It's Began....

This time of year is the start of many things for us, Cody begins school, I start coaching volleyball, and Taylee will begin Pre-School. Then added in between these things are our normal work hours and routine responsiblities that we have to take of. I honestly don't know how we get through the day in one piece but we do. Thanks to help from some great family to help us out.
We are so excited that Cody is able to get his Master Degree be able to have a Graduate Assistantship to help get experience and to pay for school. We are not going to see him very much at all this next year between school, teaching, and working his School Bus driving job on the weekends. But that is okay. I keep telling myself, "One more year and he will be done with school".
I have started coaching volleyball again at Pocatello High School. It is a lot of fun and I really enjoy being around the sport again but it is A LOT of work and takes lots of time. We should have pretty good teams this year so I am excited. I have having a hard time juggling this new routine but give me a few more weeks and hopefully I will have it down to an art! :) Lets hope.
Taylee is so excited for Pre-School. I think that she is really going to love it and learn so much from it. I cannot believe that she is at that age already. It makes me sad to think of my little Taylee growing up and being so independant.
I just think of how really blessed we are, when we are away from home it is because we are able to work, when we don't see Cody it means that he is able to attend school, I clean and organize because we have a comfortable home to live in, we have to buy Taylee new clothes every season because Taylee is healthy and growing, we are happy and have so much joy because we have each other. When I get all wrapped up and consumed thinking about how busy we are and all that I need to do I just remind myself of these wonderful blessings. Life really couldn't be much better than this!

On Impulse...

So we were headed on our way home from our stay in Salt Lake on Saturday and we decided "hey, lets bid on a hotel room for tonight and if we get it we will stay if not we will go home." Well.....we won the bid and we ended up staying the night in Downtown Salt Lake Saturday night. It was so much fun. Taylee loved that we were going to stay in a hotel. We walked around Temple Square and took Taylee swimming at the hotel swimming pool. We had so much fun! We slept in and took our time coming home on Sunday. It was a pretty impulsive move but it was a very much needed one. We had so much together just us as a little family.
It was worth the stay!!




Tim McGraw

This last Friday night we went down to Salt Lake City to the TIM MCGRAW and Lady Antabellum and Love and Theft Concert. It was a blast!! My sister Tiffany and her husband Motor went with us. We had so much fun and the concert was AMAZING! Lady Antebellum was fantastic and Tim McGraw was AWESOME! (We were late getting there and missed Love and Theft) There were tons and tons of people, it was horribly hot, we had to stand in line forever and ever to buy a pop, and my sister and brother-in-law had to stand in line at will-call for over an hour just to get their tickets but despite it all....it was such a great night out!!

We had tickets for the lawn so we didnt' exactly have the closest of seats but it was fun anyways!!
