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.    

Funny things that my girls have said to me

My wife and I decided one day to get a chore chart going for our children to get them motivated to do more around the house.  When we finely found one and started using it my eldest who was overly excited about the chart asked me "Daddy what's on my schedule for today?"

Lately my youngest has been in this fascination with Winnie the Pooh.  Well one day she was trying to get ready for the day and was having trouble putting her shirt on.  I was about ready to help her when she frustrated exclaimed "oh! bother".  Needles to say Winnie the Pooh has been shelved. :-)

The Gap Filler

Over the last few months lots has happened. My grades for my classes were all realy good and in the spring I will have a 17 creadit load. However, the benifits that I was receving from my job decided to cut me off after 6 months insted of a full year like they promised. This is only one of several issue I'm having with them changing there minds about something they have promised me.
On a good note just the other day my dd informed me that she has a green puppy named Charkie, lol. I'v been whating for the stage where she has imagenary friends. It is so fun to see her interact with her puppy. I wish I could rember my imagenary friend; can you rember any?

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.

WOW

Well where should I begin. How about the airport yea thats sound good the airport. It started out ok we arived at the airport an hour befor my flight was schuled to depart. After the bags were checked in I walked with my eldist arround the airport in about a minute we were back were we started. :) Got to love small airports no big lines and they let your family wate by the gate untill you half to bord. Littel did I know that my hardest thing about this job would be happing when I tried to leave. As I approched the gate my eldist d.d. began to screem "I want to go with dady on a air plain!" of corse hearing her scream that it broke my heart. Looking back at my wife holding bolth of my d.d. (all of them ether crying or close to it) I realy began to wonder if this job was worth it(it's not by the way). But it was a littel to late to back out now, so I had to do the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life up to that point and that was to walk away. Six o'clock roles arround and I find myself in Tuscon, AZ in a very nice hotel called the Amerasuites.

Traviling in Mexico, I do not recomend it ever I would gladly drive in Utah Tuscon anyday over Mexico. There left turn lane is in a crazy spot(numbering the lains going from right to left)lain 1 is the right turn or stright lane, lain 2 is the Left turn lain and lains 3 & 4 are stright only lains. On top of that there is a unspoken rule once the light turns green you better be half way through the intersection, or there will be some angry people and there not afraid to honk there horns and yell to let you know it I gess there trying to compete with Utah drivers :).

Some of the fun things that I have gone and done in Tuson, are going to see the Xasiver Mission, the one that has been in a lot of western movies. Aloung with all the shopping ther is a lot of thing to do however, everything cost so much that it is hard to afford to do anything. There is always relaxing by the pool all day and reading a book.

I had one major highlight that was when I came home yea.

I WON

Yesterday when we were at Wal-mart my d.d. wanted to go to the play room so we did. However she was to scared to ride on any of the rides so we found a crane game with stuffed animal. So I tried to get a prize. On the first try I almost won a white stuffed bear but at the last second it fell down half hanging over the prize shoot. Of course I could not give up with my prize so close to falling into the shoot. So I tried one more time and lo and behold not only one prize but two This was the first time that I have ever won from this type of game and on top of that I got two prizes! Then latter that day at work I found out that I had won the prize drawing they were having. What a day.
