Goodbye Summer...Hello Fall!

Hello from California...still! Just wanted to stop by the blog and get caught up again. Life is still crazy, will it ever been calm again? Was it ever calm in the first place? HA! Asher is doing well. He has a doctor's appointment this week for his two month check up. Yes its a little late but we had to wait for insurance to kick in before we could go. He has what is known as an umbilical hernia, I think. I've read up on it on the internet and it seems painless and some what normal. It should heal itself on its own but I'd like the doctor to verify that for me when we go in. He is sleeping well and eating tons. I'm not sure but I'm guessing he weighs close to 20 pounds by now and barely 2 1/2 months old, can you believe that? He is already wearing 6-9 month clothing and size 3 diapers! He is a very happy baby and I couldn't love him anymore than I do.


Bailey is doing well in school. He started a new school again this year. He has made friends quickly and hangs out with them after school most days. He has lots of homework most nights and it is a struggle to get him to complete it all but he is a good boy and gets it all done just in time for bed :) He is going to see his dad in October when he has a 4 week break from school. He is really excited about that.

Josten is home. He has been struggling with the job market down here. No one seems to be hiring. He didn't get to start college because without a job he didn't have the money to pay the tuition, plus he didn't try to register until a week before school started so that put him behind. He is hoping to start the Spring semester.

Jadeth is now engaged to Whitnee, they have been dating on and off for a couple of years now. She is expecting a baby early April. They are both very excited and a little nervous but we are happy for them, they both seem to be growing up quickly. Jadeth is in Hawaii right now, for a couple of weeks, with his job. He just got a raise and is hoping to get promoted to foreman here any day.

We didn't get to see much of Sabelle when we were in Panguitch for a visit. She had some stuff with school she had to get done and was unable to come up with us. She has a good job and is hoping to get more hours soon. Her and her boyfriend, Chad, are still together and that seems to make her happy. We miss her and hope she can come visit us soon.

Jared is trying to get things worked out for himself. He is struggling a little but we are all praying he will realize what matters most to him and get things straight in his head. We just hope he knows we love him! He did hang out with us in Panguitch and we had such a great time with him up there. Bailey loved riding the 4-wheeler with him and Asher just loves his big brother.

James and I are doing well, just trying to make it through this strange thing they are calling the economy. We are just enjoying our family as much as possible and making the most of what we have!
