Seriously



Ok, everyone has been telling me that I "SERIOUSLY" need to update my blog... Actually I do have a bit of an excuse. Our basement, where our computer lives, has been an ongoing problem... It flooded in September, and I finally got it fixed and back in order just before Christmas, then the first of January it flooded again. We now have a lovely concrete floor that we are trying to figure out what to do with!





Seriously is my new favorite word... it can be used in so many wonderful ways! When Heather found this shirt for my online I seriously had to have it!



So whats been going on in my life for the last 6 months? Well I'll start with the kids. Heather and Tim are expecting a baby in August! We are excited about that and will be finding out if its a boy or a girl at the end of this month. Heather has a new job at the U hospital that she is enjoying, and should work out well for her even after the baby is born! Tim is busy with school, work and his Choir group. Marchele has decided that she doesn't want to be an engineer, pharmacist, or accountant, so for now she is just going to college to decide what she wants to be when she grows up... but that is okay. I still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up either! Marchele has also decide that she doesn't exactly love Logan and USU either. Next year she will be living in Provo with her best lifelong friend Alex, and going to UVU! Jason, or Clyde as he would prefer to be called, is really missing his sisters at home. So much so that he now tortures me the way he used to torture them. Have you ever played the cereal game with him? Loads of fun! He is working at Cold Stone a few nights a week... wish it was more! He is on the track team and spends a lot of time working out and chasing girls. If only he would spend a little more of his time on math and chemistry, we would have it made! Bryan is one of the stake athletic directors and spends his Thursday evenings and Saturdays running time clocks and keeping score for basketball games. Work is about the same for him, but a larger company is about to buy out Scott Machinery, so evidently there will be changes ahead-- hopefully they will be good ones rather than bad ones! Me-- well I have become a boot camp junkie and I am actually beginning to call myself a runner. I am even going to run a 1/2 marathon soon! Work is ya know... work. Business is pretty good, a little slower than last year at this time, but not too bad. I didn't do my usual trip to Dallas in January for Market because we had weddings and stuff conflicting this year. Besides, it's really hard to pick out Christmas in January so we decided to try a different market this year. I am leaving on Sunday to go to Vegas for a week! I am excited about this even though I haven't been to this market before at least it will be warm!

Heather & Tim are married! It was a wonderful day-- perfect in every way! And, boy am I glad it is over! It was a lot of fun along with a lot of stress and work... but definitely worth every bit of it! I am so grateful for out great families and friends and for all of the love, help and support that was shown to us on Heather's special day!

I have photos I want to post, but for some reason they won't upload.... (Marchele, I need help again!) In the mean time, check out Marcheles blog and facebook, she has some posted!

Today was Carters baby blessing

I can't believe how much he has grown already! He is such a sweet little spirit, and we love him already!

One week to go.... Heather is getting married on October 17! I can't believe it's possible! Seems like only yesterday that she was going to preschool, learning to ride a bike, and read and all that good stuff. If you still have little ones, savor the moments... life goes by so fast, and the older they get the faster it goes. I am so proud of Heather for the way she has handled the challenges in her life and for choices she has made to get to this point in her life!I love her so much!

Marchele is such a trooper! She had gallbladder surgery on Friday, but refused to miss Heathers bridal shower on Saturday, so she went... pain meds, ice packs and all! (What a great little sister!) We talked her into missing her Monday classes and then Heather and Tim took her back up to Logan Monday night. Monday she will get her staples out and hopefully she will be feeling pretty good after that!

Jason, or Clyde as he likes to be called is a little banged up too... he has been playing football with a broken hand and a pulled quad, but neither is slowing him down much. He is currently wearing his 3rd cast in a span of two and a half weeks---first own wasn't waterproof(a bad combination with football), second one was waterproof, but apparently not sturdy enough for football, because he broke the cast during his JV game last Thursday. Not to be sidelined, he taped it up and played the Varsity game Friday, then on Monday morning he got his third and hopefully final cast--- it will come of Friday for the wedding! Hopefully it's healed by then, if not then we will go for one more! He's been going to PT for his quad and we thought it was about better, but he re injured it yesterday in the JV game, and though he will be dressing for the game tonight, it's doubtful he will play... we will see.
