An update!

Well, I have been horrible about updating my blog... and for several weeks my camera was lost! Megan has taking a liking to it. The last time we found it in her toy box. This time it was under the bed.
We have been very busy! Tanner has competed in two soccer tournaments this summer. They took first place in the Cache Valley Cup and they just completed the Striker Cup in Layton. They tied another team to go the the finals. They missed breaking the tie by one goal so they did not end up playing in the finals. Landon has attended scout camp and spent many hours running around the neighborhood playing and causing trouble. Meg has done a lot of the same. Playing, playing and more playing.
Then there is Tank! I know many of you were shocked to hear that we have given the puppy thing another shot... and rightfully so! But we really spent a lot time thinking about that decision and we felt that we really could make it work. The kids have really been good in helping to take care of him. He has been a good puppy and tolerates the kids very well. With Brent being home it gave us a good chance to spend real time training him. We invested in a puppy training program and so far he is doing really well.
I am working full time at Alpine, and working on average a day to two at the wound clinic. I really enjoy the clinic, so it makes it easy to work the extra time.
Brent has applied for some grants and hopefully will be going back to school soon. We also continue to hope that one of the many many jobs he applies for every week will hire him.
Brent is going to coach Landon's flag foot ball team again this fall and they start to practice this week. He will also start back in the pool swimming with the gators tomorrow. Tanners fall season starts full swing this week also. As soon as he is done with his four times a week soccer season, He too will get back into the pool to swim. Megan will begin preschool on Sept 2nd. She is so excited. I have been thinking a lot. And although we will be very very busy with the boys and their schedules, And I have no Idea how I will pay for all of it. I would like to get Megan into dancing, or Ice Skating or something this fall.
So, Back to life... work... running... and being a Mom... The best job in the whole world!

Wow you sound really really busy! The kids probably enjoy having so many fun things to do! I really want my girls to try ice skating too. We have a indoor rink out here and I thought it would be fun for them. I hope everything works out for you guys and the job hunt!
