To Ben.
Hockey season and indoor volleyball league started tonight.
So my DVR will now be filled with Hockey and the night filled with volleyball.
I will get some secret snapshots of Ben watching hockey, it sadly is one of his most favorite things in life.
He cheers for the Vancouver Canucks. He schedules his life around the games. So all those wives out there, that have a husband that hunts, or is addicted to sports like Ben, let me know when you want to go out to dinner, I don't have any plans for a while:)
The latest about his job, he is in the waiting game now. There was a Target store open here in American Fork, but they already filled it with female STL from AZ.
He was supposed to go to Provo when it opened in July of 09, but because of the economy and the slow down in retail sales, they pushed it back to July 10'.
The only next possibility would be West Valley, they (Ben's Boss's Boss) seem to think it will be built before Provo. And another possibility is West Jordan on Redwood Rd. That STL is trying to go to Colorado.
So that is about it, we really don't have any idea is the bottom line....
The kids are all doing great.
Alivia is doing really well in kindergarten and her teacher seems to appreciate her REALLY enthusiastic outlook on life.
Cooper is doing really good too, he loves to go to pre-school. He is becoming more independent, wants to always walk down to his friends house down the street and play. He new favorite thing is to take off his shirt and be Tarzan....yeah.....sorry to all the mothers out there trying to teach their children modesty:)
Bauer, is so funny. He is always trying to be the comedian around here and is so loving and sweet. He is the child that always says thank you and your welcome with out being reminded.
He REALLY loves to watch movies with Livi and Cooper and likes to play with his neighbor friend Gentry.
Kessler, is now in the stage where everything has to be out of his reach, if it is of any value.
Kessler also loves FOOD, he will try anything and seems to like most of it. He is getting big so fast it is almost depressing how fast they grow up.
I love watching the kids play and try to compress the memories in my brain so I will never forget what it was like when they were little.
Which reminds me of Pres. Monsons talk about "Enjoy the Journey". I appreciated that so much and hope that I will continue to enjoy the journey and enjoy every stage, all the fingerprints, all the toys and dirty clothes. Even though it all goes by way too fast.
My mom just got back from Italy and she had a blast. I want to post some of her photos, they are amazing for a non-skilled photographer. She flew on my benefits and made every flight she wanted to and even got first class from Rome to New York a 9.5 hour flight. NICE!!!!!
My kids missed their Grandma, and we are so glad she is back safe and sound.....
So this month is going to be a busy one, swim lessons start again and I am the one of the room mothers for Livi's class. So I am in charge of the Halloween party, what a fun one to plan. And I will also be planning the Halloween party for our ward, WHICH SHOULD BE A BLAST:) so all you neighbors out there, be a friend and sign up to decorate your car for me:) thank you in advance:)
I will post photos soon as soon as Ben fixes my adobe photo shop he messed up, yeah a story for another time;0
Yeah for fall, we were able to go and pick out some pumpkins, they had a really good time walking around choosing the exact one they wanted.
Bauer's pumpkin was too heavy and was sad that he fell down trying to hold it
Even Ben found a great pumpkin.
So Ben and I are going to go to lunch WITHOUT any kids.....What??!! and then go look for Christmas presents and maybe a movie??!! the sky is the limit when you are footloose and fancy free (coined from my favorite aunt Denise)
Today I flew to Minneapolis/St. Paul area, with another flight attendant, and we were getting ready to leave and she stopped to talk the the passengers in the exit row and there was these two teenage girls sitting there and we had to remind them to do everything, seat belts, electronic devices, put the stuff under the seat and they were quite annoyed. So their Mom was sitting up in first class and wanted me to deliver some medication to them and I walked it back and said your mom wanted me to give this to you. She replies "oh from the Devil".......oh my gosh (I laugh about it now), but man I am really getting nervous, I was so mouthy at 15 and think......what am I going to do if Livi ever refers to me as "the devil".....
Ben wasn't very happy about my post and commented that I make fun of him a lot. So to redeem myself I will post a nice story about Ben. (let me think of one and then I will get back to ya) ha ha
