Bryce is 3 1/2 years old. He started sunbeams this week and was SO excited. He couldn't wait to get out of nursery! He just a few months ago quit crying when he went to Nursery. Bryce loves Dallas. They still share a room and I often find them asleep in the same bed. They play for hours together and never get bored. Bryce says his favorite cartoon is Bruno. He luvs spaghettios. Bryce is almost exactly the same size as Dallas so they share shoes, clothes and jackets regularly.
Dallas is almost 5 and a smart little boy. He could play on the computer all day if we'd let him. He can turn it on, select his game, switch the CD, play and shut down the system w/o any assistance most of the time. He and AJ compete for computer time. They like different games. Dallas will start kindergarten this fall and I think it will be hard on Bryce to be left out.
AJ is 8 and was baptized in September. He is a super kid who works hard on the vending route and earns $3/week. He pays 50 cents tithing every Sunday on his money (a little extra, just because!) and he bares his testimony every month. He's almost always first and he gets a smartie candy from Brother Greely (our home teacher) afterward.
He is on city rec basketball and Dad is coach. They are doing really great. AJ shot 2 baskets last night (first points he ever made in a game and he's played 2 years now). He was so excited. The team lost their first game and never looked back. They've won every game since then.
Andy is keeping busy with the vending business, the crows-nest radio show, Jazz show on the radio, both sports talk programs he hosts on Sundays from 6-9 p.m. He also write for Southern Utah Sports magazine and stays with the boys all day. He is a good stay-at-home Daddy. They kids adore him. He is patient and kind but he makes them do their work too.
Cleaning the living room, dishes, trash, silverware, etc. I think the boys need a man to help raise them and teach them. They listen to Andy much better!
And I'm still at Washington City (going on 3+ years). Doing my court clerk stuff. I really love it. The people I work with are awesome and the pay is decent. The hours are good. It isn't one I have to take home with me.
I am also YW president. What a lot of work. It's been really fun though. I like it more than I thought I would. The girls are fun and we keep busy.
I have also played organ in sacrament several times - A goal I set a few years ago. Who would have thought? It's amazing the things we can accomplish with help from the Lord!
