This one's for you Jessi!

As requisted by my sweet cousin, Jessi, I'll update the blog.

Next thursday is the day for little Eve Mackenzie Empey is born! We're all so excited and anxiously awaiting her arrival. Erin's baby shower was definitely rewarding for little Eve. She got TONS of clothes and lots of toys with three baby bouncers (one for Erin's apartment, one for GRANDMA!! and one for Grandma Gladys' apartment) a little seat, high chair, hoody towels, and tons of other stuff! Before birth, the baby is already being spoiled!

Lorin is still running in track! Though she was not able to run in district's, she was still a major help to the other members on the team. Are we surprised? Since birth Lorin has been a sure fire psycholagist. She has also been accepted for the winter track at BYU Idaho!!! Woo hoo Lorin! Though she will be greatly missed, we are so excited that she's doing well!

As for myself, choir is still making me crazy but in a fun lovin' sort of way. I'm preparing to audition for a summer musical. This year's production is The King and I! I'm totally excited and nervous of course! But absolutely thrilled for the opportunity to go more

public with my voice! I thank all of those who have supported me and helped me to get as far as I have! I'm also singing the National Anthem at a Texas Rough Riders Baseball Game! Yee hah! I'm jazzed of course. I've also got a summer job and am making bank with excessive babysitting. I work at a place called My Gym and will be helping to teach classes to small children and kids! My exact area of expertise, would you agree? My summer is totally crazy!

The boys are also going crazy this baseball season! Brendan's team is off to a rough start but played an awesome game on thursday! 10 to 9 was the final score and the hardworking team only lost by one! So close! They made an awesome come back in the last inning though, scoring 4 runs and preventing anymore runs from the other team! Brendan made awesome plays playing short stop and also hit the ball and ran to first, stole second and third! A totally awesome game! Ethan had his game on Tuesday and did a very good job! They won their first game 5 to 2! Ethan played both catcher and pitched the last half of the inning and recieved a baseball tattoo (that's a bruise for those of you who aren't baseball junkies like the Empey's) but stuck it out like the beast he is!

Reagan is driving us crazy in a fun lovin' sort a way with her girlish behavior and her new boombox. She has since turned 7 years old yet acts older than all of us put together with her huge vocabulary and wide mind. She got a pink Boombox and as repeated the Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat CD since March 11th!

We took an awesome vacation to Kentucky and had loads of fun there! We miss our friends like crazy and wished they could move to Texas with us. We saw our good friend Austin Woodbury in his school production of Oklahoma as he played the lead role of Curly. He did an awesome job as well as the others who participated. The kids spent time at their friends house, I stayed at Kaylin and Baylie's houses with their totally awesome families and played my arrangement of A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief in sacrament meeting. After the church meeting we left in the van to start our journey back to Texas. We love and miss everyone so much!

How's that for an update, Jess. Hope everyone's curiousity for the Empey's life has been quenched till the next update! Love you all!
