Another Semester

It is official the fall semester starts next week, and it puts me one semester closer to the goal of graduation. We did have one last adventure before going back, and it took place in Yellowstone National Park. Growing up my family would go to Yellowstone at least one a year for a vacation I thought maybe I should continue that tradition with my family. I was shocked to discover that my wife of almost 7 years has only ever been to Old Faithful once and never camped in the park. With this camping trip I not only had two wide eyed girls but one in awe wife. It was cute to watch my children light up with each animal that came into view. To hear there little excited voices asking questions about Old Faithful, geysers, and any bug that came into view. Most of all it was entertaining to watch as my wife experienced more of Yellowstone for the first time. :)

Summer 09'

This summer has been very fun. M has enjoyed her time during her internship. We have seen some new sights and done lots of activities for the girls. But if you were to ask me what one thing was the most exciting that would be finding out that we are going to have another child. Yep that is right we are expecting number 3 in February.

Fall Fun

Even though the Autumn season started a wile ago It was not until yesterday that our tree out front started to drop it's leafs.  Our sidewalk, grass, and car was covered in a thick layer of leafs.  We decides to take advantage of the new fallen leafs by gartering them up into a large pile and jump in them.  M and I have never played like this in the leafs so what a perfect time to start and share what we missed out on growing up and make sure that our girls have a good memories.  We jumped in piles of leaf tossed had full of leafs into the air and took lots of pictures.  It turned out to be a good opportunity to grow closer as a family.    

Blessings

For our anniversary M and I gave each other the books that we have been wanting for awhile.  M's book is "Inside every woman" and mine is "Brisingr" along with the preceding two books.  Latter that evening we went to a trunk or treat in our old ward.  All of our neighbors are in that ward while M and I are in a different ward of our choosing.  The event was enjoyable and entertaining.  Plus the girls were having a ball playing games and receiving candy.  The girls, M, and I had a great time.  For our family costume we decided to go as a set of Lego's.  We used cardboard boxes and plastic cups that we spray painted.  To attach the cups we cut out holes, in the front of the box, that were just smaller than the cup so we could insert the cups snugly.  I was the blue Lego M was the red Lego J was the purple Lego and A was the pink Lego.

When we came home we decided to use our circular cutouts to "spot" our neighbors door.  Before we had a chance to take a snapshot of our handy work we were interrupted by a car screeching to a halt right out front of our house.  For about ten seconds all I could see was clouds of blue smoke wafting into the head light beams of the car.  M on the other hand saw the whole thing happen the little girl wanting her mommy then running out into the street after her only to be hit by the car.  I have never been so close to an accident like that before M took off running to the girl almost instantly while I stood in unbelief not completely knowing what had just happened.  Luckily the little girls was not injured even though she was knocked down. Needless to say we ended our anniversary on a very sobering note.  We did get a picture of the door though and had a little fun with our neighbors before the day was over.  The note says "You've been spotted!" 

New Look

Just the other day my wife and I was looking at other blogs and noticed that some if not all had changed there look and layout.  Feeling the need for an improvement in my blog I started to look at other templates and backgrounds.  Then as a mishap my side were placed out of there normal order.  Leading me to recognize that not only did my background need changing but my side elements too.  Thanks to my sister who just started her blog I discovered some new elements that I happen to like more that the originals I had.  So all of my work and playing around has created the new face of My Mint Oreo's I hope you like it.

It is over!!!!!.......

A lot has happened to me over the past few weeks and I'm still not that very good about blogging I hope to get better as time goes on. Well if you asked me how I feel about the whole thing it would be very hard to sum it up. First I'm relieved that it is over now I do not feel like I'm sitting around letting the world pass me by or, stuck on a sinking ship that keeps on dragging me down with it. Second I'm a Little sad that I'm leaving all of my friends and going on to other things. Third I'm scared to start something new and not having that feeling of regularity in my life. I hope that collage will help me get into something that i relay like and enjoy. Now is the time to start moving forward and maybe glancing back to remember the good times. Like being in Mexico with friends and all of my friends from second shift I hope that they will find there path in life. Forth I'm excited to be moving on with my education and being with my family. We have already done some very fun things, for example we purchased a bike trailer and have had some real fun biking around. My wife has signed up for a swim class with my d.d. they are so very cute swimming around. To top it off we are planning on going camping some time this summer so we will be ready for school this fall.

A Break

Well I was given a very good gift from my boss just befor I came home this last time. That was to say that our groop did not half to come back to mexico for two weeks the best thing about that is if we go back down I will only have two week left untill my end date. However, He did say that if I could call him and tell him that im not going back and he wold take care of it. There reason for doing this is becous there upper managment beleves that they no longer need the support team around and that we are just in the way. So to test it and see how things will run without the support they decided to let us have a break. What is realy funny is that they have not ben able to run everything at top preformance and in fact there reject rate is sky high. Not to mention that not all the processes have been validated for production and there is no more inventory left. That means that as of now they are about 3 if not 4 weeks behind on most of there production durring there busiest time of the year. Oh well it's not my job to worry about it. :)

On that note im very ecited to be home with my girls and i have been loveing every minute of it. My wife and I broke down and got an eight person tent for camping so we are all ready for our vaction this summer. I hope that the girls will be ok this will be there first time sleeping in a tent and everything so it might not be as smooth as we are hopping. It still sound like fun.
