!!!!Good news!!!!

So some of you know Ben works for Target and is currently a (assistant store manager) or ETL as they say at Target. He had interviews on Monday for a Store manager position (STL as they say at Target).
HE PASSED....yeah for Ben. Way to go, I can't even describe how stressed out he was when he found out 4 weeks ago that he would be going to interview in Minneapolis, MN. Ben has been on pins and needles ever since. This last Monday he had 2, 30 minute interviews with Senior Target leaders and he felt like the first one went really well and the second one not as good. So he had no idea what to think. They also told him only 50% pass, and there were 40 people interviewing.
I posted some pictures of some of the studying/research he has done over the last 4 weeks, I messed up a few pics where he had his head on the desk just trying to soak it all in.


~Swim Lessons~


The kids started swimming lessons again, Alivia is in level 3 and Cooper in level 2 and Bauer is just playing.

I love swim lessons, it is one of the really weird things about me, that I love the smell of bleach/chlorine so I can sit next to the pool all day.


Last year Bauer had no interest in going in the water, this year on the other hand, he will sit at the edge and play, he actually splashes the people who walk past (watch out:) only when I am not looking:)

Ben was off Tuesday night, he actually was out of town in Minneapolis for an interview for Target, and was able to meet up with us after his flight got in, just having a little fun with the kids to blow off all of the stress he has been under.For those that are not familiar with the Lehi Legacy Center, they are laying in an area where a big huge tiki pot? fills with water and then tips over and splashes, it is really fun and these are the pics of them waiting and watching it tip over;)
