Here is a quick introduction of our family. Wayne and Deborah are both currently teaching at the same high school in Auburn, Washington. Wayne teaches math, and Deborah teaches science.

Our two oldest boys, Seth and Travis are both high school seniors. Both have applied to BYU. Travis has been awarded a four-year scholarship to BYU-Provo. Seth should hear from BYU anyday now! Seth is currently reving up for track and field. He hopes to return to state this year and place as a top finisher in the 800 meter run. Western Washington University has expressed interest in him becoming a mid-distance runner for them. We will see where this goes. Prior to college, both boys will be serving full-time missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Our two oldest daughters, Tess and Jessica are also busy and accomplished! Tess is beginning water polo season where she is an awesome goalie. She just finished life-guarding classes and hopes to work part time as a lifeguard after water polo season ends. Jessica is a 4.0 student, and has just begun diving for King Aquatics. She hopes to perform at the state diving meet next season. Jessica is also a blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do.

Ethan and Amanda both started high school this year. Both played basketball for the high school, and had decent seasons. Ethan is an excellent artist and has become a great guitar player. Amanda's JV basketball team went 17-1 this year, she is a point guard. Amanda is also a 4.0 student and a blackbelt like Jessica.

Aarun is in 8th grade, and is preparing for high school next year. He played varsity football and basketball for his middle school, and will be running track this year too. Aarun is an excellent athlete and great student, we are proud of him!

Evan and Alyssa and both in 6th grade. Evan is a blackbelt and also a straight A student (do you see a trend?). Evan will be running track and practicing his trumpet this spring. Alyssa participated in basketball, gymnastics, and will be running track too. She is a great student (very smart) and an artist much like Ethan and Tess. Alyssa loves to have sleepovers and is getting taller everyday!

We hope that you enjoy our updates and pictures!
