2011

I am awful at posting... awful... and I'd blame it on my boys and husband, but really it's my fault for wanting nothing more than to play all day and have fun! I love my family! This year hasn't been quite exciting as some, but none the less, it has been a

good year and it's not quite over yet!

Chase started a new company with a friend of his and it loving it! The company's name is Pride Restorations- they specialize in flooding, any water damage really, fire, wind damage, mold removal- to be completely honest they can and will do just about anything. The company has been doing well, so well we don't get to see Chase a whole lot, but it's nice to know that he's out helping other people in their times of need.

I got to quit my job a few months ago and am really enjoying being able to stay at home all day with my boys. I'm not that great on keeping up with house work though, but I hope I can change that soon. (I really just don't like the repetition in cleaning the house... pick up Chase's socks, pick up boy's socks, clean dishes, do laundry.... pick up Chase's socks, pick up boy's socks, clean dishes, do laundry and so on.) My family is such a blessing to me though and I love taking care of them in every way I can.

Jackson just turned 4! I can't believe how old he is. He is such an awesome big brother and is super smart... He know all the letters of the alphabet and their sounds and just the other day he proved to me he knows his numbers now too! He has an awesome imagination and loves everything outdoors, especially helping his Dad work on the motorcycle and his little 4

wheeler.Time flies and I am enjoying watching this little boy grow into a handsome little man.

Clayton will be turning 2 in December and is a little mini Chase in every way. He loves his Dad so much and tries so hard to be like him. Clay is also finding his voice and it doing very well with talking... His favorite right now it saying "I toot!" or Jackson will tell him that he tooted and Clayton will say "ewwww, drosss" (hasn't quite got the G sound down, but it is dang cute!) Clayton has some crazy expressions and always trying to get you to smile and laugh.

This year we were able to go down to Moab with my family and enjoy some awesome riding and scenery! We had so much fun and the boys loved every minute!

Just a couple months ago we bought a 1986 motorhome that we named Gurtrud and we nicked named her the Durty Gurty. We got to take her down to the sandunes and give her a spin and came home with a broken harmonic balancer in the motor... Luckily it's a inexpensive fix. She's a blessing to have tho, and we have so far really enjoyed her hospitality. I'll add pics of her later when I up load them... she's a beauty!

We have had a lot of fun this year, but mostly have just tried to work hard to support and care for our family so that in future year we are able to play lots!
