So I have never really "blogged" before, but I figured that it would be kind of a fun way to keep people in the loop on our EXCITING lives. Here is a summary of all that is happening these days. I will post some pictures soon and get more on here. Enjoy!!
Mike - He is still working at Boeing and is working 10 hour days along with weekends. He is a machanic on the 777 doing wing structures. He has finished 3 classes through the University of Pheonix, to obtain a degree in IT, but has always had his heart set on being an Athletic Trainer and so he is looking into taking some classes through the Distant Learning Program that BYU offers. He has been suffering from major pain in his foot ever since we have lived here. He has been to the Dr. and they advised that due to being flat footed this has occured. In order to fix the problem they will have to perform a major surgery to fuse bones together and make it comfortable to walk again. We don't know exactly when this will happen but hopefully within the next year.
Payton - She is now 18 months old and is growing up so fast. She has a pretty big temper when she doesn't get her way. But is now realizing that timeout is not a fun place to be. She loves dogs and babies. She has made a few boys at church a little angry because she thinks all kids are babies. So she will point and say "baby" and usually it is only to boys around the age of 4ish. They then turn to their parents and almost start crying. I think it is pretty funny but the parents probably wish I were dead. Payton says a lot of words these days such as bye bye, mommy, papa, doggy, happy, hi, and yes. She knows a lot of sign language too like please, thank-you, milk, and finished. She loves to watch TV and her favorite things to watch are Elmo and a show called The Backyardigans. She likes going for walks and going to the park so hopefully this summer will be nice.
Me - I am now working at home doing loan processing. My friend from Austin, TX owns the business and so I process the loans with her. I love it and wish I had started with her a long time ago. I am also doing a certificate program for Medical Claims and Billing. I just to have to do my final and I will be finished. So I'm really excited as it gives me income when the Real Estate Market is down. I also get to stay home with Payton and I get to see Mike a whole lot more. Ever since I got pregnant with Payton I have had a lot of ear problems. I finally went back to the specialists this week and found out that I have to have surgery to correct it. They will be putting tubes in my ears for the 4th time and doing a biospy on a growth that they have found. They will also be correcting my deviated septum. I am having it all done on May 14th. I'm excited to hear again but nervous for the surgery itself.
Mike was trying to show Payton a monkey that was in the trees. It was so cute! She was actually interested and was looking for the little guy and got excited when she actually was able to see him.
These guys were huge and fun to watch. All of a sudden they got up really quick and walked out of the little den area they were in. I thought it was a good picture.
So cute isn't it? Payton was trying to sprint and almost biffed it a few times. She just started this hand holding business. I think it is adorable.
