Hunter's First Day of School

Hunter started sixth grade today at ACYI (intermediate school). Hunter has Barbara Baugh for his core teacher. I was excited about that, and he said she is GREAT!

He said his math teacher, Mrs. Nelson, is not so nice. But I'm sure it was just a bad first impression. Over all, he said things went great.

Our News

Well I have been slowly working on getting my family blog updated, so if you want the real updates and pictures you should just check there. But here are a few tidbits off the Ipad for your enjoyment. 

Kaden found this teddy bear and made it his new bed buddy. I think this will be the perfect picture to display at his wedding.

We have been starting a work out program here in St. George. Addi is mastering pull ups.

And Chris is using Addi to get some sweet ab work outs in.

Notice Taycee's pure look of glee at Chris's pain. haha. Actually we were all laughing because the entire time Addi was saying "weeee"

I really wanted to get a video of Addi saying a few of her new words because she talks so stinkin cute. BUT the two's have hit in full force and she pretty much has a melt down any time I ask her to do ANYTHING. Which is equally annoying as it is funny. She was sitting on the chair acting so cute repeating all my words and saying all her animal sounds. I pulled out the Ipad to record and she went from cute Addi to attitude Addi in .05 seconds. Proof is below.

Chris landed in Richmond VA about 1 minute ago according to his itinerary. He will now be picked up by a driver who said he would be holding a sign that says "(The name of the company which we still can't disclose), CLAYTON" which must mean he is pretty big time because I have only seen that in the movies. And in case you are wondering it is true, they have sworn us to secrecy on the name of their company until we accept a job offer. Strange? I agree. Maybe they are secretly with the NSA and they are working on some super charged bomb weapon. Wouldn't that be exciting.

ANYWHO... he starts his 9 hour day (that's right folks 9 HOURS!) of interviews at 8:00 am tomorrow morning. Which is 6:00 am here, so keep a small prayer in your heart for him tomorrow... that is a lot of interviews.

Brielle is starting to coo. It is probably the cutest sound on the planet. She is especially fond of her daddy's voice and will stop to stare when he talks. Then she coo's back.

Poor Ayla

Here are a few photos from my phone lately.

Ayla is sad cause she is constipated and teething and has a stuffy nose. I would be sad too if I were her.

Backyard Progress

Dad's been working on the back yard.  Here's the progress... Cement edging and white vinyl to fill in gaps in the fence. Bark comes next.

Dang Deer

So the deer have discovered our garden since the fence is partway down. Here's a pic of some beets and beans totally demolished.

New Drum Set

So Dad finally got his wish (after winning a bet) and purchased a digital drum set. He's happy! And I'm happy cuz he can plug in earphones and I can't hear a thing! Now the deal is he can't surf the KSL ads for a month. I guess he'll spend that time drumming! :)

So as you can see the desk is gone. Anyone want it?

Education Week

My friends Tina, Sherrie and I went to Education Week for a couple of days.  We're much smarter now.

I learned that blogging is a good thing.  So Heather is helping me do this.  Thanks Heather!
