We're Alive and Kickin'

We are alive. I went from posting every other day, to well, it's been quite awhile. I've been working a lot in the Shack. This is the last week before closing for the season. I'm pretty much working it all by myself. The more I'm in it, the more money we make...

Pat just landed a job, working for Center Partner's. He'll be working under Capital One. It pays pretty well, especially since he speaks Spanish. That will be nice to have him working. I start school next week. Four more semesters including Student Teaching. I'm determined to finish. Thank goodness my mom has offered to watch this little girl.
(Don't you love the onsie our ward gave us. ha "newest" and it fits at 8 mo. old)

We've done what we can to enjoy the last of summer. We've been Boating with my fam a few times! Pat took me to the drive in last night while my parents watched Pres. We watched G.I. Joe and Transformers. ha there were only two other cars in the place.

Pat received a fly fishing pole for Christmas from his mama. It was killing him that he hadn't used it yet. Well, his Step Bro Wyatt, who is an incredible fly fisherman, (Has done tours for people for a very long time, here and in South America) was kind enough to invite us to float down the South Fork. So while Pat and Wyatt fished, Pat's dad and I enjoyed the 95 degree weather. ha It is a gorgeous float, and Wyatt taught Pat a lot. Pat was then able to head out fishing again with my cousin Trevor. All of the pics are on Wyatt's camera sorry.

I love that one of my best friends lives only a few miles away from me. She's expecting in October, so we've done a lot of shopping and decorating for both our babies. I just threw a baby shower for her, this little guy is gonna be one cute sight in camo!

Remember this photo?
Well, I still haven't finished cleaning out the basement. But I'm back at it. We don't have any money to take at trip to the dump again (Last time it was over $40) So, every week I've been filling up the garbage can with what I can. While throwing everything out, I have discovered a few treasures which include, A couple of neat frames, an old school high chair, which Pat's dad used growing up. It's been rather fun to see what has been kept down there. Next post I'll let you see what I did with the frames.

Preslee Jo, well she's quite the girl. For the longest time I knew she could crawl, but she just wouldn't. She'd rather whine until we gave her what she wanted, instead of moving herself to the object... Well before long I would leave the room and come back and she would be in a totally different spot. So I started watching her after I left the room. Ha She's already working the system. As soon as we would leave the room she would crawl! She finally got the nerve to crawl in front of Pat, and hasn't stopped moving since! Her only ambition in life is to eat all of Pog's toys... We're currently going through the teething stage for the second time... Gotta love the tears, drool, and sleepless nights. And that's the update for us.
