Today was perfect...

Today was a great day. We started off by running some erronds and the kids were awesome and we got everything done. We went to the store and picked out some veggies to plant in our garden. Then we worked out side all morning, moving flowers and dirt to where we really want it all. Then the kids took a great nap. Once they woke up we ate icecream on the front steps together and then i finally took down the Christmas lights. After that we played outside as the weather was perfect. Played in the dirt some more and then went and got dinner at sonic with a gift card that i am sure is a year old. then we went over to Amanda and Noah's and the kids had a blast at the creek throwing rocks into the very high river and getting really muddy. We then brought them home and threw them in the bath. They went to bed like champs and then some of our neighbor boys door bell ditched us. They do it all the time and tonight i decided that i was going to scare them to death. So the second time the came i had my shoes on and i chased them down. Before the night was over they brought me a candy bar and they had screamed like girls. I hid in my neighbors bushes for the last time they came, they wernt expecting that. It was a lof of fun. Then i got back in and Isabelle called for me. I went in there and asked her what she needed and she told me that her feet had escaped. I asked her what she ment and then she pointed to her feet not being under the covers. I really think she was still asleep at the point. So i covered them back up and she went right back to bed.

Micah is talking a lot more lately but refuses to say dad. He will say mom and look and ball and all kinds of things just not dad. He is int he dog house for that.

All in all it was a great day.

Dont give up on me

I know that it has been long time since i have posted anything here and i have decided to get back to writing. I tried out facebook for a bit and decided that i didn't really like that but it did help me find a lot of friends that i haven't heard from in a long time. I will try to post some new things in here every couple of days until i get caught up on all the important things that are going on in my live. So don't give up on me yet.

Family Pictures

Here are some pictures from a recent family photo shoot that we got to do. The photographer needed some more demo pictures so she offered to take our pictures for free if we would let her use them for her website. So of coarse we said yes. I think they turned out amazing. I will try to get copies to the grandparents and then if anyone else would like some i can email you some. Just let me know which ones. Also if you want the girls name and number that did the pictures i would love to help her out and she did an amazing job... our kids are not the easiest to work with!!!

Georgia here I come...

Well after a few postponements we have gotten the official word that the business trip to Georgia is a go. I am excited as this is what my new job is all about. It is kind of a bad time to go as Koren is sick so taking care of the kids is 100 times harder. They say that the first few days we will be working 18+ hour days so not much time to call and check in on her. Hopefully there will be some breaks during the day. I will let you know how it all goes.

Milking a Cow

So sometime in middle school or there abouts i made a list of things that i wanted to do before i died, a bucket list you could say. And on that list was to milk a cow. I don't know why but it was on there so i wanted to do it. One of the people i work with at my new job happens to have an aunt that own a dairy farm in Springville. So a few weeks ago we all went and milked some cows. Isabelle loved to play with the baby cows that would suck on her hands (and Micah's feet) and she really wanted to play with the big cows but she scared them. We had a lot of fun and i got to check one of my easy goals off the list. I think the great wall of china is next, or maybe scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef.

California Work Trip

Well i know i havnt posted in a long time so i will try to make up for that. I did get to go to Orange County for two weeks for work training. It was really good. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun too. I got to go fishing, Surfing, see the mission at San Juan Capistrano, and of coarse eat tons of really good food.

Water Babies

We it is that fun time of year again when my water babies come out. Isabelle has always loved the water and we are excited to see if Micah shares that love. This year we were able to take Isabelle to swimming lessons for 2-3 years olds. She loved it so much and did so good that the teacher said that she could come to the 4 year old class later this year if she wanted. She was the only one that wasn't afraid at all to go under water or put her face in the water. The instructor did say that with a child that small with no fear at all we really need to get her learning to swim fast so she doesn't jump in a pool and not know what to do. She she is getting better and getting on her back when she is in the water. We also made one trip to 7 peaks and that was a lot of fun. We stayed for about 2 hours and that was enough with 2 little kids. I am glad that is all we stayed because as i got home i realized that i forgot my sunscreen and so my shoulders are fried. Micah seemed to love the water too. Both the kids and i played in the water while Koren sat on dry ground the whole time because she said it was way to cold to get in. It was a lot of fun and i can't wait for Lake Powell this year.
