Update of the Family

Tom will be leaving for Army Basic Training on Sept 22nd. Really not looking forward to it. At least he got the field he wanted. He's gonna be in the medical field and I'm excited for him to go back to school. He really likes it. It'll just suck with him gone and I'm really curious where he will get stationed after all his training.

I am still doing home daycare and am keeping very busy. I'm glad I'll have all the kids to distract me while Tom is away.

Alex is going into 4th grade this year. He just got back from spending the summer in San Diego visiting his bio Dad and his family. He had a good time.

Logan is starting Kindergarten this year and will be in the afternoon with the same teacher Alycyn had last year. I think he's getting really nervous cause he is on a emotional roller coaster. oh my goodness. He had an appointment at the Shriner's Hospital in Salt Lake City. I love it there. He used to go there every couple months when we lived in Phoenix for his scoliosis. We transferred to a closer place when we moved to Washington and I really didn't care for them so I just transferred him back. The appointment was August 27th and his back measured at 36 deg. Not too bad but worst than it has been for a few years. So we are waiting till we can schedule an appointment to go get another cast put on him and they will make a mold for a new brace at the same time.

Eric is getting huge and WILD!!! He is growing too fast. Told Tom we needed another cause he's not a baby anymore but he didn't go for it. LOL Eric is such a climber and he is I think the most active right now. He is just so curious about everything. It's great.

Uuummmm I think that's about it. Everyone is doing great and excited about our new life with the Army. Well see how it goes. :)

Trip to Salt Lake City

Kind of a long post. Wanted to get lots of pictures in here but narrowed it down to these. :) I had so much fun visiting with friends I haden't seen in way too long. It was great to see everyone.

Sidney and Katie... Like mother, like Daughter :) They both liked the air mattress LOL


Kirsten and me. I hadn't seen her in like 6 or 7 years.

A long day at the zoo. We were there for a whole 3 hours maybe. LOL They are gonna get married.

Eric is being a gentleman and pulling Sidney in the wagon. That's Brayden on the right (Katie's oldest).


Logan and Sidney at the water fountain

Look at how cute katie is.

Emily and daughter number 2. I"m so jealous I don't even have one. :) Samantha is such a chunk it's awsome. Just like Alex was.

Our tour guide, Logan. Kept insisting we go to the penguins (how do you spell that?)

This is such a blackmail picture. I love it.

At the park near Katie's house. We had been learning about Dinosaurs with the daycare so that's one of the first things he went to. LOL

Katie's house had a peach tree and this isn't even half of them. We also got a few apples, zuccini, cucumbers, squash, and everything else was not ready. She has such a green thumb. :)
