This week Matt worked again while we played and he joined us for any fun he could after work.  We had his first flag football game, went to the Thanksgiving Point farms, we went to seven peaks with some friends but got rained out so we ended up going to Jones' hot tub instead.  We played at Woods house and then had the Bennett family pictures and grandpa took us all out for ice cream after.  Taelyn had her first soccer game and loved it!  After her soccer game we went down to Rassmussens ranch and played in the water and sand all day!  Brox got really sick on Friday and still has a fever and moans a lot, but he is still being a trooper.  He is now sleeping in a big kid bed!

This week Matt had to work long hours Monday - Wednesday.  The kids and I went to a few splash parks and swimming to pass the long hours.  One of the days the kids got babysat by grandma while I went with my sisters for a "mom day".  After work on Thursday, we went and got dinner and went to the park as a family.  Friday night we went camping in our friends back yard (and saw an owl) and then Saturday we went out to breakfast, swimming, and went to get ice cream.  We had a week full of fun!  Brox said "dada" for the first time this week.

Matt and I have been married for 6 years now.  Matt is working for Blue Host and continuing to do his epoxy floor business on the side.  I stay home with our 3 beautiful children... Taelyn (4), Savanna (2), and Brox (7 months).  Life is crazy and we love it.  We are starting this journal to capture more moments with our children.

The past 6 years... We have moved 7 times (pg, provo, lehi, lehi, orem, and are currently living in Eagle Mountain.)  Each place we have rented has been between $575-$800/month.  Matt has had several jobs and has always provided well for us.  Some jobs have been geneva rock, temp services, sales jobs, and his epoxy floors.  After I graduated college in 2007 I had our first baby and have been able to live my dream as a stay at home mom!  We just keep adding to our family and I couldn't be happier.  Money is tight and somehow keeps getting tighter, but we are just enjoying living day to day and figuring out this crazy world together.
