So I know all of you are thinking Jill is lame and cant get anything together. Well I am here to say the you are right. My last posting was so long ago that you probably have been thinking she fell in to a deep dark hole and hasn't found the top yet. Well it kind feels that way.
So since i posted last here is what has been happening!
Before we go any further. I have to tell everyone my biggest frustration is that my computer took an extended vacation and I am not sure when it will be returning ... So there aren't going to be any pictures for a while ... but when I get it back I will get you pictures of all of us!
Now on with the updates...
In October ...
Halloween ... was very exciting. On the 25Th of October Keith and i had an adults weekend and went down to Richfield UT to spend some time with our friends. While we were down there our friend Anthony owns a Mixed Martial Arts studio and does extreme combat fighting. They had a show down at snow college. Keith and I along with our friends went to watch a bunch of guys beat the crap out of each other. That was exciting. On Halloween I took the girls trick or treating. Honestly I personally hate trick or treating. I hate candy. I hate what candy does to kids and where you find the wrappers. Since kids don't believe in using the trash can. But other than that nothing really major happened in October.
In November ...
November on the other had was a lot more interesting at our home. Keith lost his job at the beginning of the month. Which ended up being a blessing in disguise. For awhile now Keith and I have been talking about him coming off the road and the time was never right. Well we had been talking about if more lately and still weren't sure that we were ready to make the change and then this came. The first week that he was home was stress full applications and interviews and no luck and then at the end of the week Kimmy(our babysitter) told Keith the her brother n laws work was always looking for employees. So he called Bob on Thursday night and Friday morning at 8am he went in toured the facilities and at 930 am had a job interview about lunch he had a drug screen and by about 1pm he had a job and was watching training videos. It has been about 60days that he has been home. The funny thing is that everyone still keep asking us how it is to be home and around each other. Keep in mind we have been together almost 9 years and have maybe been together 1 1/2 years total in that time. I personally am loving having him home. It helps to have someone there who can help with the girls and some of the other things that I was taking on myself. Thanksgiving was good we spent the day at my moms house eating and playing cards and watching football. I am so glad to have my family so close to me. I love them all.
In December.....
Mostly Keith and I just worked. Erika had a preschool program. She was so cute and I cant believe how well she knew the words to the songs and how willing to sing along. She was so cute and loved it. A week later Emma also had a school program and the difference between hers and Erika's program was amazing. All Emma was worried about was looking cute. She played with her haired and yawned. Then she was looking around. However she was cute, so she did accomplish one thing. They were fun. The Christmas came. Since Keith and I remodelled the house this summer we didn't do gift for each other. However the girls got Keith a new tool box for work and I got a new Kodak all in one printer. VERY EXCITING. The big gift for the family was a new edition to the family. We got a Black lab puppy her name is TECO . She is so fun. We took her to my dads and Sharon posted some pictures. I will post more soon. Madison got a guinea pig and movies and book and grown up girl stuff. Emma got barbies and polley's and movies and make-up. Erika got a leapster game unit and barbies. They are all loving it. Keith grandparents always send us something every year this year we were able to get a Guitar Hero World Tour for the xbox 360. We all really enjoy playing that with our friends and family that come over and hang out. New years was fun. We went to our friends Mike and Christine's. We hung out and then we went hot tubing and then played the WII. That is super fun especially when you are intoxicated.
To start the new year ...
Our sweet little puppy who is now about 12 weeks old spent the Sunday and Monday of this week in the Veterinary hospital. She got some sort of stomach infection. Not a cheap way to spend the new year. However she is home and doing well.
