Yes, we are still here.

There has been lots going on but no time to post anything on the blog until now. A few weeks ago Shay got to go "pig hunting" with his Dad and Uncle Travis down south. They left on a Thurs. night after work and would return home on Sunday with a truck full of wild pigs right? Well, they returned home with a truck full of Mountain Dews, Coke and munchies.......maybe some of those munchies had the ingredients made from pig......just looking for the positive! Even though no pigs were hurt on this wild adventure....they all had a great time looking for pigs, or any signs of them, and hiking around. Each night they rested their heads on soft pillows at the hotel nearby. They enjoyed good dinners and a night out to the movies seeing "Valkyre". Darrick said the best thing about the whole weekend was getting out of the cold for a few days, and getting to wear shorts! We are glad they got a weekend to be boys!
Naomi, Nate, Grandma B, and I decided to take the opportunity to drive to Vegas to see my family. I had to wait until Fri. to leave because of a personal training client of mine who had made an appt. to meet early that morning. And of course.....she was a "no show" which is frustrating when you schedule a trip around someone else, but oh well, we took off later that morning and made it in before dinner time. It was a quick weekend (so sorry to all of you who live there, that I didn't call) but a great weekend to see my family. It went all to quickly.
The kids are all doing great in school. Naomi received a National award in Science (she ranked in the top ten in this area of testing). We are so proud of her accomplishments. She also held a 4.0 in both terms this school year. Again....she gets her smarts from her Dad! Shay and Nate both have passed spelling tests with 100% this school year. Yeah boys!
We feel blessed to still have work, but we are seeing a slow down. I have taken a job at a gym where I teach a couple of classes a week and doing some personal training. I hope to get more clients.
We have been busy with dentist appts. (Shay), loose & finally pulled out baby teeth (Nate), basketball games, dance practices, meetings, meetings, baby showers, meetings, seeing pictures and video of Steve and Brenda's cruise (yes, we're jealous :-), helping out at the school, super bowl eating, and busy, so very busy Saturdays!
We have enjoyed the warm up as of late and seeing the snow melt away. We live in a beautiful valley and appreciate all that surrounds us.
