What's new?
It's been a while since I've updated our blog. I am not very good at this am I? Michael and Brooke's reception turned out beautiful it was fun seeing friends we hadn't seen for a while.
Michael said they had a blast on their honeymoon cruise and mentioned to Brooke, " We need to send my parents on a cruise they would love it"...(yes we would) any vacation for that matter.
Amber and Devin have began their annual BYU home game trips, so we are looking forward to seeing them and Paige more often.
Kaycee is liking college so far. Dixie has had an increase in their student numbers this year, as I think alot of colleges have. So many people wanting to either finish their degrees, or get more education to increase not only their knowledge but their ability to earn more money.
Spencer is living in Las Vegas now, because of his job. I miss seeing him around here, and love it when he comes by- even for a short visit. We are still working on getting our bathroom done. It's been a slow process and I will be so glad when it's all done and the mess is cleaned up.
Kids are all doing fine, the school year is good so far. Riley is enjoying playing flag-football, skate-boarding,reading, and playing with his friends. Ashley is liking 7th grade, she really had fun at girls camp in July. Kaylee is enjoying school so far, and looking forward to being in a school play. Mike is working hard as always...( no rest for the weary)..he amazes me all the time.
I need to increase my earning potential now that the kids are getting older and in school all day. I think I may also look into college...Amanda is going to start " Hair School" or whatever you call it now a days..cosmetology and hair? She's really excited and I know she'll be great at it. I miss seeing my grand-kids and hopefully will be able to visit them soon. Till then, it's all good

The house is alot more quiet now, but I miss them anyway. Michael Jr. is married to a sweet gal Brooke. and we are thrilled. Their reception is coming up the end of August. Life is busy.

Riley's award
Riley brought home a letter from school. This is what it said:
Congratulations! In the past few weeks, we have received word that your son scored in the top 10% in the United States on the national Iowa Test. This is an outstanding accompishment. On Friday March 6th, 2009 your child will be receiving a special certificate from the Utah State Board of Education. We encourage your child to dress up for this award. So, Friday morning we went to the school where they had a nice program, and Riley got his certificate. The principal said that this was really a big deal, and that it's quite the recognition. So way to go Riley. I always knew he was a smarty.. I just love that boy.

Hiking with dad
While I was down in Arizona, Mike took the girls out hiking. They love getting out and taking the dogs with them. Here is a picture of Kaylee and Ashley with our two dogs Pepper, and Nacho.

Our dog Nacho
We have a dog named " Nacho", he is blind. Mike brought him home from Las Vegas last year when a lady who he had sold an insurance policy to,convinced him, that this dog would be a good friend to our kids. I wasn't too happy about it, and Mike said it would just be a trial bases, ( yeah right), knowing we'd all get attached to him in the two weeks trial period. I have to admit I like him too. He has a sweet personality and is really smart. He definately is a " special" dog. He thinks his job is following me around if I let him in the house, and when outside he loves to " herd" the kids around the yard. He also runs and leaps like a deer, it's really funny to see. Since he sheds I don't let him him the house much, and he really doesn't like being alone, so we now have a " friend" for him named Pepper. She is another Australian shepard, who Britt ( Mikes brother ) found for us. ( long story) well, dogs are fun, and the kids love taking them for walks, and hiking and teaching them tricks.
