I know a few of you are probably passing out right now, Yes it is true I am updating my blog. I will wait for you to get yourself up off the floor...............Just kidding. It has been a year since I have been on here, so I should have a few new things to add.

In the last year we have moved to a new house. It was the best thing we ever did. It is still in Shelley but closer to town. By moving it put us in a new ward (2nd ward), it has been a good change. This house was built 8 years ago, but the inside wasn't finished. It was just 2x4's and a little bit of plumbing, so we tore down walls and redid the inside. We moved in the last weekend of May, but we still have the basement to finish.

Dustin is still working in Glacier, which is still to far away. This summer the boys would go and stay with him for a week at a time. In August, Jay, Priscilla, and I went up there for a weekend. It was really fun!! We went into the park and saw what Dustin was doing. If you have ever been to Glacier you will understand that it is a very beautiful place, but the going to the sun road is got to be the most scariest road in the world. We also went and picked cherries.

School started here in the middle of August. Shae is a sophomore, she has her driving permit and will get her license in about two weeks. Scary!!!! She is on the Varsity volleyball team, which has been really fun to watch. Shad is in 8th grade. He is into rebuilding motors or making something. He built a weedeater motor bike this summer. It goes about 15 miles an hour. I am hoping he invents something amazing that will make tons of money. He deserves it. Jade is in 6th grade. He was playing grid kid football, but he quit (very long story). He is my little helper, he has just learned how to do laundry and loves to do it(crazy). He is really into playing video games or being with his friends. He is our social butterfly.

It is Spud Harvest right now, which means no school for two weeks. Love it!!! I love having the kids home. What is really weird right now is that the tempture outside has been in the 80's. It won't last for long, but who cares!! Shad is spending the last week with Dustin in Glacier. He loves his dad. Shae has volleyball so we can't really do anything to exciting. Jade spent the weekend with the Bingham family.

It has been a crazy summer! And we have enjoyed every minute of it. Family was here and it was so much fun. From camping to playing in the water. The kids loved having their cousins here. It was so cool to see all those kids running around. On top of the craziness of family, we had alot of other things going on. Shae is on a city league softball team, I had girls camp for a week and Dustin is still in Montana working way to far away.

I know!! I know!! It's about time. I have no excuse on why I haven't wrote anything lately, other than I'm just to lazy. This is for Vandy! Basketball season is over (Yeah!) My freshman team did awesome. Our record was 16-2. It had to been the coach. JK! The varsity team did ok, but they just couldn't pull it off to go to state. The kids have also been playing basketball. Shae did a Bonneville league and is going to do March Madness tournament. The boys are in the Jazz program. One week left of Jazz. Shae has started club volleyball. It never ends. We are also doing dance. Shae does clogging,hip-hop,lyrical and baton. I am doing clogging and river dance. Shad got asked to dance with a girl from Idaho Falls to do the couple dance. He danced with her last year. Dustin has been working on the crusher. It hasn't been to warm, so he has been freezing. He went last week to Las Vegas for meetings. He got to golf at the TPC Golf course. I guess that is where the professionals golf. It cost $245, but it was free for him. Thank goodness! Most of you know how bad Dustin's back is, anyways he has been going to doctors to get some help because it has been hurting so bad. He does physical therapy twice a week with Brian Huntsman. This morning he went and had a MRI done to seen exactly what is wrong. They did x-rays a couple weeks ago and found bone spurs on three of his vertebrae. We will find out Wednesday what the MRI seen. POOR DUSTIN!!! I will try to keep you up to date. But no guarantees.

Shae has kept us very busy this year. She went from volleyball right into basketball. She is doing really well this year. She is the shortest player, but that doesn't slow her down. She

is averaging about 6 points a game. We love watching her and her team. Grandma Park, Koreen and her boys came and watched last week in a very close game. She appreciated them coming. Shae is more excited about her new cousin though.

My baby is not a baby anymore. That means I am getting old. Jade keeps us laughing. He loves to make up jokes (half of them don't make sense but we still laugh). He still loves to cuddle with his mom, so that gives me a little hope. He loves to play basketball and ride his motorbike. Dustin made the boys a dirtbike track in our back yard. It is so fun to watch them from the back window. Jade is in 4th grade, he loves math and reading. He is a lady's man. Every day he tells me how so and so tells him they like him or he is so cute. I think we are going to have are hands busy when he gets to high school (he is just like his dad)!!!

WOW! Shad is growing up so fast. He is in the middle school this year. He was nominated for Natural Helpers ( a group of kids that get together and try to find ways to help kids that are sad, or just need a friend). He loves it! He tried grid kid football, it didn't last long. He only weighs 58lbs, and he got tackled pretty bad and it did him in. He said no more. I don't blame him. He is getting a little girl crazy. SCARY! He just tells me he thinks certain girls are cute. I can't believe how much he has changed this last year.
