It's Official!!

Well today was a very sad day for me down here in the big city. I am now the latest carrier of a Utah drivers license and that precious pilot of mine is sporting ski utah plates. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse...They gave me the bill. Yikes!!! Being a Utard is going to take some getting use to. The girls and I went to Lagoon today. It was nice. I finally talked maddy into the Wicked. I could not believe it, so we are standing in line and I'm freaking out. Then the really cool guy with a messure stick comes and gives us the boot. Maddy was devastated, she was short about 1/4 in. Big bullies anyway. Kevin got slammed by a back hoe in his shoulder and head. As far as I can tell, no permanent damage. Just a new slight studder! J/K. He was very lucky. Well if anyone needs me this weekend, you can find me at the corn dog stand and the rodeo. Go Amy Go! Love you all, See ya

Hello all!! I just thought I would take a second and give a real quick update! I found a new sitter for Dylan. Her name is Miranda Hicks. I'm very excited about her. I feel real good about her, she will be great!! And she only has 3 kids including Dylan and one of them is hers!! So that will be super nice.
Sarah and I have been cleaning a house in Logan that some people were kicked out of.. it is gross! but we should finish it tonight! It has been fun chillin with Sarah every night! I think I could pick up a part time job cleaning! It pays well and Dylan can come with me.. so that is a bonus!
We went to Bear Lake this past weekend. Mom and Dad came along. As did Sarah and Nick and their two dogs! We had a very good time. I didn't take very many pictures, but I will post the ones I did take another time. I'm at work and my camera is home!!
We are all doing very well! We received a blessing from paying our tithing!! Matt was granted a grant for school for $5,000.00 that will pay for ALMOST this whole next year!! I love grants.. Well We love and miss you all! I hope we survive this weekend there are so many crazy carny's in town!
AMY!!!!! OMG it is corn dog time!! I can't wait!! Love ya!

Busy Busy Busy

Hello All,
We have been very busy. I started a new venture with my sister in law this weekend and I hope that it goes really well for me. She has been selling travel for about a year now and she was getting overwhelmed. She asked Shane and I (mostly me) to help her out with it. So I work all day at Overstock.com and then come home at night and work from home. With any luck I will be able to stay home and work doing this travel. If you want to check it out go to http://stores.ebay.com/Get-A-Vacation_W0QQsspagenameZMEQ3aFQ3aSTQQtZkm
This is the store that we post things on. There are a few vacations that I would like to take myself. Alaska isn't on the list but maybe if I keep at it I will be able to go there next summer. :) We keep adding things. I am pretty stoked about it.

Sorry it has been a day or two since I posted last. I hope everyone is doing great. I am not so sure about all this heat but fall is just around the corner and then dare I say it WINTER!

Amy you did a great job on your post. Your girls are so cute.

Gonna run to be now... Keep Smiling.... ~Amber

Hope this works!

Summer Fun!

Hey guys,

I'm hoping this works. As you all know, this year has been a doozy for us. Living in the big city has been a challenge. We have had a great summer though. Our yard is coming along and we have done many fun things. Kevin is always working but the girls and I are keeping busy. One of my goals is to become computer savy so thanks Amber. This is fun! Well keep us "posted" !

Pictures!

I was just thinking that I had some cute pictures of the family.. So I added them at the bottom of this blog. I know I have more on my camara and for some reason they are not on my computer here at work. I will add more when there is more time. Just thought I would add them quick while I had a second. ENJOY!!
