Hello!!!! by BELLA

Call my dad a slacker. He is at work right now and I’m on the computer looking at the blogs and saw that my dad has nothing. So i’m doing it for him.

Not too much today…..?????!!!!!!

We went to Portland today for the kids dentist appointments.  Not much happened today other than that.  We are still applying for jobs still and it has been real slow on that front.

How does this thing work???? At least I am happy?????

The YUCK is back but the kids are cute….

The clouds are returning so our great days are turning gray.  The cutes have  been cute so It may balance out.

The clouds are back and it is yucky.

Allllll the YUCK is back!

As Promised….Our trip home.

We had alot of fun coming home from our trip.  As we came into Beaver a huge sand storm hit us and it kept up into it turned to snow outside of Nephi.  We stopped in Payson with snow on the freeway and it cleared up until we came to Tremonton, UT were we had snow all of the way to Twin Falls.  The wind blew hard the whole way which you can hear on the  videos.  The next day was alot better and we were glad to be home.

All of this snow stuff is borrrreing….

It has been fun being with the family and learning more about them.  If nothing else comes from this lay off, it will be worth it. Here are some pitcures of a recent trip we took.  The videos are at the bottom.  In the next couple days I will post the trip back.  That was a little wild.

The Best Store EVER – Fry’s Electronics

We have had alot happen.  We had snow here again which should be a crime in and of itself.  Then Grandmother came and visited us.  It was very enjoyable except for the days that some of us were sick. 

Roman became a man and got a real short hair cut.  He thought the world had ended so we have alot of work to do.  He has also learned how to play the computer.  Just like all of the kids, he loves it.

The job thing is going real slow.  We have been applying like crazy but nothing happening.  We know that something will happen but it is hard to wait.  Holly is also tired of me hanging around so much….so wants me out of her hair!!

Over due post

Yup! Another cute pose!!

Sorry this post has been so late.  We have been working on the job front and selling the house.  The phone is starting to ring.  Only about 10% of the calls right are serious jobs but at least the phone is starting to ring.  I have posted the latest resume.  I have also posted my cover letter but can’t find out how to make it visible.  I hope to get that fixed.

The other day Sophia was being cute with Ava and we had to take some pictures.  All of our kids are love their pictures taken and the camera loves them.  The video is of Sophia and Ava and I thought the music that was playing was very appropriate……very funny.
