Where has the summer gone?

I'm back. I figured it was probably about time to update our blog. This summer has gone so fast, but we have enjoyed every minute of it!!! The kids have gone to the zoo a couple of times, the monkeys are always putting on a show for us. We also got to take Paige & Kody to Lagoon, where they jumped from ride to ride with absolutely no fear. It was really fun to watch the excitement in their eyes each time they got on a ride. We have also been to Yellowstone & Island Park couple of times. You would think that maybe the kids would get sick of going through Yellowstone, but every time we go they are more excited to go. The only problem now is that Paige thinks that every time we go we have to come home with either a new stuff animal, a t-shirt, or something of that nature. We try to explore different areas of the park, we have even gone hiking a little bit (it is kind of hard with Dani, but she is wanting to be right there too). Dustin is still busy working, in fact this last month has been really hard for him. I think all the long hours are getting to him (about 80hrs/wk). But it pays the bills for now. I'm growing in Mary Kay and loving every minute of it. We (Dustin & I) are shooting to have a Mary Kay car by the end of the year!!! It will be a brand new Pontiac G6 in platinum. And also I'll be taking over the bills by then too!! I'll post some pictures of our adventures this summer and I'm going to make it a goal to post something every week even if it is a short hi we are still around. Have an awesome day!!!

Soaking up the Sun!!!

So the kids finally were able to enjoy the awesome weather that we have had over the last few days. While they were playing in the water I got some cute pictures and also got some sun which helped out my white legs and farmer tan arms.

It is suppose to be summer isn't it?

Hey, well as I look outside today and see all the clouds and the wind blowing through the trees it makes me a little depressed. I have been looking so forward to the summer, especially that means sending my kids outside!! But lately we have had weather in which we have all suffered with staying inside. But to get off that note. Everything is going great here. We are now in the process of hopefully finding a place of our own which will be nice to be under our own roof again. We really appreciate my parents for letting us stay with them. We will be renting at first for awhile and we are looking anywhere between Firth and Idaho Falls so if anyone knows any great places let us know. Mary Kay is doing awesome!!! I have gained a self-confidence and the money is a great bonus. I have met some many wonderful women that I'm grateful to say are my friends.
Since the last time I posted we went to Yellowstone National Park with the kids and had a great time. We stayed in Island Park and then just took one full day to drive around the park. The kids loved that they were able to be free in the back of the suburban and look from window to window at all the animals. For Dustin and me it was just fun to watch their reaction to all the sites that they were seeing. I will have pictures posted soon. As for now TTFN.

I really need to get better at this!!!

So I really have good intentions on writing on this blog at least every week but as you can see I have had some difficulties. Everything is pretty much the same in the our neck of the woods. Dustin is working, I'm watching kids and running my Mary Kay business, and well the kids they run us! Dani just turned one on April 6th and she was walking a couple of days before that. Now she is into everything and she can say please (in sign language). It has been pretty cool. My brother and his wife have been teaching their daughter sign language like please, thank you more, milk, and sorry. It makes it a lot easier to communicate with the little kids. As for Paige and Kody they are just normal very active kids. It has been really nice when the weather is good that I'm able to send them outside that they can use up some of their energy but it has never ran out.

Other than that we have been enjoying life and are planning on going on several road trips this summer. We start on Friday when we head to Logan and off to see one of my former roommates and good friend Ellen. The on the 14 we are headed down to Provo to see Chad off as he enters the MTC he is heading for Ventura, California. While we are down there we figured that we would take the kids to Hogle Zoo. That is what I'm excited about. That is just a few things that are going on and I will do better with keeping this blog updated. For TTFN.
