It has been a long time. A lot has happened and I have been busy with the family, work, and school. Where to start, Jake got a new job that is wonderful not only is it a pay raise but insurance is cheaper and better, but he also has a set schedule which has been a huge help in every way. Leighton has kept me busy with fall ball which is baseball in the fall and so far his team is in first place. Xia is loving school. She is in the dual emerson spanish program and enjoying every minute of it. I took Xia for her first pedicure yesterday and she loved it. Leighton just started band in school and is learning the Alto Saxaphone. We had the cousins family reunion this summer. Jake was only able to go for a day lucky for us it was at bear lake so he was able to come up for that one day. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone. I am finally at the tail end of my schooling meaning that I am getting ready to sumit my PCE application to do my student teaching. Jake and I took the kids to the circus last night. I love going and so do the kids Jake goes just to humor me but it was a lot of fun. I think that catches us up to date so far. Here are some reunion pictures.
