We are Still Here!

Yes, the King Family is still here and all is well!  I am a horrible blogger and admitting my faults.  Thank goodness Tracy keeps a daily journal because my 6 month posts are not so great.  Here is the update:
Creighton graduated, moved to Logan and finally has 2 jobs.  Do not ask him about the first one or he will give you a 3-4 minute survey about your Honda that you recently had serviced.  He is also working for Old Navy.  He loves living on his own and any girl who offers to cook for him.  We have some great friends that moved to Logan a few years ago that are taking great care of him.  I think their 4 year old would love to be his girlfriend.
Cambree is having a great summer!  She has a great group of friends and has had fun with all of them.  She discovered (and so did I) that Dad has a jet ski and thinks the river is the place to be.  I decided to sign her up for a dance camp 2 weeks ago, last week was Stake Girls Camp (the best ever!!!!) and she and Ken are at CSI camp this week.  She also started a business this summer and is renting a bounce house. (Her little sisters love this idea.)
Kennadee has been dancing all summer.  She and some of her friends are BHS Stepperettes, the school dance team.  Every day in June, she was at practice at 7am with a smile.  I think she has had a great time.  She went to Utah for camp in June.  She loved Girls camp and is also at CSI this week for dance camp.  She gets to be Clara in the Fair parade before she hands the crown to someone else.
Kayson is Kayson.  He would like to hibernate in the basement but we do make him come out.  He loves bountiful baskets and eats all the fruit before it has a chance to even ripen.  He is still going to Pocatello on Mondays and the shop to work on Thursday mornings.  He just got back from Camp Bradley where he earned 5 1/2 merit badges.  The half was canoeing.  He was doing great until someone told him there were leeches in the water.  He never saw one or got back in to find out.
Kaia is doing great.  She is feeling better with only a few down days.  She and Kes have been taking Swimming lessons for a month.  They are turning into fish!  She can do a round off, back tuck.  She has been playing baseball and has had a great time.  She LOVES to bat and is a great little hitter.  She thinks the batting cage is amazing.  She played in the longest game (according to Mom) ever!  She has finally decided her hair is pretty cool and left it natural.  She also discovered the joy of Coconut Oil for her skin (so did everyone in the house and it ain't cheap).
Kestle' keeps us hopping.  She loves everything and everyone.  She almost misses Creighton.  She has loved swimming lessons especially the cute teacher!  She is just like a hurricane, leaving a swath of destruction wherever she goes.  She is getting big enough that no one offers to help her in the recovery phase now.  All the girls did a little summer dance workshop, but Kes loved it most because she finally got to take JAZZ.  She is so much fun but so temperamental that one minute your laughing and the next teaching everyone how to count to 10.
Tracy got to go to girls camp with the stake and had a fabulous time.  He is still running his 7 miles every other day and currently has no aches and pains.  Nothing much changes in his life, go to work, go to meetings, hang out with us.  He wouldn't want it any other way.
I am dreading summer being over.  I know we're just past halfway but it seems it's all downhill from here.  I have sat at the pool with the girls and am currently sporting a fabulous knee tan. I have run kids from one thing to another.  I really don't think I have accomplished much else this summer.
