One more day!

Well tomorrow is Halloween. It's almost like Christmas in my house. Of course we already had our party, but there is still trick or treating. The girls are very excited, but I think I'm going to have to hide the candy so I can get some peace. On Sunday I went to go see my grandma. She is so thin and can't get out of bed. My two aunts were visiting so it was nice to see family. I'm having a hard time thinking about how my poor grandpa is doing. He also is losing weight. He's so busy taking care of her that i don't think he's taking care of himself. It's not easy to watch my grandparents losing their sole mates. My poor dad too. He's holding up good on the outside, but I know him way to well. The hospice people came yesterday and brought her a hospital bed. The lady said that its goes pretty quick from here. Which is OK, because she doesn't need to suffer anymore and neither does the rest of the family. OK enough sadness. Well hopefully I'll get the pictures of the girls from the party up soon.

Nevada Day

Well today is Nevada Day. State employees are off and schools are closed. My bank is based out of Ca so guess where I am right now. The good news is that we got to wear western clothing in stead of our uniforms. Also today my girlfriend Tiffany came by my work with her daughter Payton. Payton is now 9 months old and just started taking her first steps. I got to see her take about 6 or 7. It's so exciting to watch them grow up. Speaking of babies one of my other girlfriends, Raeley called me today and told me she is pregnant. I'm so excited. She thinks she is about 1 1/2 months. I can't believe we are going to have another baby!!! I say we because we have this group of us that have been friends for about 11 years or so. We have our own Ya-Ya sisterhood. So Congratulations to Maiden Garden Jewel! Tomorrow is our Annual Halloween Party. This will be the 4th year. I'm excited as always. The girls have their homemade costumes. (Thanks to the best mom is the world. hehe) Caitlyn is going to be a mermaid, Makayla a belly dancer. I actually didn't make one for Celeste this year. She wanted to wear an authentic Norwegian Traditional Dress. So I ordered one from Norway. We even kept the packaging because it came from Norway. She picked that because we are Norwegian and because of her great-grandma. Grandma is sick and will not be here much longer so it is to honor her. I can't wait until grandma sees her. Well tonight I get to go to the grocery store and buy food to make all kinds of Halloween themed foods. So hopefully we have a good turn out. Speaking of dressing up what would be your most favorite thing to dress up as?

First blog

Well this is my first Blog. So here it goes. I thought I could keep everyone updated on my busy life and my girls. We just finished soccer season. Makayla's 4th season. She decided to play spring this next year. Caitlyn just started her piano lessons. She seems to like it. Celeste decided that flute was not for her and quit band, but she is loving her cheer class. The girls are keeping very busy. We just got progress reports and Celeste got A's and B's, the twins got A's, B's, and C's. About a month and a half ago I finally got myself a puppy. He's a mini dachshund. His name is Toby. He's very loving and already potty trained. He will be 4 months old on November 1st. It's funny because I have never considered myself an animal person. I always wondered how someone could love their dog so much. Well now I think I understand. But I do still have my fish. Well I'm sure that's enough for today.
