Well, I'm late getting this up, like everything else :D

First day of school!

Jordan and Moriah started school on August 11th.
Moriah loves Kindergarten and really enjoys making friends and getting ready for school. Jordan is doing much better this year and he has great teachers.
He is being tested at school and as soon as we have insurance again we are going to have him medically tested to see what LDs he has (learning disabilities)

*I will add the pics later they are on the other computer*

***Fun day with friends at Liberty Park***

We met Fred and Amie and their girls on the south end of the park. The kids really enjoyed feeding the geese.

We walked to the other end of the park to play at the playground and in the water park area. We stopped to have snow cones and the kids posed for pictures.

Moriah and Gabby

Jordan, Moriah, and Gabby.
(Yes Moriah is carrying Gabby)

Now Jordan is carrying Gabby.

Jordan and Moriah are going to be so good with thier baby sister!

This is Fred and Amies other daughter Emilie. She's 2 1/2 months older than Moriah!!! lol

**ONTO THE WATER PARK!!!**

Fred and Gabby playing in the water

Moriah decided she didn't like the water! Look at that sad face :(

It's adorable!!! lol

Jordan did have one problem with the water though ...

We couldn't get him to get out!!! lol

Once we got Jordan out of the water all the kids played in the playground and had a blast!

Round and Round they go!

Do I look as tired as I felt?

Mark and Moriah playing. What does her hair make her look like?

Mark said it looks like devil horns! That does fit sometimes but really she just looks adorable!

After our long day we made Mark and Fred go up to their house in the van and we rode Front Runner back up to Clearfield. It was the first time for us to ride it.

*Girls Night Out!*

Later that evening while the boys fed the kids dinner and stuff, Amie and I went to the movies and watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. It was really good, they could have ended it a couple of scenes earlier but other than that it was good if you liked the first one!

Mark's Graduation from LAV school!

7/18/08 He's FINALLY DONE!!!

This is his class. There were about 45 of them in this class.

I was so glad to have him done! It was nice to be down there and get to see him every weekend for June and July but nothing beats getting to see him every day and how good it is for the kids to see him too. They've missed him so much. I'm glad they were, for the most part :D, good little troopers and know that their daddy is doing something important and that he will always love them. It's much easier for them to believe now that he's home!

Well, I finally got some of the pictures from this summer onto the computer! While we were visiting California we went to Sea World for the first time. The kids enjoyed it and I think Mark enjoyed it even more because we got in free!

The kids really enjoyed the tide pools and seeing the starfish.

It looks like he got to touch it! They loved the aquarium. I was dying cause of the Humidity but we all had fun seeing all the animals!

This is REALLY how big the fish was!!! This isn't zoomed in! CRAZY!

As you can see these are the flamingos. Moriah is showing us where we are going and what we are going to do next!

Moriah took this picture all by herself with my big DSLR camera. It's her favorite thing to do!

WAITING TO SEE SHAMU!!!

We wanted good seats so we had to sit for almost an hour!!!

The kids taking turns with the camera:

We really enjoyed our day. We saw the shamu show, still haven't developed those pictures yet. lol. We saw the sea lion show and rode the Rapids ride. We got so soaked and the sun had already gone down so we were FREEZING!!!

Time for school

Jordan and Moriah start school on Monday August 11th. Their back to school night is tomorrow and Jordan will meet his teacher for the first time. Her name is Mrs. Wartman. No offense to her but that is a horrible name for a 1st grade teacher. When Jordan's friend Brittany came over to play last week she was telling him that they were in the same class and that his teachers name was Mrs. Wartman. He came running down stairs to me saying that Brittany was using bad words!! lol It's going to be a long year!

Moriah has a new kindergarten teacher. Mrs. Proud, the teacher from last year, had a baby and is switching to a charter school that will allow her to work a half day. Her new teacher, Mrs. Brown, I think, seems very nice and I think Moriah will do great in her class.

I've been very busy with school myself. 3 classes but the most difficult thing is with the kids around it's hard to concentrate on the computer. Things should run smoother next week once they are at school.

Mark is still looking for work but has been very busy working at Camp Williams last week and this week. It is hard work and he comes home EXHAUSTED!!

I think what exhausts all of us the most is that we are trying to get the kids on a better schedule before school starts and it's not going great. But we continue to work on it so hopefully it will be easier once they are expending more energy during the day!

We're having a girl!!!!

Baby number 3 is going to be a little girl. My due date is still set for December 23rd but I'll have another ultrasound in 5 weeks so we can get a better idea by then. I'm 19 weeks and 2 days today. I am so excited for the new baby to come and can't believe it's only 20 weeks and 2 days until Christmas!!! How quickly this year is flying by.

A Busy Family

Well, I haven't written for just over 3 months. So much has gone one so I will try to catch you up. First of all, right after my last blog we found out that we were pregnant. I'm currently 16 weeks prego, almost half way!!!
I just started college yesterday. I'm taking 18 credit hours this trimester. All online classes too.
Mark finishes his training in 10 days on July 18th and shortly thereafter we will be heading back home to Utah. Jordan and Moriah have school starting August 11th and by the beginning of September all four of us will be in school!
The baby is due December 23rd and we hope to find out what we're having as soon as we get home.
If anyone knows of any job openings that mark could apply for that would be wonderful since he's just a reservist he'll need to get a job asap.
