FINALLY!!!!!....

Well hello everyone,
I (ann) am going to attempt to update the last two months or so. You probably will already know a lot of this stuff but at least I am blogging again!!! and will know longer feel the guilt and loss of many hours of sleep worrying about this blogging thing..HA! HA!! :-)
Where to begin.. the last two months have actually been quite busy for our little family. Work for mike has been going very well but also very busy, he still really likes his job and actually has been given a great opportunity within UHB. His boss approached him about renewing his contractors license and getting paid to do a lot of the finished carpentry on there homes that they build and he would get paid however much he charges them along with his regular salary as a superintendent overseeing the constuction of the homes. He has just started doing this the last month and has found that he really likes to do more hands on aspect of these homes, it is busier for him but he is doing a great job and it is a good opportunity to branch out in the construction field. Mike has also been excited because he finally got a four wheeler of his own..we actually did not have to even buy it. A guy that wants Mike to hang some doors in his new home gave him the four wheeler as a payment (a perk of construction side jobs..I guess) Mike was thrilled about it..he also had to buy the girls a little four wheeler (with cute pink helmets of course) for them to ride when we go out and ride ours..and the girls love it. Sydney is the only one that drives it but she loves it and ashley enjoys riding behind while garrett looks on screaming with excitement. So when you all come out this summer we will have to take them out and ride them. He also relished in taking the girls to the Monster Truck rally a few saturdays ago..the girls absolutely loved it!! (mullets and all)
I have just been really busy with the kids..It is amazing how much busier it has gotten since garrett has gotten older and busier himself. Young Womans has been keeping me busy but I really love the calling and enjoy working in that organization. I wish that I had some great stories to tell that I have been doing but I cannot think of anything at the moment. I did go down to St. George this last weekend with mom (marisa, lindsey, amy) you were missed. But we had a good time going to the home show and shopping, seeing movies and just hanging out without having to load and unload kids from the car.
Sydney is having a great time in school. She is getting so big and is so cute and fun. When I went to her parent teacher conference her teacher said she is one of the top students and is reading well and is liked by everybody. She will turn 7 next saturday which I cannot believe.
Ashley is enjoying preschool and dance and playing with her friend brielle. She is so funny and loves to tell it like it is and will say whatever comes to her head..Out of the mouth of babes..I will have to start writing things down and put them on the blog because I am laughing at least once a day at something she has said.
Garrett is 18 months now and we are so glad to see him go to nursery (just so we can actually go to sunday school) he is starting to talk so much and is sooo happy all the time and he loves to see grandma and grandpa a.k.a mom and dad. He saids nydney and ashey and everytime sydney goes to school he has to go to the door and give her a kiss and say bye, 3 or 4 times.
Well I am going to sign off of this blog..and next time I will get some new pictures up so that you can see the kids ( when we post pictures on our blog they don't go where we want them to) so we will be fixing it soon!!!
We love you all!!
