Family Pictures Gone Bad!

So the catalyst for starting a blog was our latest attempt at a round of family pictures.
The four of us went out with my sister, Jamie, as our photographer. We went to a couple of different sights to capture just the right shot. Things went very well at the first two photo spots and let's just say we ended our session rather promptly at a FOUNTAIN!!Scott thought it would be fun to hold me in his arms and to use the fountain as a nice backdrop. What he didn't know was when he took a step back to get a little closer to the fountain that there was a drop off!! My sister did not miss a beat and snapped pictures through our entire wet ordeal!! ENJOY...















We've joined the world of blogging!


I have enjoyed reading so many people's blogs and finally decided to start one for our family. I hope to preserve some memories of our fleeting days and stay in better touch with our friends and family both in and out of town!

So, what's going on exactly with us?? Here a few highlights to get you up to speed with our lives.

We started the school year in August with lots of changes. Scott had his previous position of 6 years eliminated due to budget cuts and has found himself back in the classroom. He is a 4th grade teacher and although it's been quite an adjustment, he has an incredible group of students he has the privilege of working with everyday. At night Scott juggles his evenings with coaching Brandon's club soccer team and teaching 1 night a week at ASU.
I continue to love doing Pampered Chef. I have a fabulous group of consultants that I train and gain inspiration from and many loyal hosts and customers that keep my business going even in the midst of our crazy economic times. (Thanks to God for his provision each and every month!) I find myself being a crazy soccer mom on Saturday mornings, escaping with a good book whenever I get a chance and sometimes sitting amazed at how fast the days are passing.
Tyler has entered Junior High School. He went to a new school (Mesa Academy for Advanced Studies) without any friends that he knew. He has now made many friends and is having a great year. When he's not studying, he's playing soccer for Mesa Soccer Club.
Brandon loves 6th grade. He is the President at school, enjoys playing the Bass in the orchestra and gives a great sports report each week on the school broadcasting news. He has lots of special events to look forward to during his last year at elementary school.
