Here is a quixk update

So we all know that life, marriage and family is never perfect... I have been gone for so long I had almost forgotten that I started this thing... that was till my friend Tiff started blogging and I realized that I suck at doing this.

Anyhow - life has been busy. We have had a very busy summer and fall bit are welcoming the cooler air and fall season.

Family update: we are still here! Paul's work still has him in Lehi which is good for the home front in a lot of ways. Looks like sometime next spring he will probably move to Arizona for a few years. With the economy scare I think it may be best to stay in Eagle Mountain with the kids so that they have a stable home and I can keep my job for a while. I am still with the state trudging along... slowly.

Chandler has been doing so well in school - I am so darn proud of him! He is adding and subtracting triple digit numbers and is reading almost on level. He has been getting 100% on his spelling tests and simply has amazed me each day!. He started football late in the summer hence my reasoning for never being around. But he has done really well with that too. He plays defensive end and wide receiver positions so that has been pretty exciting and he has handled being in the group with the 21 other players just fine so far. But he misses play time since football takes up 3 nights a week after school then every Saturday morning.

Alexys has also been doing great in school - gosh I can't say enough how proud of my children I am. Alexys has been doing cheerleading for Chandler's football team in addition to her uncle Kam's football team - she has her two outfits and changes between them in between games since they are usually one after the other. She has got so much spirit! As almost always she is doing really great in school - straight A's so far. Little turkey has had to work of $60 to replace her lost cell phone though... she lost it Labor Day Weekend when we went camping at Lagoon for Chan's Birthday... but she only has $10 to go and she will be paid off and can have her new phone!! I know.. she is only almost 11... should she have a phone... but she has except this one time proven to be very responsible so why not. lol

Paul and I have had some rocky patches the last 18 months but have really grown a lot together which has been really nice.

Well.... off to football practice - will try to update and blog more often.
