I cant understand why someone would walk up to our house a steal our lights right out of the ground! Come on they were only freakin 3 bucks a peice! You could have just knocked on the door and I would have givin you some money..Wow! Lily is down with the flu ..and Logan has a sinus infection..what next??

Nauvoo

The walls of the Liberty Jail.. The kids in the Jail , Lily in a bonnet from one of the missionaries, the Nauvoo temple ,

Utah

This is on our way from Florida to Utah we stayed the night in Nebraska and went to the zoo..there zoo is HUGEOOO! I use to take Amber and Erin there when they were baby's and stay all day, they loved it! They added a lot more like a big dessert dome and rain forest.


We had been looking at homes to buy when we knew we were moving to Utah.. There are so many for sale out here!! We found one in Lehi about 8 blocks from the home we are renting now so the kiddos don't have to change schools! We are finally staying put! Its a dream come true.

The home is a modest one. It was built in 1998 and it has been remodeled throughout. 6 bedrooms 3 full baths and a huge fenced back yard. It over looks the lake and the mountains. It is a block from the Junior high . I am so excited to actually get to paint whatever colors I want and buy things to decorate and not have to worry about packing up in a year.

We close on Oct 30th.

Bill is still in the ANG for Utah and loves his job. He plays softball 2 times a week and helps his brother Joey coach the 9 year old football team. Bill also made Master in 2007 that is a huge accomplishment and looks forward to making Senior in a couple of years. We have 8 more years in and he can retire. Bills goal is to make Chief so we have plenty of time.. see it goes like this Master , Senior, Chief.. this is the highest rank for enlisted. Awesome retirement! I am so proud of him for sticking to it and being such a great employee (soldier) he has some great people in his corner they have nothing but great things to say about him and request him by name when they want something done.


Im in Barbering school and I love it . Mr Hite has aked if I will stay and be an instructor for the school. I am thinking about it. I have been cutting hair for so long without the skills I am learning now and its really hard to break the habits I had on my own but its working and I'm so excited!! Bonn Losee taught me nothing about Barbering! I make about 27 dollars in tips a day and that helps with gas money.

Bill and Chris went to the BYU game this last week and had a blast! They won !!
Chris plays for the 9th grade city team and they just lost there game so they are out of the playoffs..he was bummed. But Basketball is starting in a month so he will perk back up.

The kids are growin up so fast!! Lets start with Amber..She is going to be 20 in 9 days. Her life has flashed before me!! I couldnt have asked for a better daughter. Always willing to help and willing to cheer up the kids and others around her. Amber lives in Utah without us!!! She is getting ready to start school in Jan to be an esthetician. (spa).

Erin ..This girl is a picture takin fool!! Erin is a seinor at Rutherford Highschool. Her singing abilitys are amazing!!

She turned 18 in July and I just think thats to fast for me and her dad to handle!!! She is not sure what she wants to do as far as college goes. Erin can read a 500 page book in one day! The books about the vampire people ...ya those!! Weiiird! Some dude named Edward??

Miss Ashley!!

This girl is my hero , she has been through alot in her lil life. Ashley will be 17 in Jan and can't wait to learn to drive!! Hhahhha No Way says me!!!

I let her drive me around in my 300 and I about died of a heart attack when we came about a foot from the mail boxes!~!! Ash wants to be a Special Ed teacher and this is her passion and already shows that she is capable of helping the children and having tons of patients. Im proud of her and will support her in her adventures on the way to becoming one!

Chris just turned 14 on the 14th of this month. Raiders is who he plays for and they are going to the playoffs in Dec.

Train(chris) has grown so fast the last year! 152 pounds and almost 6 foot. He is just like his dad when it comes to school very very smart!! He wants to play football for BYU and basketball too, we shall see what one he chooses! Ya he likes the ladys to but always puts sports first...thank goodness for me my heart cant take it!! Train still likes to cuddle with me and his pop and we love that! He is a great big brother and watches his sisters like a hawk.

Logan has changed alot in the last year , she is looking like a young woman way sooner then we would like!! Wow her confedence has sky rocketed since she started cheer. I would tell anyone to get your child doing something in sports to help them over come fears. Logy loves to dance and sing!! Sometimes i get her and erin mixed up when they are singing they sound the same. Logan is doing great in school! She misses her cousins ALOT! Logan is starting dance in Jan..she is really a mover and a shaker like her momma!!
