We need to get with the times!

We finally decided to start a blog to keep friends and family updated (only if we update the blog of course). So here are our beginnings with this.

I am working a new shift and I LOVE it I work from 4am to 2pm Mon-Thur. Work is as busy as ever. I never seem to be able to catch up (especially on sleep now, but at least there is no traffic on the freeway at 3:30 in the morning).

Janae still likes working for her father as an office manager/surgical assistant.

Kacie (wow where do I begin with Kacie) I have a senior in High School and she is looking to attend Utah State next year. I have no idea where time went, I swore she was just born. She does a lot with her friends but is a big help for Janae and I as a chauffer driving kids around.

Tiffany, for a while now has surpassed her older sister in height and looks and everyone thinks she is the older one, which is to Kacie's dismay. But still Tiffany will have her license in the few months. (There is no way I can be this old).

Parker is still my little man in which we still do a lot together like last week he was off track and I took the week off work and we went swimming (a great story goes with this) we went on picnics, out to lunch almost everyday. We visited family, and Aunt Betty filled my mind and heart with all kinds of Disney stories from the past. Aunt Betty worked as a ink and paint girl and then as a final inspector for their films. She painted most of Tinker Bell that you see in the original Peter Pan. Needless to say this Disney Junkie couldn't get enough.

Alex and Payton are doing great, and have adjusted better than to be expected into our family. They sure have shown us courage and strength in dealing with their mothers death a year and half ago. Janae sure misses her sister but I am sure is happy to raise her children as her own.

Alex plays football for Bingham High and stands about 6"4' and weighs in around 235. Luckily I can still take him, but I'm afraid that won't be the case in about a year. His strength will finally out weigh my experience of being older.

Payton loves school, if it wasn't for some stupid math teacher who gave her an A- she would have had a 4.0 this quarter. (I told her she got her brains from her uncle, but then she said something like, Yeah Uncle Mike is quite smart huh?)

Payton and Tiffany are more than just cousins, more than just friends, they are more like true sisters than I've never seen before. They play, fight, work, share clothes, and makeup like I've never seen the likes of before. Luckily there is such an age difference that I don't need to worry about them taking each others boy friends at this time of their life. By the time that can happen (in their late teens/20's they should be out of the house)

Well we try to keep this blog updated as much as possible, but enjoy what little bit there is.
