ST.George trip

On June 8th the girls and I drove down to St. George to see Jeremy, Jealin and Beck. We stayed for a whole week! It was way fun and relaxing. We went swimming almost every day (not fun shoving myself into a swimsuit) but it felt so nice to float around and feel weightless for a few hours. We also went out to eat, alot (my favorite part). My favorite was the pizza factory, I love their fettuccine alfredo.....sooooo good! We even got to go to the new IN and OUT. I was so excited! I used to love to eat there when we lived in California. But I have to say I was not too impressed with this one, apparently they are doing something different with their fries and they were skinny little dry things. Nothing at all like I remember. The burger was decent though. But we had a blast and the girls had a great time following Beck around...he is soooooooo dang cute. We wish Jer and Jealin would move back cuz we sure miss them!

first post on my own

Well, here goes... my first attempt to blog all by myself. Big thanx to Jealin for helping me set up everything!!! But now I am back home and on my own. So here is an update on my little family. Mark was working as a superintendent for Sierra Homes Construction. But he could no longer tolerate his boss's (jerk of the world) lies and empty promises. Those of you who know his old boss know what I am talking about. Can't say enough about what a jerk he was and how thankful we are to be rid of him!!!! Mark is now working with our neighbor Paul (again doing construction) and he couldn't be happier. I got bored just staying at home all day while my kids were in school so I got a job at Old Navy. (Love the discount!!!!) I only work about 6-10 hours a week. It's perfect I love it! It gets me out of the house a few hours a week, I get a great discount on all the clothes and make a little money too. What more could I ask for. Baylie our oldest daughter is 13! Can you believe it?? I swear I'm not old enough to have a 13 year old. She will be in 8th grade when school starts up again. She has become the favorite babysitter in the neighborhood and spends lots of time doing that. She also makes a ton of money doing it... I don't remember making that kind of money when I was a teenager (which was just a few years ago :) ). Kylie is 9... whew time flies. She will be in 4th grade and loves school. She's got quite the personality and likes to try and make us laugh. And now some exciting news..... I'm pregnant!!!! after nine years Mark and I decided someone was missing. Our little BOY is due October 9th. Mark is so excited to get a little boy he can hardly stand it. He is still having a hard time believing that it is a boy, he is worried that a certain part of the baby's anatomy will fall off sometime in the next 3 months and we will have a girl instead. Silly Mark! Well that's all for now! I'll try to keep my posts current even though I still am not quite sure how to do all this technical blogging stuff.
