Sorry Mom

We went up to the parents house this evening to drop off a couple of things that we had borrowed as kids are known to do and show them our new member of the family and one of the first things that was said was why we haven't updated the blog in a while. So here you go Mom-

The last couple of weeks have been very busy at home, work and school so I apologize for not updating as regular as I should.

Anyway her is a quick update of the crazy family-

Boo has had a soccer tournement this week so she has had three games in the last three days. The team one the first game and then lost the last two. Boo got a ball in the nose and smacked her elbow hard and is feeling the three games worth of impacts. She did good, played hard and I hope had fun. Someday I will learn to take pictures and be able to post more on the blog. Boo also got her first cello last weekend. We had promised her when school got out that we would find her a cello and we finally succeeded so we hope to hear great things from her.

D has been busy at work. His new position requires him to be at work a lot more and we have not seen a lot of him this summer. There have been stretches when he has worked fourteen days straight. It makes it hard to spend time as a family but we do try to squish in some stuff. He is a great soccer dad and has not missed any of Boo's games so far.

I have been crazy. This statistics class wrapped up last night. It has been a long six weeks with lots of homework and hours spent trying to figure out formulas. It is a tough way to learn stats and I do not reccommend it. To compress five months worth of learning into six weeks with no face to face interaction makes it especially challenging. I did very well in the class and I am very glad to see it done. Next class is accounting and finance and that is almost as hard so we will keep our fingers crossed for the next six weeks to go smoothly.

Here is Izzy in our destroyed back yard. We finally got our air conditioning fixed (yeah) it has been a long couple of weeks in our too hot house. The new cement looks great and we are enjoying the additional parking. Of course our backyard now looks like they are testing missles in it as it is all tore up and full of big piles of dirt. The neighbors overwater their lawns so much that my backyard is a swamp and we will not be able to do anything until they quit watering for the year. Oh well at least we can sit on our new patio and look at the piles of dirt and dream of grass.

At my work they do employee appreciation days and have some activities for the employees and their families. They rent out the local surf and swim and let the employees and their families have a swim night. They have a golf tournement for those who golf and they have a bbq dinner at the fair. We always have fun at these activities and the kids look forward to the swimming and the fair every year. It has made for a busy week. Tomorrow we have Coke Lagoon day so the kids are very excited to spend the day riding rides and getting sick.

I am so bad at pictures and I should be better at taking fun shots of the kids. I do have a few from our recent trip to Idaho falls -

Here is our tiny hotel room -

here is the kids at the falls-

I would show you more but I can not get the pictures to flip the right way -

I will update more later hopefully with some better pictures.
