for the fans......lol

I was just reading my brothers blog ( Jim) and realized that I haven't done one in a while and figured I better get one out for my fans! lol I don't know where to start exactly so I will give you a recap of the past couple of months.

Work was pretty crazy for a while there. We were starting work at many different times and it wore me out pretty fast. Lots of long hours and many seven days a week and 10 or 12 hours a day! the only good thing about it was Friday (payday.)

My mom was in and out of the hospital for a while and to tell you the truth I thought she wasn't going to come home a few times! But as always the Lord knows more than we do and mom is doing pretty good for now! She is really a fighter and an inspiration to us all.

The kids are getting so big! B.J. I'm afraid has started to notice girls and is always going to the jim. He is starting to look more like a man than a boy. Heck he is so big that my buddy Jeff said to me that I needed to start kicking his but now because he is just as tall as I am and he's only 14 years old. He is a good kid and always gets A's and B's and works hard in band. He honors his Priesthood and is always out going and ready for anything. He just got braces put on and it is so funny to listen to him talk. I kind of felt bad for him because he got his braces on the day before finals and his mouth hurt him so bad that he couldn't eat! But to listen to him talk he did really well on his finals! Way to go B.J.

RL is not for behind B.J. when is comes to growth! To look at my kids you'd think I was giving them steroids of something. RL has discovered that he likes to work with his hands. I have taught him how to work bikes and now he does it all for his brother and sister. The kid can figure out anything just by someone showing him how to do it one time. He is so helpful when it comes to his little sister Mallory.

Kellie, I don't know where to begin! She is so out going and for the past couple of months all she can think about is which song to sing at the school talent show. This girl is not shy at all! I don't know if that is good thing or a bad thing. I'm sure when she gets older I will think it's a bad thing. Next year she starts middle school. Wow, where does the time go? I guess it's time to start drawing that body outline on the driveway so the boys can see that I'm a killer! lol.

Mallory is 18 months old now is progressing everyday. She is talking so well. She loves shoes and is always changing them throughout the day. She is so attached to her mom. At times I'm not sure if she even knows who I am. Too much work I guess!

In April we had two surprises. One is that we finally bought a house! I thought for a while that we would never be able to afford one the way prices were going through the roof here in the valley. It's a nice house and if you're nice I will load some pics in a later blog so you can see the pad. The other surprise is that Alisa is with child again! This will make #5. I am hoping for a boy but will be happy with what ever the Lord sends us!

Well, I need to run because Nascar is coming on and I can't miss that! I will talk with you guys later.
