Alright when I started having kids people would tell me that life will get busier and busier. I thought life was already nuts but, this last month was insane. Let's see I think it began when Cory decided he wanted a dog. Our dog Meisha that we had for six years was ran over by a neighbor at the beginning of April. It really sucked and I thought we were going to wait a while or Cory said if ever to get a new dog. But, then he started looking on KSL and it was every day. He seemed so anxious to get a puppy and he wouldn't tell me why he changed his mind. So we bought a puppy. The following day I started a new job. She was really cute but we noticed that her eyes were a little goofy and it was somewhat difficult to take care of her and work. We were concerned about any long term effects or other problems that she might have so after having her for a week and a half we sold her to someone that wasn't concerned. The moment we sold her we regretted it. We got attached to her goofy eyes and all. We were even so rude as to ask them to sell her back to us but, it just wasn't happening. This is the crazy eyed cutie.
Even though I was ok to wait a little bit the rest of the depressed family talked me into getting a new puppy only a few days later.
This is what our kids have been up to during our insanity. The boys are trying to fit into their dad shoes (they are some pretty big shoes to fill).

She is pretty cute! She is a Shih Tzu like Meisha and we decided to name her "PIPER." Now that we have her we are ok that we didnt get the other puppy back. We have had her for a week now and she is loving being apart of our family. Potty training is not fun and the protecting her from my little ones and them from her keeps me on my toes. But, we are so happy to have a dog again:)
Ok the second thing is that I already mentioned. I started a new job. It is a little strange. I haven't worked since Ashton was born almost eight years now. It is a data entry job that I can do from home. It is helping seniors with diabetes find the best diabetic supplies. It is exhausting but, I am grateful to have it. Every little bit helps financially and I am trying to save up for Christmas ( I know that dreaded word).
We also had three members of our family start school. Ashton started second grade, Ty got to go to the big school and start Kindergarten and Cory went back to UVU to get his Criminal Justice degree.
Ty was very excited to start Kindergarten. His best friend Nick is in his class and ended up on the same table. He is the one in the Orange shirt. They have only been in school a few weeks and Ty already tells me that he has a girlfriend. What is up with my boys and the girls they don't believe me when i tell them that girls have "cooties." I guess when you got it you got it!
Also in the last month we have bought and sold a number of items. Don't you just LOVE KSL!!! It makes things so nice to buy and sell but, wow we have ran around a lot meeting buyers and sellers. We have bought a dog, sold a dog, and bought another one. We sold our Tahoe and bought a minivan. I know I know it is official I am a MOM. It is hard to look cool in a minivan even if you don''t have kids in it with you. It is just more practical for us. The minivan came with a handicap chair lift so we sold that and we also had a stove that we sold.

And we found Jordyn like this when we were cleaning out our van. She said she was tired so we said go take a nap and this is where she decided to take it. At least she picked a shady spot.
So between dogs, vehicles, school, homework, work, canning(yes it is the season), and everyday house cleaning, laundry, and taking care of a husband and four kids needless to say I am TIRED!! But, hey I am not complaining life is in a good place for us right now and I am very HAPPY about that.
Oh and on a side note we have been informed that we have two new nieces or nephews coming to add to the family. One on the Russell side and one on the Slade side. So Congrats to them!
