Finally a Post

I think I get to involved with facebook and forget to blog.

Oh where to start? I was so upset when school started, because it seemed we had no summer. Now here we are and it is FALL, which I LOVE, but wish we still had a few more weeks of summer.

Now, with the kids back in school and I have a lot of time to myself, I am glad school has started. Kamy and I spend our days doing. . . not a lot of anything. She goes to Grandma Louise's (the one she walks to, that is how I know what Grandma she wants to see. The one she walks to or the one she drives to.) And then on Wednesday's and Friday's my mom watches her while I go play volleyball. I am so lucky to have my Mom and Dad around. They help me out a lot with my kids!

Melany gets home about an hour before the other kids. It is nice to have that time with her to do homework or talk. We love being together.

Aubry just finished playing softball. She had fun, but not sure if it was fun enough to do it again. But, she is so excited for volleyball. I can't believe the change in this girls looks, she gets more and more pretty everyday.

Jordan is finally adjusting to high school life. It seems so strange that he is a freshman! I love watching him and Derek together. I hope they are good and kind to one another when they are in public together. BOYS! I love them! NO DRAMA!

So much has happened in Derek's life. He decided to buy a 1977 truck. He drove it only a couple of weeks and the transmission went out. The guy we bought it from was so nice and said he would do some trade work to help fix it, and Uncle Keith helped put it in. He drove it for 2 days and the starter went out. So he and Shea replaced that. They thought they put it in wrong cause it still wouldn't work. Come to find out the starter was faulty! Go figure. Got a new one put in and he drove for 2 days and the engine blew! Not kidding! So through it all Derek has only had to pay about $50.00. He was thinking how grateful he was for that and decided he would bare his testimony about gratitude and told the story of his truck. Well, after the meeting was over Brother Savage in our ward came up to Derek and asked about his truck, what kind, what year. Brother Savage said I want to give you my old truck for parts. I think Derek just about fell over. So now we have Scott (Brother Savage's truck) and Cheyenne (Derek's truck) all torn up changing out the engines. So when it is fixed he will drive it for 2 days and something else will happen!

Some good has come out of it. I asked Derek why he thought this was happening. He said "I have thought about that a lot, I think I am being taught patients." ( which he as very little of but has tried so hard to have.)

As for Tiffany she is good and loving life. Busy working and playing! We miss her.

As for Shea, well I feel so lucky to have him in my life. He makes my world safe! I couldn't have a better best friend! He is the one that said I better post something on our blog. I wish he would post something!

I think that is about it for now! I will try to do better, but don't hold your breath!
