Hi world....its me, I have finally decided to join you and everyone else that has been neglected. So I was sitting here browsing at everyone's blog and finally reached a decision, I need to update or everyone is going to take me off there friend list and I will have much less people that are interested enough to occasionally peek at my very uneventful blog.
I don't know what it is about the month of September that makes me want to stop doing everything and just slow down. I guess it is because the month of August for us is pretty hectic, and when everything is all said and done, I just want to stop. I am sorry that one of those things was my blog. I can't promise that I am going to update all the time, but I do promise that it will not be 6 weeks before I post again. So to give an update about what is going on in our life:
Gary is head strong in his master's program and really enjoying it...it has been quite an adjustment having him gone all day and then come home a lock himself up in the computer room until midnight. I can't complain too much, I know others that have had to go through much worst.....I at least get to bug him when I want too.
Garon is growing like a weed and is becoming more and more independent everyday. Anywhere I go and Garon's age comes up, people can't believe he is only 3, they think with how tall he is he should be 5. I just have to keep telling myself that I am so grateful he is still my little boy.
Brisa is so 2. Her birthday is next month and oh does she deserve to turn a new year. She acts like it, why shouldn't she finally get to be it. She amazes me with all the new words she is able to say everyday. I just love this stage of learning. She definantly is our little princess.....she acts like it is everyway.
***Now before I update on myself, I need to first apologize for any offense that might be taken by what I am about to update on. Offense meaning that I haven't really made it public, and that only reason why is pure laziness on my part. I can think of a few people who will read this an be quite hurt that they were not the first ones to know:
I am pregnant, due in Febuary. I will find out what I am having next week and I will let all know!!!!!! Other then that I am just enjoying being a mommy and getting to play with my kids all day everyday!!!!
I hope that no one disowns me, because I am truly sorry for not updating sooner.
To explain the lack of on my blog: We have been on vacation. We left our dear sweet home in Idaho on friday, August 1st and started our 10 hour drive south to Monticello, Utah. For all who do not know where that is, it is on the southern, eastern tip of Utah. This is where Gary's Grandparents live. We stopped there for the night and had a wonderful time with them. Then Saturday morning we headed out to finish our last leg of the trip: A 1 hour 45 min drive to Gary's parents house. This of course was our final destination for the next ten days. We had such a blast and we taken very good care of. Garon and Brisa took very well to their Grandparents that they don't see nearly enough. As the pictures will show we did lots of fun and exciting things. We somehow never get bored there. Some of the things that were not photographed ( to me was the best thing) was going rafting with Garon. He had such a blast, especially when we would go down the big rapids. We didn't get any pictures because I forgot my camera and I didn't want to chance hurting Grandma's camera. Another thing that we did was visit the county fair. The only highlight there was all the farm animals that the kids absolutely loved.
The biggest highlight I think for both of the kids was going swimming at the Durango Pool, we went twice and both times when it was time to go the kids didn't not like the idea of getting out. Brisa is a pure fish: Maybe she will someday break Micheal Phelps' record:)

This is a hidden lak that we hiked too, it was such a beautiful day
The best family picture we got, don't judge too much, we did just hike our bums off getting to it.

That was about it from the pictures in Durango. Then we were off to SLC. Gary had to attend a teacher conference for four days so to kids and I decided to stick another and hang out with my aunt. My cousin also attended the same conference so her kids were able to play as well. I did take some pictures but I can't seem to find my camera adapter. The highlights were going to the Hogle Zoo and riding the carousel in the mall.
After five days of that fun we were off to Wyoming to a Dustin Family Reunion ( let me just say that with every trip we make out of Durango we are getting closer to home) The reunion was very fun, filled with lots of fun games and family time.
24 hours later we leave to make our shortest drive yet: 1 1/2 hours to home.
WE had such a fun time and are so happy to be home. 16 days is a really long time. I am surprised that my kids did so well. So I hope this explains my lack of updating.
