Summer Already?

Well time has flown by yet again and it is already summer!  The kids are out of school, Chuck and I are going to summer school and we are all ready looking forward to August!  Both Phoebe and Gavin will be in all day school and the girls will be in half day Head Start!  That only leaves little Monster to be watched half of the day!  Can anyone say, "Study Time in the Library"?  Chuck is still doing a BFA and I will graduate with my AS next Spring.  Still, I have to figure out what I want to do next Fall for my Bachelor's Degree, what do you guys think???  Any suggestions on what you think I would be good at?? There are no wrong answers.  ") ")
We just had Fourth of July and Phoebe's baptism and we had sooo much fun!  I can't believe that she is already eight!  Next thing you know she will be getting her drivers licence and asking for the keys to the car so she can go to the mall with her friends!  So not ready for that to happen!  Gavin is just looking forward to his birthday this year.  He has made some new friends this past year in school and he is really looking forward to his party!  The girls are looking more alike every day.  They act alike, have the same personality(which switches from one twin to the other, every other day), they have to do everything together, and what happens to one twin it happens to the other, whether it really did or not!  TWINS!  Monster is growing so big so fast!  He is 18 months and already has an attitude!  He knows what he wants and knows how to get it!  Of course both mom and dad let him have his way, most of the time, because he is just so dang cute!  ")  It is deffinately getting hot outside now and so we try to spend some time outside if we can.  Sometimes it is just to dang hot to even go out in the shade! I guess that we only have a month and a half to even worry about that and the kids will be back into school!  I hope that I can try and remember to post more now that it is summer and I have a little bit more free time.  Chat with you all soon!

New Year, New Things...

So, with this New Year, there are lots of things going on.  I am still going to school and so is Chuck.  The kids are getting bigger and getting older, as they should.  I still am a Scentsy consultant and still loving it!  I am trying to think of what I should get my Bachalors degree in though.  I don't want to get in over my head and go into something that I think will be to hard for me.  I do want to go into something that I will like and that will suit me, my family and my dreams.  So not sure what that will really be! 

I want to open it up to you guys.  You know me and what I like.  What do you think would suit me?  What should I do?  Tell me what degree I should go after and why?  I look forward to hearing from you, my true friends!  ")

Where does the time go???

So, as I was going through the calender and writing all the appointments down, and I realized that my little boy turns 1 next Saturday.  My oldest is turning 8 in June and she will get Baptized by her dad.  The twins will be 4 this year which means that they will go to Kindergarten in the fall of 2012(next year).  This year will be my 7 year wedding anniversary with my husband! I just can't believe that 2010 went by

Happy New Year!

Well the new year has arrived!  I thought I had more time than I did.  I didn't realize that time was flying by so fast!  I look back at 2010 and I try to think about what I did.  

I had a baby, I supported my husband with his decision to go back to college, I  continued working my Scentsy business and I decided that going back to college would be a good thing for me too! So I applied and was accepted into Utah Valley University.  I decided to go after my Bachalors in Fine Art with an emphasis in Ballet.  I realized that I didn't have to have thqat to open my own dance studio in Utah.  So I changed my major to University Studies, Which allows me to graduate with my Associates Degree in December 2011.  So I will do that then go on to get my Bachalors in something else.  I will take some business classes so that I can be ready to open the studio shortly after that.  I will hire some other dance teachers so that it is not just me at the studio all the time.  I want to be the owner and let it run its-self, sort of.  I will teach t least on class though.
Anyway, my kids are getting older and much bigger.  My youngest will be a year old on the 15th of this month.  It was just yesterday that my family was at the ultrasound finding out that we were having a boy.  That was one of the best days of my life.  Knowing that my wish had come true, that my last baby would be a boy.  I was so happy & you should have seen  the look on my husbands face, impossible to recapture even if I wanted to.  To learn that he was having another boy and not another girl, he was so happy.  Not that there is anything against girls, but after having twin girls, he was excited to be having a boy!  More testosterone in the house!  ")
My two oldest kids are in school together and they love it.  The twins can hardly wait to go to the 'big kids school'.  I can hardly wait either.  I love my kids but I like my mommy time too!  I'm sure that you all can agree with me.
With college now a real part of my life, I like to think that I have adjusted well.  It took me a little while to become used to the idea of school.  I now know what adjustments the family has to make so that the whole family can function on a day to day basis.  I am really ready to submit to the rigorous schedule so that my husband and I can have a better future with our family! I think that doors will open and we will be blessed so much beyond our dreams.
Faith and Hope go hand in hand.  That and prayers....  What dreams are made of!

Until next time...

Family Fun

So the family had lots of fun this weekend!  School got canceled for Chuck me on Friday so we decided to go camping. With about an hour to plan and get everything together and packed in the truck, we were on our way.  We headed for AF Canyon.  We found our spot and unpacked. The kids had soooo much fun.  We took the walker for Hyrum and he was completely happy watching everything around him.  Phoebe and Gavin were making new trails in the dirt and the girls were happily following Phoebe and Gavin.  ")  We let the kids all roast  hot dogs for dinner and ended the night roasting marshmallows for s'more's!  YUMMY!  I had a few myself!
We had lots of blankets for the night but I thought we could have used a few more!  But that is knowledge for next time!  We ended up staying a little bit later last night but did end up coming home.  There is lots to do to get ready for my moms visit on Wednesday.  So we all came home, had a shower, watched a movie and went to bed.  The kids did ask me today if we could set up the tent and have another camp out. Guess that is on the list to do more of next summer!  So can't wait, maybe I can!  ")
Well with the new week looming ahead of us, and knowing that we have company coming I guess that I should go and get so rest so that I can get things going in the morning!  I will fill you all in later about this weeks plans...
More to come

My first day...
