Quick update on the Family
On the move!
We are almost done moving the shop. It has been a real chore and a stress for Alan.
Jennifer and the kids have helped as much as possible but Dalton and Alan have done the majority of the work.
The new shop is great! We realized the other day that Alan has been doing mechanic work for 25 years now. We should party!
On the road!
Dalton is almost done with driver's education so he can get his license.
Majerle is doing well with her permit driving and is ready to take driver's ed as soon as mom signs her up.
Summer Fun!
We started out the season of camping at Zion's Park at Easter time with the Zundel grandparents.
May
Majerle went on the Hiker Tour to Escalante (backpacking trip with Highland Jr. High).
We spent some time down by Delta camping, four wheeling, and family reunioning on Memorial Day weekend
June
Majerle went to EFY at USU.
Dalton went to team basketball camp at USU and BLHS won the championship.
Dalton went to position basketball camp at USU.
Jennifer got a new camera so now maybe our blog will have more pictures.
Young women camp was next (Jennifer in charge; Majerle and Audrey attended)
Grandma Toombs had a grand party for her Birthday!
Josh (cousin/nephew) left on his mission to Arizona.
Carrson and Stephanie came home from Alabama for a couple of weeks!!
Kearl family reunion at Cedar Ridge
We were able to spend two weekends at Cedar and then we had youth conference to get ready for.

Dalton felt well enough (bearly!)to Bike The Bear (bicycle around Bear Lake) 7/11
Youth Conference is over (Jennifer in charge; Dalton and Majerle attended)

Springtime in the Wasatch
It is starting to be spring and we are ready!
Majerle has started playing softball with Ben Lomond High School. She made the freshmen team. She seems to enjoy it. Can't wait for that first game.
Audrey played basketball for the Highland Hikers on the JV team. She did great! She exhibits good ball handling skills and is just a bit crazy.
Dalton finished basketball with BLHS and has moved on to Track. He runs the 1 mile, 2 mile, Medley, and participates in the high jump. This is his first year high jumping and is doing quite well. His first meet was Wednesday, March 18th. He took first in the mile with a time of 4:51, first in the 2 mile with a 'slow' time of 10:47, and he took 3rd in the high jump clearing 5' 6"
His high jump was not his best because he had to do it immediately following the mile race and so his legs were not quite ready for jumping. For state competition he needs to run the mile in about 4:33 and the 2mile under 10. I believe he can do both of these. If he can run the mile in 4:20 I believe he can place at state; 4:17 or better and he can probably take first at state. If he wants to place in the 2mile he will have to shave his time to at least 9:40. They say 30 seconds is the time expected to improve in one season. If this is true the mile looks good and the 2mile will take a lot of work. The high jump is harder to tell because this is his first year attempting and he has only been working on it for about a week. He has to clear 6' to qualify for state; I think he is clearing around 5' 6"- 5' 8"? Don't know what to expect with this event.
Mom doesn't run, or play basketball or softball.
You are correct...again no pictures!

That's My Boy!!!
This was heard often from the Ben Lomond cheering section as Dalton Zundel's parents enjoyed the high fives from fellow parents and visiting young men leaders as they watched his fantastic performance during Friday night's game. Ben Lomond High School Boy's basketball team went up against Ogden High in this historic game. This is the last time these teams will meet each other in the old Ogden High Gym. Ogden's new athletic center is near completion and we can't wait for a more accomodating facility.
Ben Lomond came out sluggish and didn't engage truly until the end of the second quarter but more in the third quarter. They almost lost it all in the fourth quarter when they failed to hang on to a ten point lead. This game was not without a couple of poor calls but the Ben Lomond Fans were very pleased with the Zundel's ability to control their tempers. "It's hard to be nasty when your son's young men leaders are sitting in front of you" said Mrs. Zundel. "It was not worth the risk of another repremand from principal Smith, do you know how big he is? He's scary!" remarked Mr. Zundel of Ron Zundel Auto Repair, LLC.
Dalton Zundel had a great game tonight scoring 17 of the teams 45 points. It was a nail biter but Ben Lomond came out on top. Ogden 44 - Ben Lomond 45
Picture from Logan game. Check out who Dalton gaurds!

Oh the noise, noise, noise, noise!
Break out the Plaid!!
She's a wee bit loud and a wee bit offa tune but the Bonnie Lass is puttin all she's got into the bugger. (use your best Scottish accent)
Majerle has a way with the Schottish Highland tradition. Her parents are lookin forward to havin her improvin, however their not to keen on the cost of the old pipes.
Should make for a lively family reunion come summer!! Did I hear someone say Kilt?
Majerle is learning the bagpipes and she is the star student. It has a lot to do with the music experience she has had with piano and violin. Music seems to come easy to her. Anyway, she is the only student that can take her Chanter home because she is advanced. (4 lessons into the program)

Basketball Season - The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!!
Dalton is doing great!
To check out his stats go to maxpreps.com and search Ben Lomond High School. These are Varsity stats only and he did not play a ton of Varsity minutes in the first few games.
Big News!
He is starting Varsity Friday, Jan. 9th against Bear River High!!
We are so proud of him and his hard work to improve. His JV coach, Coach Doolin, says he wishes he had 12 more Daltons. He says Dalton is the most coachable player he has.
Go Scot's!

Halloween
I would probably post some pictures if I would remember to take them. I take my camera and forget to take the pictures. I remember to take the pictures and the camera is dead or I have forgotten to take the camera with me. I am sooooo thankful for family members who take pictures of my kids.
Halloween as usual was very busy with class parties, school costume parade, costumes for the kids. I am thankful that Dalton and Majerle did not request dressing up. Reagan and Audrey wore the poodle skirts I made for them, Jackson (bless his heart) agreed to wear his football uniform, and I made Kennedey a candy corn costume.
Kennedey's class party was great. (glad it is over) When we got home from school we all took a nap and Ken woke with a horrible fever. She missed trick or treating but was too sick to care.
Half of the family spent the weekend sick. Some more sick than others. I believe Reagan just wants to be home with everyone else.
I plan on updating the blog when I get a minute but now is not that minute.
