Hi all! Well, school is back in session! Anissa is enjoying her new school and making new friends. She is lucky this year the bus stops right across the street in the mornings and drops her off at the front door in the afternoon so she doesn't have to go far to get on it! Will be nice in the winter to be able to wait indoors until the bus comes. She is also back to dance and enjoying that too. Had ballet workshops all last week and this week they have a guest choreographer that is teaching them some new "hip-hop" stuff. She really enjoys it and is having fun. Drew started at USU this week. He has done okay so far other than trying to figure out where to park! That is a dilemma we all share as students who drive. He is still working so he is staying busy! School is going okay for me. I have on class on campus M,W, & Fri and then have one on Wednesday nights at Bridgerland so between that and working two jobs I'm staying plenty busy!!! Jeff is just working and picking up after me since I'm on the run so much!

Daniel and Leslie are doing fine. Both are still working. Lily is cute as ever and getting bigger everyday! She is quite the little ham. Not much else new to report just wanted to say hello. Hope that all is well with everyone and their families haven't heard much from anyone so assuming things are okay.

Have a great day and I will write again soon!!!

Hello everyone. Just an update on our family. Things are going well for us. Anissa started school this week and is liking it so far. She hasn't gotten lost yet and has remembered her locker combo so things are good! She started dance again this week has workshops this week and next week and then regular dance so she is staying busy. She was pretty sore after the first day though! Out of shape over the summer but won't take long to get back into the groove.

Andrew is doing good. He starts at USU on Monday morning bright and early. He is excited but I think a bit nervous too. Work is going well for him also.

Daniel and Leslie are doing fine. They are going to stay with us for couple of months so it will be interesting! They are trying to buy a house and need to save up a bit of money for a down payment so they are going to stay with us for a few months so that they can get a house of their own. Will be tight quarters for everyone but only temporary and it will help them out so I think it will be fine. Lily is great! She is talking so much it's crazy. She is like a little tape recorder and repeats everything she hears. She is still attached at my hip most of the time but I don't mind she is a sweet heart and I love her to death!

Jeff is doing good. Staying really busy at work. They let one of the techs go so he's been a bit more busy the last week or so. I'm good too. Start class on Monday at USU also so back to the hectic life for another few months! I'm excited but a bit stressed. Almost done so that I can apply to nursing school so just keep pushing myself so that I can get it done! Work has been extremely busy for me also but it has been good I really love my job.

Well, that's all for now. Hope that all is well with everyone else. We miss you all and love you. I will write again later.

Family Slideshow

Hey everyone! I added a slideshow of the family with some pics of everyone just scroll down to the bottom of the page to watch!!! Enjoy!

Lagoon!!

Good morning everyone. Just a note on what's new in our world. The boys had their Lagoon day from work yesterday and were able to get tickets for everyone so we all spent the day at Lagoon yesterday. It was lot's of fun and we all had a good time. It was really hot though!!!! Lily wasn't sure what to think but she rode quite a few rides and had a good time. We rode all the new rides and roller coasters and had a blast. We all got pretty wet on RattleSnake Rapids but it felt good cause is was so hot!

Not much else is new. Kids are all doing great! Jeff and I are fine. Had a little mishap on Friday went up the canyon (Smithfield) looking for some rock for the flower beds and took a tumble! What can I say, I'm graceful!!! I landed on my leg pretty hard. I cut it (not bad enough for stitches) down the front pretty good. It has also swelled up pretty bad around it and can't stand to have anything even touch the skin it is so sore. Went in a couple of days ago and had one of the docs look at it, he said probaby a nasty hemotoma and should start to go down if not need to go in and get it xrayed. Been really painful yesterday and today and swollen clear down into my ankle so will have to keep an eye on it.

Well, hope that all is well with everyone. Have a great day and I will write more later!

Hi Everyone! Just thought I'd write a quick update on everyone. I've also included a slide show of the family from the summer it is at the bottom of the blog! Everyone is doing great here. Kids are getting ready to head back to school in a couple of weeks. Anissa has been babysitting all week so she is staying busy have to go and register her this week at North Cache! She is pretty excited and a bit nervous about going to a new school but I'm sure she will be fine. She has made some new friends here and I think she will be fine. Andrew is all registered at USU and will start (along with his old Mother) on the 25th of August. I think that he is pretty excited. He will stay pretty busy as he is taking 12 credits and still going to keep working! He will have class every morning and then will work after school. I think he will do great! He just bought himself his first vehicle. He got a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo. He is pretty excited since he was able to get it all on his own!!!!

Daniel and Leslie are doing good. Both working hard. They are still keeping their eyes open for a house they would like to get out of their apartment and into a house. They both stay pretty busy with work and Lily! Lily is great! She is getting bigger and bigger everyday and she is talking like crazy!!! She just started this last week talking in sentences now and she never stops!!!! She is a good baby and we all love her to pieces.

Jeff and I are doing good. Working hard and trying to keep up with the kids. School will be starting soon and my life will get hectic again but I will be that much closer to my goal!! Jeff is great and very supportive and helps out tons around the house and with the kids so that I can do what I do.

Other than that not much new here for us. We are loving the new house and still trying to adjust to everything. The neighbors have all been great and things are going good. Finally got rid of the weeds and have a yard now! It is coming together nicely.

Well, better run have a busy day. We love you all and appreciate all that you do for us. Have a great day and I will write again soon!!!
