Our (crazy) new life...

Most of you know by now that the boys started public school this year so that I could go back to work. Our new life is crazy busy...

Perrin and Connor are really doing well in school. We just had our first conference. Perrin received the highest grade for math and Connor received the highest grade for reading and spelling. (I guess they don't use A, B, & C anymore, now it's 1 thru 4.)

My new job (yeah Wendy's) is crazy hard and a ton of work!!! Man! Am I wishing now that I had gotten a degree in my 20's.( Dad, it would be okay if you say "I told you so.") All-in-all, it's a pretty good place to work and sometimes it's even fun :o)

Shane is still doing what he does best: working hard and taking care of all of us. He really is the light of my life.

Our fam is preparing for our big Thanksgiving trip to Virgina. We got a new car stereo (cuz Auntie Joyce's old Saturn didn't have a CD player.) And we now have an on board DVD, so the boys can watch movies and play Play Station on the road. I'm so so so excited for this trip!

I hope your all well and happy. Write to me and tell me about your Thanksgiving plans.

Adventures in a minivan

Vance Anthony Farley came into the world on the 4th of July weighing 4lbs 12oz. Everything went pretty well for such a tiny baby and he only had to stay in the hospital for one extra day. I got to Velvet's just after they brought him home

Staying with my sister was pretty educational. The first thing I learned is that anyone who has more than 2 kids in insane! As soon as there is more than 2 an enormous amount of energy goes into feeding them, cleaning them, and cleaning up after them. Not to mention keeping them all happy! WOW!!!


The second thing I learned is I grew up in a very tiny town! Okay I knew that...but I forgot how small CastleDale is!!! Double WOW!


Having that many kids to care for did let me live out the ultimate "Mormon Girl Fantasy" (Cruising down the road in a minivan full of kids, jamming to Kids Bop 12!)
