Well. we just got back from our vacation. We also are done with the wedding, California reception and the house repairs. Grandpa broke his foot while in California and that was a sad complicaton.

We are trying to get Drew and his new wife Dani out the door in a trailer with all of their wedding presents, Grandma and Grandpa and hand me down furniture. They are trying to buy a car today also and get the loan and etc. We have been so busy that we almost forgot school started today for Alex. Weird. The last few months have seemed to run together. I have not even noticed that I do not have a job anymore. What would I do if I did. I would not have made it. I think it is surprising how Heavenly Father knows our situation and blesses us although we always do not realized those blessings right away.

THREE MONTHS AND COUNTING....

Well, finally, guilt has got to me. Here are a few highlights (I hope) of the pictures I have downloaded. I want a cut custom blog, any helps....

Here is a visual of our past few months, highlights of course. (Basically when we could remember to take and use the camera, have the it charged with the memory card not completely full.)

WE ARE BACK (I HOPE)

Today reaches a milestone for me. I am determined to keep our blog up-to-date. No longer will the very few people who read this blog wonder what we are up to. On with the pictures and what's been happening.

Baylie and Alex's wishes

Baylie wants two dogs. Alex just wants one dog. However, they both want animals and both are not getting them. Bay wants two dogs named "Braid" and one "Sucker." This just tickles me.

2007-2008 School Year

Alex has found a new companion this year for school. Long gone are the days of video games, IM, etc. New are Word Perfect, calculator and etc. He finally has reached at his old age of 15 the test to see if he has the ability to do REAL homework. This year is his challenge where in the past he has been able to do minimum work for maximum grades. No longer living the dream world of a teenager. Books, piano, books, and more graph paper........ahhh...... He actually does his homework on the computer and sends it directly to his teachers at school.
This baffles me, and I tell him to save a hard draft and take it in hand just in case he gets in the classroom and for some reason the computer system failed. Totally new technology for me. They do all kinds of graphing and etc, they send directly. Then when he goes to school the next day, it eleminates a paper trail. But, it would worry me......

Tyler and Lanece

Just one beautiful day......

Newport Beach Injury

This was Drew at Newport Beach after he sprained his ankle running to catch a wave. He hit hard. We thought it was broken and spent the evening in the emergency room at Hoag Hospital waiting for x-rays. After three hours we found out it was a bad sprain, came out with crutches and a ankle boot. Expensive night in Newport Beach.
