June 4, 2002 to Stacy A.
Our little family has escaped the bad luck this go round. We are all doing well. Katie is 5 1/2 months and cute as can be. She is starting to roll and sit's up if you get her there first. She will probably crawl soon. Bryce just graduated Kindergarten and really loved it. Dallas just finished first grade. Aj - 5th. Are we getting old or what???
We are loving our home. We moved to Washington City a year ago. We have since poured a basketball court in the backyard and are in the midst of making a 2 car driveway. It was one. Now it's two and this week we will hopefully get a 2 car carport installed. Our cars were so hot baking in the 110 degree sunshine everyday here! So that is where the income tax refund went.
I walk to work everyday and I still really love my job. They are taking good care of me. They let me take Katie to work everyday still. She comes for the mornings and then if she gets fussy Andy comes and gets her. She is a very calm nice baby. Haven't had to send her home more than a couple of times.
I work just 32 or so hours a week. All day monday and tuesday (10-12 hours on Tuesday) and then just 5 hours Wed, Thurs and Friday. I'm still kind of on Maternity using my vacation/sick/comp hours to make up my time off. But in July I'll drop down to 32 ish hours a week and just make a little bit less money. (They gave me a raise to compensate a little for the time off). I can come back full time at any time and so I really like this arrangement. I have to really hussle to get my work done during the day but that's good too. Time flies!
Andy is doing bail bonding and has done really well with it. He is also doing vending still. Radio broadcasting and newspaper writing. He is on his "off" time now with the sports taking the summer off. We hope to take some little mini vacations this summer while we have all of us available! We will go in 2 weeks to Spanish Fork - I have training for 3 days. While there we hope to go to 7 peaks and visit grandma (Riverton). We also want to go to Park City and ride the Heber Creeper and Alpine Slide. Maybe in July. We are still trying to find a decent rate for rooms for that.
Well I hope you are enjoying your little family. You are in the hard part - never sleeping and always having to help with everything. I was really overwhelmed for a long time when Dallas and Bryce were little. It's so nice having a baby now that I have a 10 year old. He helps so much! They all just maul her all the time. They love her to pieces. But it takes the pressure off me - I can actually have breaks sometimes! We hope to have one more before too long and then close up shop! I would really like to have another little girl so Katie isn't spoiled rotten. Some days I don't think I could possible handle another and other days I think I should just get her here. So we'll see!
