Wow I can do this

Can you believe that I hacked into this blog. I saw a email that my wife sent me about this blog. it has not been updated for who knows how long. So, here it is.
My kids are still alive and sucking me dry. they want this and want that and I give in.
April is still working part time and enjoying life, she cant wait to get the kids back into school.
For me, I'm working at Summit Medical in Salt Lake and enjoying life. I'm getting grey'er and older.
I will try to update this more often with simply updates. this can be my facebook and I don't have to read what other people are doing just put dumb stuff up that I do. this is great...

So, I am not good at keeping up!!

I guess I have proved that I am not very good at keeping up on the blog. I am going to try and do better. We are headed to Disneyland on Saturday so stay tuned for that report.

Even big kids have fun at the zoo

On Saturday we decided to go to the zoo. I wasn't sure the kids were going to like the idea, but all three were excited and thought it was a great idea. We spent several hours looking at all the animals and having a fun time together. We even got to see the bird show that we have never been able to catch before. Cassidy Bentley, a friend of ours went with us. We all had a fun family day. I have always said that our kids are monkeys. I now have the proof.

Braces!!!!

I thought I would share with everyone Tanner and Kaylee's cute new smiles.

Boating fun

Last Saturday we went boating at Deer Creek Reservoir. It was a nice change to have clear, clean water. We have spent most of the summer boating on Utah lake which is not the clearest water, but still tons of fun. Those of you who have been know what I am talking about. We had a lot of fun. Austin and Tanner both worked on part of thier Watersport and Moterboat merit badges. Austin wakeboarded, Tanner skied and Kaylee kneeboarded and tried to ski. After the
water got choppy they went for a ride in our friends 4 man tube.



Ok, I know the water doesn't look that great in some of these pictures. It was better on the other side of the lake where it is deeper. We were on the more shallow end with less boats around us.

Let's give it a try!

Ok, it seems like everybody theses days are blogging, so I guess we will give it a try. Hopefully this will keep everyone updated on what it happening in our part of the world. We all know how bad I am at keeping in touch ( Christmas cards in July ring a bell). I may even try to take a few pictures to share.

In January we were able to travel with Marko on a business trip to Florida. We did the whole Walt Disney World thing. We had a lot of fun. Disney World is huge. We all decided that we liked Disney Land better because everything is so much closer.

We bought a boat last fall and have spent most of the summer weekends on the lake. It has been a lot of fun. Most of the time we go to Utah Lake because it is the closest. We spent 4 days a Yuba lake in June. The kids are getting really good at all the water toys. All three of them knee board and can do a 180. They have also all gotten up on skis. We had to do a little convincing with Tanner and Kaylee, but they had fun once they tried. Austin was able to get up on the Wakeboard on his first try, and we haven't been able to get him off since. Marko loves to whip them around on the tubes and watch them fly. Marko also does a great job on the wakeboard. I tried and could not get up. I did get up on the ski's though. Both Marko and I enjoy watching the kids have fun. It has been great family time.

April

I am still working for Continental Airlines. I am heading into my 16th year. As long as we can survive the fuel crunch, I think I will be there forever. I am currently working two 10 hour days. The days are long but the 5 days off are worth it.

Last fall I started to build my own business. It has been a slow process. I don't always find the time that I need to work on it more. It is called Inspirations In Vinyl. It is vinyl lettering for home decor, crafts and vehicles. It is a lot of fun. I am hoping to set up a blog with some of my stuff so watch for more on that.

I am the Relief Society President for our ward. This keeps me busy. Luckily I have an amazing Presidency that keeps me in line and helps me out.
