august 2009







Well it has been quite a while since i have last updated. Sheldon raced again on the 24th of july and got 2nd, but we still love him. He has decided he wants to do a back flip on his 4 wheeler. So to practice this he takes some pedal bikes to Gunnison res, gets a ramp and jumps them into the lake. I think he has a few years before i will really have to worry about this goal. He can land a front flip, but he is not even close to a back flip. If you want to watch they are posted on youtube under "jumping bikes into Gunnison res". He is getting ready for the sanpete county fair with his derby car and the hide race. That is the 27th-29th of august. I really need to look into life insurance for him. Nicole will be 1 on the 29th of August. I can't believe the time has went by this fast. She is walking and can surprisingly understand a lot of what you say. She loves to give kisses and push cars or tractors on the kitchen floor. It is amazing to watch how she teaches herself new things and when she has a problem, how most of the time she can figure it out. Like she was having the hardest time pushing the cars on the carpet, but soon learned it is easier to push them on the kitchen floor. Now she just takes her cars and crawls or walks to the kitchen then plays. Oh soon she will be going to school and i will wonder what happened. She is having her birthday party on saturday the 22nd because Henry & tegian are getting married on the 29th and it is also the fair. we are taking her to Gunnison res, because she just loves to play in the water or ride in the boat. I am like a chicken with my head cut off. I got done with girls camp, which was so much fun. The madsen family was nice enough to let us use their cabin up by Levan. We had 26 girls go and it was a lot of stress getting it ready but i have no complaints the girls were are very good. I have also taken up biking. We (my mom, aunt julie & cousin millie) try to bike at least 5 miles a day, but sometimes we have to make up our missed days and it ends up being like 10 to 15 miles. It wasn't too bad until i got a bike cart for nicole that pulls behind, the seat that i used to use was much easier. But it is all to get in shape so i guess that is good. I am getting ready for my 3rd year of teaching preschool with Jen Stewart who without her i don't think i could do it. We really do have the best preschool around. And in all of this i decided it was time to go back to school. I have my associates with an emphases in elementary education, but now i am going to business. I will see how far i will get with this degree i hope to finish with a bachelors. Well it is late and i have a lot to do and hopefully i will keep this more current. I really am blessed to have such a good husband and great friends and family to help me with all the things i choose to do.
