9 days to go....

I can't believe that it is almost Christmas. It seem like we just had Thanksgiving.

We celebrated Austin's 10Th Birthday a couple of weeks ago. He had his first friend party here at the house. They played Halo, ate pizza for lunch and then had cake and presents. He had so much fun even though only a few of his friends came. After his friend party we had the family party that night after we took him out to dinner. Most the family came over and he was so excited to have gotten a skateboard and Bagugon guys.

This past weekend we got together with all of Robert's brothers and sister and their family to celebrate the holidays, his dad was suppose to be there but called and said he was sick and wouldn't be able to join us. This was the first time that all the kids and their families have been together. It was a nice afternoon and all the kids (9 and 2 babies) played together and had a lot of fun playing guitar hero and rock bank on the X-box 360, plus Brian has a pool table and a couple of arcade games that the kids were able to play, which was nice because it kept them entertained so the adults could actually visit. It brought back alot of memories from growing up and how we would get together as a family and the kids would take over grandma's TV room and watch movies or MTV while the parents sat in the living room visiting.

I haven't sent out Christmas cards this year so I want to take a minute and wish all of you a wonderful and safe Holiday.

Vacation at last....

We survived the Thanksgiving holiday. It was a quiet day in our house. I cooked dinner and then we went over to some friends house for dessert. I had to work this last weekend because it was month end but I now have 5 days off. I will be preparing for Austin's 10Th Birthday and Christmas Shopping.

So it finally happen I received my first ticket ever...We were down in Spanish fork this weekend and I was pulled over for the plates being expired. the cop came to the window I was frantically searching for my driver's license which I thought I didn't have with but luckily I found it. I got the ticket for the expired plates and a warning for not having a valid insurance card in the van. Robert told me that I would get a ticket and he was right. I can't really complain since the cop could have given me a speeding ticket also because I was also going 10 over the speed limit but he was nice and didn't.

The Season to be Thankful...

I have updated our blog and I hope you enjoy the changes.

Halloween was fun for the kids. I had to work until about 10 that night so Robert go to enjoy the Trick or Treating with the kids for the first time in about 3 years. Austin was a Wrestler, Megan was Cinderella and Nikolai a pick crew member from the movie Cars. It is amazing how much the kids got from walking around the block once.

As we go into the month of November I am thinking how thankful I am for my Family and friends. The kids and Robert gives me great joy each day. I am amazed of how much they change each day and the fun little things that they do. I am blessed to have them in my life.

Haunted Trail....

So I took the kids to Murray Park tonight to do the Haunted trail that the Murray Park puts on every year. For a 1.50 you get a little fright and then a donut and hot coco. The kids were not impressed with the trail one bit. Nik scream and held on to me for dear life, Austin did not like it one bit and Megan made it through it but she was not impressed either. I don't think I have to worry about going next year.

Robert spent the month hunting every weekend for nothing but he had fun. I can not believe that October is almost over where does all the time go.

Where did the SUMMER go....

I can't believe it is almost October. Where has the time gone? School has been full swing for a month now. Austin is doing well, he enjoys his teacher and friends. He is completing his assignments this year and doing really well.
We went camping with Robert's dad, brother Paul and Marcus and there families and then his sister with the kids a couple of weeks ago. Everyone enjoyed the time away and with the fall leaving changing it was fun to see the mountain in full color. Megan went on her first hunting outing with dad (Mom is in trouble) she had fun and I think she is addicted. I am trying to get her to realize that if the boys are gone we can go shopping but it is not working to well.
The twin are growing and getting so big I can't believe that they are 4. They can recite there ABC and count up to 20 and they walk around the house all day sing any number of songs that they have learned from Daycare.
Work for me is good. My company is in a stable position with all the mortgage may ham that has been going on. We are not an origination shop we just service sub-prime loans which at this point is a benefit. We are going to be adding approximately 33,000 to our portfolio as of Oct 1. So that means lots of work for me.
