begin!

JACKSON got 2 wart frozen off last week. He laughed his head off during the first freezing...then cried like a baby through the second. He must've thought Dr. Jones was joking when he said, "Jackson, this is really going to hurt." Now the warts are gone and we are treating the wounds from the burns. Jackson also started soccer practice and loves his team already.




Here are some of the photos from Marcy. You should have received these photos in your email inbox. If not, please email Jennifer.

Jonathan said this was the last time all the Boggs siblings were gathered together. What a great moment captured forever.

 

Mott Quad (a.k.a. Motschiedler Madness)

We've had a fun-filled summer with lots of swimming and outdoor play when it wasn't too hot. Desh is becoming such a big boy and talking more and more. He loves to be outside and play with other kids. He loves driving his toy cars around and pushing anything with wheels.

I'm feeling pretty good approaching my 5th month of pregnancy. We were excited to find out last week that we're having another boy! We've already planned for bunkbeds and have been busy converting our office/guest room into a No Girlz Allowed playroom (we're willing to make exceptions, of course). I made the decision this month to spend a little more time at the school and I now go in for a full day once a week while Deshy goes to his Grammy's. Its great for both of us to get a little away time. 

Ken is busy working on purchasing another apartment complex for our business, this one twice the size as our current one. Its a little scary but very exciting to watch our business grow. Ken loves rough housing with Desh and playing "Dad's a human jungle gym". He's loving being a dad and can't wait for the next little guy to join our family.
