Beth Goes To The Senior Ball

Saturday 4-18-09 was Snow Canyon High Schools Senior Ball. Amanda was asked by a boy by the name of Jorey Clark. She left that morning for a day date and I didn't get to see her until she arrived back at the house later that afternoon after getting her hair put up by our good friend Mary Anaya. She looked very pretty. But as she emerged from her room all made up, gown and all, I couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. Todd was out trucking so we had to send him text pictures. It was probably good that he was gone because I don't think he would have let her out of the house. She sure is growing up to be a beautiful young lady. I am very proud of her. We are almost to the end of her Junior year...man, where has the time gone??? What happened to the little two year old that played like she was a princess, participating in little beauty pageants? Now she is heading off to the Ball looking better then Cinderella herself! I love you Beth!

Kevins First 4-Wheeler Ride!

Friday April 10th, Todd was getting the 4-Wheelers loaded for him and Sammy to go for a ride at the Lower Sand Coves where Kent and Sam were camping with their girls. I was tending Kevin and we watched as Todd was getting the machines on the trailer. I set him up on Todd's machine and let me tell you, it wasn't easy getting him off of it after Todd putted up the road a 100 yards or so. He was just a bouncing and a giggling. Look out Uncle Todd because as soon as he walks, you won't be able to leave his sight!

Easter Sunday

I haven't been the best at keeping with my news years resolution, but when I made it I was not 100% sure that I was going to be getting back into school. It is really keeping me busy. Between my school work, chasing Sammy around to her activities, work, and keeping up with the house, I am finding that I am lucky to get the required things accomplished each day and still alot spills over to the next. I know it will all be worth it in the end, but until then it is kicking my butt! Todd says if I wasn't so OCD it would be a little easier, but I like the house a certain way and I find that I put alot more effort into it then he and the kids. Key word I need to learn here I guess is RELAX! So anyways, I am doing really good which is encouraging. If I do good on my finals (which I don't think will be a problem) I will have an in A in both classes that I am taking. A good start on fixing my GPA that I thrashed 18 years ago! I am enrolled in the Summer Simester and have my little math tutor Sammy all lined up to help me. How humbling is it to have your 13 year old know more about Algebra then you? The grils are doing great right now, they are still adjusting to not having me at home all the time for them like I was, but they tell me they are proud of me and they are always excited to hear how I scored on my papers and tests. I asked them if they will be paying me for my good grades like we do for them, they didn't think so!!! Well we are going to be having a little BBQ this afternoon for Easter so I hope to get some fun pictures that I can post. We are having it a little later in the afternoon because Todd headed out at about 2 am to haul a load of fuel to the mine. I am so thankful for such a wonderful man. Things have been slow with our business, but he is not afraid to go out and scrounge up whatever he can to make a paycheck. So far so good. I am just ever so thankful that we have been able to stay on top of things, we aren't getting ahead any, but we haven't fallen behind either! Love to all!
