We still exist!


Ok, well this time it has been a really long time since I have updated my blog. I know there really is not a good excuse but I swear things have been REALLY BUSY as usual. Football season has been the biggest culprit, it just went on and on and on this year. Greyson's team was 7-0 undefeated and so they went on and played in the Octoberfest Minibowl, then they won that and went on to play in another minibowl, won that and so on and so on. The season finally came to an end last Saturday and I am positive that all of the parents, players and coaches alike are grateful. They did a great job, Greyson loved it and so we will rest and look forward to next season! It's amazing how time consuming having a child in sports is. Andee is just loving Kindergarten, thats where her obsession is right now. We missed a few days due to Swine Flu or whatever and she was really bummed about that. I was more bummed because I had to take a week off work because of it (policy I guess) and my work does not offer sick pay. They just make you take 7 days off if you show symptoms to avoid spreading it. Things are starting to get back to normal now though. Halloween was excruciating as usual, Andee was a witch and Greyson went as a Homework Inmate. Very fitting for him. They had a great time but dressing your kids up 17 times within a 3 day period to attend all the activities is just not that fun! I am glad it's over. Halloween was much funner when I was 21 or so. Well, once again I will promise to get better at posting more frequently but it's probably a lie, hope everyone is doing well, we sure are over here, have had some snow up here recently and the kids are getting really excited for that. Talk to you soon! Heidi

Snack time, which includes carrots, apples or sugar cubes has on many occasions resulted in fights, biting ears, shoving siblings off the hill and down right temper tantrums!

Cortney Woolsey, Miss High School Rodeo Utah

Cortney Woolsey, Miss High School Rodeo Utah
Cortney is in the family and she just won Miss High School Rodeo Utah and is now going on to compete in Nationals in New Mexico I think. Very expensive trip for her family so they had a benefit on Saturday to try and raise funds for her. Andee thought she was for sure a princess. Good Luck Cortney we will all be rooting for you!

Brett Earl Benefit

Brett Earl Benefit
Last month on the eve of Easter, Greyson's friend and classmate Taj lost his dad to a very sudden unexpected heart attack. Brett was 38 years old and left his wife and 4 children with no life insurance. It was very sad but the entire community came together to help raise funds for the family. A benefit was held at Powder Mountain with a silent auction, BBQ, bake sale and numerous other activities with 100% of the proceeds going to the Earls. My generous boss, Dr. Engleby donated funds for me to make some crafts to auction off and it went VERY well! Everything was sold and $10,000+ was raised for the family.

Poor Sage had all of his hair shaved off this week for summer and if you live around here then you know that summer is definitley not here! After a week of downpours and snow storms poor Sagers is freezing! So he's had to wear a jacket out and I think you can tell from the look on his face, he's humiliated! :)

Vegas has a new bed!

Vegas has a new bed!
This is the new bed of choice for Vegas, much to my protest she loves sleeping here! What's the big deal you ask? 14 feet up high. However if you have owned a cat then you know they do not care what you think and the more you try to persuade them not to behave this way, the more they do. Whatever Vegas!
