Meet the newest member of the Family!!!

We'd like to introduce you to Chase. He is our new puppy. He is a Shih-tzu/maltese mix, 2 month old and still try to figure out what happened to his mom and dad. The kids are so in love with him they will not leave him alone for 2 minutes. We have been thinking of getting a puppy for quite some time and I have see him on KSL.Com for a few days so we finally called and went and looked at him.

Ok here goes nothing. In response to Crista's Challenge.

1. What were you doing 10 years ago?
Robert and I were living in an apartment saying we truly needed to find a home as we really didn't want to have to pay taxes since we had no exemption at the time. In April of 1998 we moved into our first home and found out we were expecting Austin at the end of 1998. I was working at Crossland Mortgage as a Payoff Specialist and also had a second job at 3 Day blinds Selling Blinds.
2. What were you doing five years ago?
2002??? I was just finishing my first year working at Fairbanks Capital (now known as Select Portfolio Servicing) as a cashier specializing in Research and correction of missing mortgage payments. Robert was finally recovering from a hunting accident (he had fallen out of the back of a pick up truck in August of 2001 and broke his leg which required surgery to try to fix it and then he end up with a total knee replacement in april of 2002) that resulted in a year off of work. Austin was potty training and growing like a weed.
3. What were you doing a year ago.
Sitting at home hoping everyone that was in Hawaii was enjoying the sun and Christie and Bretts Wedding and that they survive the earthquake. Working at Select Portfolio crazy amount of hours and getting ready to take on the roll as team lead for cashiering.

GIDDY UP PONY.....

So the twins have completed their first month at daycare and they are loving it. The daycare had a pony come and they gave the kid rides and then dressed them up like little cowgirl's and cowboy's and took the picture. The kid had a lot of fun and enjoy the pony. As Christie said there is no mistaken that the kids are Dennis'.

Megan is almost fully potty trained so she has moved up to the 3 year old class at school. Nikolai is still not showing with a lot of interest so he is still in the 2 year old class but we are still working with him, since Megan is not happy that her brother is not in class with her.

Austin has began the cub scout and is currently working to earn his wold by the end of the year so that he can start working on the bear. I finally had to sign him up with a group that meets ever Wednesday night over at the Lutheran church across from the Taylorsville rec center. Our ward seems to not have enough boys to have a cub scout troop. He is excited.

Megan and Nik Visit the Dentist

This is a picture of Megan after she was done eat chicken wings the other night.

Friday, Megan and Nikolai had there first dentist appointment. Megan cooperated and did everything with no problem, X-rays, teeth cleaning, fluoride treatment and even let the dentist count all 20 of her teeth. She was perfect and came out with a clean bill of health NO CAVITIES. Nik on the other had was going to play at all so we were lucky that the dentist got a quick look with out traumatizing him to bad.

School has start. Austin is now in the 3rd grade making new friends which is always fun. Megan and Nikolai started daycare at the beginning of the month and they love going each day to play with their new friends. Robert's mom is serving a in-service mission at the Genealogy Library. She gave a talk on Sunday and asked us to attend so here are picture of the kids ready to go to church. They were very good during the meeting which really shocked me since they have not gone to many place in which they needed to sit and be reverant. Megan and Nik were so cute they sat on the church bench with their arms folded and they "read" the hymn books.

SPS Summer BBQ

On Saturday August 4th my company summer party was held at triple D Ranch in Herriman. they had a lot of fun activities for the kids. Pony rides, petting zoo, jump arounds and hay rides. It was a fun afternoon for all.

Dennis Family Connection

So, since the live space is to difficult for people to view I have decided to set up a blog. Hopefully this works and keeps every up to speed on the happening in the Dennis and Curtis families.

Summer is almost over and it has been extremely hot here in Utah. The kids are growing like weeds.

Marissa is going to be 11 in August and starting the 6th grade. She will be doing safety patrol this year. I can't believe it. She has enjoyed several camps this summer with Girl Scout and her Dad.

Austin is 8. He will be entering into the 3 rd grade. he has also enjoyed camping this summer with the family. He like riding his bike and playing with his friends. He is also looking forward to the opportunity to take hunter safety this year so he can do the small game hunts with his dad (laws changed).

The twins turned 3 last month and keep us very busy. What Megan doesn't think of Nikolai does. Megan is going to be a tom boy and princess all in one. She already talks about going hunting and shopping. Nikolai is all boy. He is rough, tough and trouble. he has not fear about things and will give anyone the run for there money.

Little Addy is a few month. She looks alot like her dad at time but also has her unique personality and looks. she has been visiting with her mom for a few weeks so it has been fun to see her and interact as we will not see her much once she goes home.

All of us parent are doing good, Dad is adding on tot he deck at his house. OK, so Brett is actually doing the work.
