What Weve Been Up To - updated Sept 10, 2009

Makayla just had a great summer! Lots of fun in the sun with family and friends, She had a Dance Camp, a Zoo Camp and swimming lessons most weeks.

Makayla alos started Kindergarten last week and so far so good, its a stuggle sometimes to get her to do her homework but shes learning lots and having fun, she even play teacher with Lincoln and Aden.

Jen is working very part time at a Yoga Studio (Yoga Mandala), and working on her Yoga "Practice" as they call it and has signed up to the Teachers Training Course which is a 8-9 month program.

Jon has had an interesting time this summer regarding employment, quit/was fired from the acct company he was at, then they called me back 2 months later begging me to go back, but 2 months of little to no income realy hurt. So things are on the mend. It also puched me to make a decision on getting started more seriously with Tom and Ryan in Cheques Direct. So i now spend 80% of my time there and only 20% of my time on the accounting company stuff.

From Christmas Until Now!

Well another month, (nearly two) has passed since I last posted.

 And so much has happened I will have a hard time remember it all. So perhaps Jen can update all that I missed when she reads this.

 Anyways, before Christmas MK had a school christmas party which was again pretty fun. Lots of singing, 8 different crafts and food! She did a great job singing as per usual and I think she is still the tallest or 2nd tallest child in her preschool.

Then Christmas can and went like a lightening bolt, there as lots of family in town.

Marc and Brooke and kids were in town for the christmas festivities, which is alwasy great!! we love it when they come up and play as we dont get down to Utah much at all anymore. We are still hoping they will move up here after they are done school, which may never happen!

MK had a great christmas as per usual, she is very much into Princess this and Princess that. And she is getting much better at using her imagination and playing with herself or her stuffed animals.

Then new years eve came, which was a really exciting time for our family and Patrick returned home from his 2 year mission in Arizona! It was great to re-connect again and Makayla pretty much wanted to hold his hand as often as she could get his attention. She certainly didnt forget him when he was gone.

 After new years Jen decided to through a little new years party for some of Makayla's friends, i cant remember but i think there were 7 or 8 or 9 kids under 4 running through the house. it was good fun!! I dont think I stuck around for it, but I cant remember.

 Then January can and went, we hung out with Dave and Cheryl Walker one night, and had dinner at their house and went toboganning. It was great. Dave thought it would be a good idea for him and me to ride down the hill on his GT snowracer together.. which we did, however the GT suffered major casualties. The legs just couldnt suport out combined wieght. And when i say combined, I mean it couldnt handle my weight!

Oh and at some point before or after christmas I cant remember we went with Marc and Brooke and kids and Allison and Joel to the Airdrie Lights Festival which was great fun. It was freezing. But MK and Aden got to ride on the train so all was well.

 Other than that lots of other stuf has happened to. not like i can remember though.

Ive been rather lazy with the camera to as of late.

Oh wait I remember, we now have a 3 legged dog!! I knew i was forgetting something.

If you want more details on why we have a 3 legged dog let me know.
