Wow! Has it really been that long since I have blogged? Sorry but life just got crazy around here, but I didn't realize it had been that long. So much has happened! Here are a few highlights.

In the past 3 months.........

*Jake broke his neck. He is much better now and luckily no permanent damage was done...that we know of. He is still working in the training room at school, trying to improve his grades and looking for a job.

*Zach moved out! I hate it!!!! He is on his own though, and doing great. We miss him like crazy but he seems to be happy and is still on task to graduate both High School and Seminary. We are proud of him for that!! He also bought a car and works a million hours a week.

*Mitch is taking drivers ed. and driving me crazy to drive everywhere! He is a good driver and is doing awesome. He has become quite the character around here and keeps us laughing. You can still find him in front of his xbox most days, but also has been fixing bikes for us outside. He is getting really good at it and I finally have my bike back. Thanks Mitch!

*Landon has built several things and if you are curious to know what you will have to come over because I don't want to list everything....it would take all day. He never stops. Now if I could just get him to build that box I need for the back yard! Lan also became the president of the Deacons Quorum. Soooo great!

*Tiana is busy being a girl. She has been planning prom, doing hair, church stuff, senior project, doing her online classes and still helps around the house. She is AMAZING! I refuse to let her move out and go to college!(I Wish!)

*David got a new job on top of his current job and now has started traveling again....everywhere. He is now the Global Director of Training or something like that, and will be gone again. It stinks, but it's because he is an amazing teacher and we are proud of him!!! He also got hit with a potato gun and got stitches in his chin. Good story so make sure and ask him to tell you! :)

*I planted my garden and put in tons more shrubs and flowers, and have taken on several more sewing projects! Maybe too many though...we'll see.

*I turned 39 and discovered I have gray hairs.

*I also still watch my niece Lacy and LOVE IT!! Mallory and Jason also just bought a house and are moved in and seem to love it!

*Our son Brad came home with his wonderful girlfriend Morgan. They were here for Easter and while he was here found out he got into BYUI!!! It's been so awesome to see him get to where he is and we are sooooo proud of him.

*Landon discovered several new ways of scaring me with his tree climbing, rope swinging, bike jumping stunts. I'm sure one of these days I am going to have a stroke watching him.

*Ryan(Our oldest) has moved, got a new job, gone to Denver for training and seems to be doing ok. I don't hear from him too much but he's been busy with all of the above! Miss you Ry!

*Sara is still a dork(And I mean that in the most loving way possible!) :) She is finishing school working her butt off and hopefully moving to the Tri-cities if I can convince her she needs too! I am having very little luck with that but I am determined to succeed.

Well, there you have it. Not too exciting, yet if you were here would understand my new gray hairs. I love being a mom and watching my kids, it's actually really fun and scary all at the same time. It's definately not boring right now and sleep have become a luxury again in my life, but it's all good. They just grow up way too fast. I loved having most of them home at Easter time. It was fun just to watch them be together and laugh. The picture above is all the kids that were here and their bargain sunglasses from Griggs! They had to all have matching of course!
