I'm Back!!


Wow, after a very difficult 2009, things turned around in 2010 in a big way.  In December 2010 we brought home our three children, whom we fondly call Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3.  They were 5, 3, and 18 months at the time.  Time sure flies when you are chasing 3 kids around.  But we are loving every minute of it.  I decided that since I am so bad at keeping a journal, I am going to try and do this on the blog.  We will see how things go.  There is a lot to catch up on, but hopefully I will catch up soon.

Competition cancelled

I know this is a late posting, but Wesley's fight was cancelled because his opponent was unable to make weight. This led to a depressed Wes for the weekend. Hopefully he will have another competition in January - we'll keep you posted.

End of the world as we know it

Well, we had hoped that we wouldn't have bad news to post, but things never go the way we plan. We are sad to report that Wesley's father passed away on July 18th from cancer. Although we knew he was sick, it wasn't until recently that we realized how sick. It was less than 4 weeks from confirmed diagnosis to his passing. We are missing Dad - his stories, his testimony of the Gospel, and all the games of pinochle. It was just a year ago that we took a trip with both Wes' parents and Jen's parents to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone and so I am posting the picture of our Dad's.

Happy Kitty

A couple of weeks ago Belle, our cat, ran out of catnip (or kitty marijuana as we like to call it). She was very unhappy with the situation. So Jen went to PetSmart to get dog food and also got some catnip. We usually buy a small container, but this time she decided to get a tub-o-catnip. Belle was very happy!!

After she was sufficiently "high", she would sit on the banister a little cross eyed. She would also hide behind doors and randomly pounce the dogs! The dogs weren't too crazy about the kitty marijuana.

I looked up today and thought our Papillon had had a tragic accident and lost an ear. Actually, I thought it was more the cat's fault because her and Chip have a love-hate relationship. Belle (the cat) loves to lie in wait for one of the dogs to pass by and then she attacks. Fortunately, it was just an unfortunate ruffling of the fur and ears! But it made us laugh.

Ali's Wedding

So the first weekend of May we went to Las Vegas and saw my baby sister get married. While we were waiting for wedding at the little wedding chappel, we saw a Star Wars wedding. Darth Vader gave the bride away, Storm Troopers were the witnesses and the bride was dressed as Princess Leia (not the bikini outfit) and the groom was dressed as Hans Solo. I don't know, but ya'll might need to be prepared for Star Wars renewing of our vows.

Anyway, Ali and Clint looked very happy and we were happy to get them married finally. We wish them the best! Here are a couple of pictures.
