The Runnin’ Utes

From the Layton Trauntveins

We’re all here a doing well. Sorina is continuing to make us smile and laugh and awe at her abilities on a daily basis. She loves her cousins, her friends, her grandparents, her pets and well everyone. He daddy went camping with Dane and didn’t take her (oh, the horror!), so the next night they camped out together in the basement. He gave her the choice of inside in the tent or outside in the tent and she chose inside (lucky for dad, since it was raining).

Toren is back in school and enjoying his basketball season. He is also a Wolf in Scouts. He had nice birthday and is hooked on his games: Lego Star Wars II and Star Wars Battlefront II. His baptism will be on Saturday, December 2nd at 5:30 pm in our stake building (same as always).

Dane is also back in school and enjoying Scouts. He received his Second Class, Tenderfoot and First Class Ranks a few weeks and ago and he’s spent the last three weekends working on merit badges. He’s in his schools choir and has his performance on December 11th at 2:30 and 7:00pm. He also has his D.A.R.E. graduation on Monday, November 20th.

Brigitta is working very hard in school. She’s enjoying her position in Student Council and that is also keeping her busy. She helped with the Halloween Dance. She is also enjoying her drama class and is looking forward to her birthday in January and the possibility of getting her learner’s permit.

Shawn is busy with Scouts and work and life. Kimberly is also busy with Scouts and work and carpooling and life in general. We are all looking forward to the holiday season and a little time off to enjoy more family time.

Love,

Shawn, Kimberly, Brigitta, Dane, Toren and Sorina
