These are pictures from our Family Reunion this summer at Granite Campground in Jackson, WY. Beware, no makeup or hair has been done in any of these pictures, hence we were camping, so watch at your own risk!

Our Fun Family Reunion!

My DaRliNg little kids, nieces and nephews...

At our Family reunion this year, we went to Granite Campround in Jackson, Wy. We had a GREAT time! All the kids under 12 got to ride a fake bull at the Jackson County fair. So cute! I have lots of pics to post from it, but beware... No makeup or hair was done while camping, so some pics might be dangerous to the human eye so look at your own risk!

I am soooo behind!

I have so much i want to post, but don't want to sit that long to get it done. Lets see, where to start... Dave has been home for a month now and we are loving it! He started his job 2 weeks ago back at the site. He is also going to school full time online through Thomas Edison State College. They have a Radiation Protection degree that he can apply a bunch of Radiation work towards and eventually be a Radcon Engineer. The school thing has really put a damper on our fun time with him though and that is hard for us cuz we love to have fun! Right now Dave is taking English, Political Science, and Spanish. Its a load of 9 credits every 12 weeks. Pretty intense but I am so proud of him!
Summer is already wearing me out. Kids had swimming lessons the last two weeks every day. Cory has soccer camp next week and then Alaina turns 5 next Friday! I can't believe it, my baby is too old! We are still hoping to add to our family, but so far, I guess the timing hasn't aligned with Heavenly Father's plans for us yet. We So want another baby! We will be doing as much camping as we possibly can this summer. Dave works a 4/10 shift and has fri-sun off so we hope to camp as much as we can. Anyway, i have a bunch of pics to post sometime, but right now, i have got to go supervise Cory mowing the lawn...

Adorable Dancing Alaina!

Alaina loves dance and this is her second year. She turns 5 this June and starts Kindergarten this fall. Holy Cow the kids are growing up fast! Cory will be in 2nd grade this fall. We miss you Daddy!

Ok, what a crazy last week this has been...

So you know how Dave was supposed to be in Brazil until June? Well, to make a long story short, Bartlett lied a bunch about many of the things they promised to the workers, so when Dave got there, he was pretty disgusted. He swears he will never do another job for them without a contract. Anyway, because of the lack in honesty by his recruiters, Dave came home last week and stayed for several days and left today to go back to work in South Carolina where he worked last fall. One of the biggest problems with Brazil was when he got there, the job was half done because it took them so long to get the visa's and they knew if they told the employees that, they wouldn't come. So they were going to start laying off in two more weeks, which means Dave would have only been there 5 weeks instead of the 4 months they promised. Anyway, just another example of how our life takes crazy turns constantly, but he is happy he got in to the outage back east and pray for us, cuz he applied for a job out at the site that starts this summer. We so want a normal life again. WE are so SICK of telling each other "Goodbye". He should be back the first of June. He did, however enjoy his 3 weeks in Brazil and learned a good bit of Portugese which he is enjoying trying out on his Portugese speaking friends! He defintly has a gift for languages! Not me...

Wow it's been a long time since I posted!

Well, Dave finally got off to Brazil 2 weeks ago. He is having an ok time there. He is not getting to enjoy the beautiful beaches and weather much cuz he is working so much and has no car to get anywhere. But he did get his 2nd sunburn ever... Last year he got his first in Florida. Poor baby. I have only had like a thousand and my freckles prove it! We miss him lots but are staying busy. Alaina is in dance and loving it. She is also going to preschool 3 days a week. Cory is in 1st grade and is doing very good. He is really starting to great with his reading and math. He starts soccer for his 4th season this spring. I am going to start selling Lia Sofia jewelry and I am excited about that. Not a whole lot to update for now, so when i have some new news, i will report...
