AHHHHH!!!

So it has been over a year and a Half since I have blogged!! I don't even think anyone reads this anymore. I mostly update on Facebook, but occasionally I think about this little space on the internet that I still have and I miss doing it. I also miss keeping up to date with everyone.
 Where to begin with all that needs updated. Let me give a touch of a summary and then I will see what pics I have to add :)
Harlee: She is in 5th grade. Just turned 11 years old. Reads like crazy. Loves fantasy movies and books. Is a super fabulous student, perfectionist, and just did a spelling bee with her grade and got into the top 10. I don't know how many kids there were, but she said a lot! :)
Bodie: This cute boy just turned 8 yrs old and got baptized. He is in 2nd grade. Got glasses this year and looks super handsome! (I'm not just saying that either, he really does). Loves to explore, build, create stuff and ride his bike. He is super fabulous at math and it comes really easy to him. He just started scouts 4 weeks ago and almost has his bobcat done. We are so proud of him.
Jax: This small guy is busy!!! He LOVES cars and trucks and motorcycles and 4 wheelers, and tractors and airplanes, and trains, and boats.....am I forgetting any mode of transportation??? Cause he loves them all. He is constantly playing and imagining with his toys, or he is drawing them. His specialty is Monster trucks and has about 6 cut out and taped to his wall. He gives each one a guy driving with their name on it and lightening bolts and numbers. He always asks me what Dad's friends names are so he can have me write it on the trucks. He is in preschool and can write his name real well and do most of the alphabet in sign language with a little help.
Travis: He is working out at the Idaho National Laboratory in the transportation department. He loves his job because of the freedom it gives him. He has a decent schedule that allows him to also drive fuel truck on the side if he wants to. He loves operating heavy equipment and that includes driving semis on the weekends and days off. Any chance he gets, he loves to ride dirt bikes, road bikes, snowmobiles, and date me. Some of those activities are combined too. Like dating me on a road bike. We both enjoy that when the weather permits. He built a shop last year and is hoping to finish it up this year with big doors and closing off the front. He has never known how to take a day off and so is always busy doing something. He is a wonderful husband, father and provider!
Me (Heather, in case you didn't know who was narrating): I keep busy making baby bracelets for a company called BoogaLoo Bracelets. I have been doing this for about 5 years, but working for BoogaLoo for about 2.5 years. It has been super wonderful and allows me to set my own hours working from home.  I love to be in the kids' schools helping when I can. I volunteer once a week in Jax's preschool and twice a month in Bodie's school and any chance I can get helping in Harlee's school. I also have the blessing of working with the Young Women in our ward. I adore this calling and have learned so much from the girls and the lessons and it is just so great!!
Needless to say, even though we have had our share of trials and continue to struggle here and there, we know we are very blessed. Hopefully I have some pictures to reflect the past 1.5+ years.....
