It has been a while!

So it has been a while since I have done any updates on the family so here it goes!

Dad is doing well. He is still working hard everyday. On the days that he is not working in the oil field he is working here at the house or going and buying stuff needed to work here at the house! He is trying to fix the house to get it prepared for someone to live here, I am not going to mention any names though! He works in the garden as well but so far this year we are not having a productive garden. Most of the things have had to be replanted because it died so a fortune has been spent on the stuff to plant. We will see what happens! He goes to church when it works out for his days off to do so and that is about all!

Jonathan has acquired himself another toy, side by side! He has been fixing one up and is excited though he won't say it out loud! He is still working out in the oil field as well and complains about having so many wells to check and that they continue to add new one's to his run! He works on his stuff when he is off work for his 6 days every other week. Not to much changes with him!

Nathan is still looking for a job but in the mean time is working around the house still doing stuff for dad to earn a lap top computer that Dad bought for him. He goes and helps Tim Cook a lot as well since he is trying to get his house fixed since he just had a baby boy with his girlfriend. Nathan is still living out in his trailer but bought a little motorcycle from Jonathan and rides it everywhere! At least he is having fun!

David is home! He is back from his tech training and is talking about doing a couple of months of active duty work out at Hill Air Force Base. He would live there for a couple of months. He is waiting to hear back from a man there about when that would take place. He and Miranda are still together and recently celebrated the first year anniversary together. He doesn't get to see her much so he enjoys all the time that he is able to get! He recently bought a mini bunny and has named it Shelly after the movie House Bunny since he is keeping it in the house! Get it, house bunny!! I think it is funny! He is buying a truck from dad in trade for his fierro that he bought from Jonathan and also some money.

Samuel is a high school graduate and has just been swore in to the air force. He is in the reserves as well and I guess is getting excited. He will leave sometime after the first of August for basic training. He helps out in the garden but does not have any other job as of this point. He enjoys playing a game on the computer with Adrian called War of Warcraft.

Kevin is the same as always. He goes to work and comes home. He eats and goes to bed. His interaction with Rebecca is increasing but not by a lot. We just had a family picture taken last week so it will be nice to get it updated on here when we get them. He didn't smile for the picture though so that kind of sucks a little.

Adrian is back in Iraq having been home for a couple of weeks. We went to Texas for 6 days while he was here and then when we were home before he left had a full schedule. We went to Vernal and he helped watch Rebecca and Amy's kids while Amy, Kalen, Dad, and myself went to the temple. We went to Lagoon, had a family reunion, and he finally got to see Temple Square at night time! He is getting a promotion there in Iraq so he has a special security badge! He is not excited about being back in Iraq but is scheduled to go back to Germany at the end of December and then he will get to come home for an entire month!

Ashley is Ashley! She helps some with Rebecca though a lot of times she gets frustrated when I ask for help. She says that she doesn't but everyone sees it! She will be a senior this year and she has mixed emotions about it. She is happy for it but I think that the reasons for the unhappiness is because of the real world facing her at the end of the year. We have gotten all of her school cloths so she is set minus whatever is needed for the school supplies. She just turned 17 on the 7Th of this month so she is constantly saying that she is old! To be 17 again...

Rebecca is getting so big! A month ago she was weighing in at 14lbs 2ounces. She is wearing size 2 diapers but they are swallowing her! She is on solid foods a lot now and enjoys everything but green beans! She has learned to sit up on her own and is trying to skip crawling all together and go strait to walking! She also has her first tooth. I haven't got a picture of it yet because every time I try she covers it with her tongue! She road on her first rides when we went to Lagoon and seemed to like them! She is still in the size 0-3 month cloths but getting very close to 3 month! I have tried her in 3-6 month sizes but they fall off of her literally! She had a shower with me the other day and thought it was the greatest thing! I don't think I will ever get her back to baths! She is getting closer and closer to the year mark since she is 8 and a half months now! Where did all that time go!?! She is still a Mommy's girl and has "helped" in the garden a couple of times!

I am still loving being a mommy! I do the same stuff all the time like cleaning and cooking and laundry. I have been trying to work out in the garden but Rebecca makes it very difficult to do anything. I will be starting to work out soon so that I can be in shape for when Rebecca turns 1 and we start trying for another baby! Nothing to much changes with me!

I will try to keep more updates better posted in the future and soon I will just have a picture post! It is hard with Rebecca to get anything done!!

Happy Birthday Amy and Melissa!

So yesterday was Melissa's birthday and she is getting older!!! She is now a whole 28 years old! I know I talked to you yesterday but happy birthday again!! I hope you enjoy your short road trip and enjoy the dog!!

Today is Amy's birthday! She is somewhere traveling heading back to Michigan so I am sure that she is having the best birthday ever!! Happy birthday Amy!
