Ho Hum

I feel out of the loop a bit so I thought I'd give a brief rundown on what my family has been up to. Life is busy is all I can say!

Paul- Unfortunately, we have been seeing the signs of the recession. As an electrician in a town, where not many jobs are taking place, finding work is very difficult. He still has a job, yet his hours have been cut. We've been doing okay and learning how to really budget a bit better. Last week his company picked up a bunch of jobs so things are looking a tad bit better.

Kris- I've still been dealing with gosh darn stomach issues which is hugely depressing and pretty crappy. After many tests I was finally diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I'm on a strict diet of no dairy, caffeine, spicy foods, chocolate, and the list goes on of all foods that I love. Plus, pills I have to take 4 times a day for a total of 14 pills a day. It's been a good three days so I'm hoping the medicine is helping and my choice of foods is working. Who would've have thought that food would be my enemy!

Tanner- Thinks he's going to play football in high school next year so he goes to weight training every evening. He's put his guitar playing on hold. Crazy to think that he will be a senior next year.

Madison- Competition season has begun! Dancing every day to prepare for competitions. She's doing a solo this year and has been working hard. She's turning 12 this week and is looking forward to going to Young Women's.

Camryn- Still feisty and bubbly. She lost one of her front teeth and tries daily to pull the other one out. Loves kindergarten and is doing her best learning her letters and sounds

Jaxon- Still can't believe he's 3! I had him tested for speech back in December and he qualified so he will be attending speech at Heckethorn starting soon. I was hoping for Early Childhood, but he didn't qualify for that. Nothing like free preschool.
That's us in a nutshell. Hope everyone is doing well and I'll post pictures soon. Because YES!!!! I'M GETTING AN AWESOME NEW CAMERA!!!! YEA ME!!!
