A Day in the Life of the Armstrongs!

Well to give a brief summary of our family members comings and goings:


Stan: Is an Insurance Agent when he's not waterskiing or barefooting at lucky peak, camping at Redfish Lake, skiing at Bogus Basin, spending time with the wife, or supporting his kids in their many ventures. On the side he is participating in the Idaho Republican Party, and increasing his already impressive photoshop talents!

Michelle: Is very much invested in her highly stressful, low paying, hardly appreciated, full time job as mother of our family. But she loves it! (right mom!) She is also in pursuit of her fourth degree, a Masters in Marriage and Family Counseling from NNU. When she has free time, which of course is not often, she plays tennis, has her nose in one of her many books, or most recently, with some encouragement from her children decided spending time with friends is good! Yay mom.


Brad: Is 21, and almost home from a two year mission in Bucharest, Romania! He'll arrive in Boise on September 3rd. He will be attending school at Boise State University for at least a semester and then wants to move to Utah. He is an incredible Jazz pianist, who is finally enjoying the fruits of my mothers 19 years of constant prodding to practice. After two years away, he's ready to hit the slopes and meet the ladies!



Scott: Is 20, and has just passed his 6 month mark in Somoa. He was recently transferred to American Somoa from Apia and we think he's doing well. It's kind of hard to tell because he only writes us a few sentences each week. Before leaving on his mission, he spent his senior year cheerleading (who would've thought) and finishing his wrestling season undefeated, with over 200 career wins, a school record in takedowns, and two state championships under his belt. He worked most summers landscaping to keep up his huge biceps!, and wakeboarding. Last summer he finally mastered a backflip, a 360, and some other stuff with strange names! Anyway he was getting good!

Kyrstin: Is 18, and a sophmore at Boise State University, trying to finish up her Associates in Science so she can transfer to BYU. She spends most of her time working as a developmental therapist and a piano teacher. She loves her work, and any other time she has she spends studying, volunteering with BBBS, dancing and hanging out with her crazy brothers who constantly keep her on her toes! She also loves singing, and snow and water skiing. After this next semester she will be heading to Kiev, Ukraine to spend a semester teaching English in an Elementary School.

Justin: Turned 16 this year and is loving the the disgusting amount of attention he gets from the ladies. He has gorgeous blue eyes, a very endearing smile when you catch it, and a great sense of humor. He's a junior at Borah High School where he is the clown of the wrestling team, and the star of the tennis team. He is an awesome tennis player! He likes to spin and flip on snow ski's and when he's not doing any of the above, he loves to torment the rest of the family.

Jason: Is 14, and loving the fact that he will be in 9th grade, top of the class at a brand new Junior High School. He is not loving the new uniforms however, and let the idaho statesman know how he felt! Jason is the braniac of the family, an excellent student and an avid reader. Last year we uncovered his gift for writing. His stories will blow your mind! He is also a talented Tennis player and runner and will be one to watch in the next few year.

Riley: Is 12, and the baby of the family though he hates to be reminded of it. He's a smart little cookie as well. He got a pass to the Discovery Center for his birthday and has discovered a knack for wiring electrical circuits in record time. He is multi-talented and has dabbled in tennis, swimming, drawing, singing, and dancing lessons. Riley is a social butterfly, and is always asking for a friend to come over. He's very excited to start Junior High this year where you 'get lots of teachers and not just one bad one!'
