Been Gone for Awhile...

Wow how time flies it has literally been almost 5 years since I blogged last!!!  So a quick review is in order:
Heather:  finished her PA schooling in Pennsylvania with flying colors and got a job at MINIDOKA Memorial Hospital in Rupert, ID.   She works a ton to provide for our family and I am so proud of her!
Jaron:  I was able to leave the hospitality industry with Heather's help and income :) and am currently teaching private voice, piano, and guitar lessons from home. 
Emmaline:  continues to be a creative spirit!  She is currently working on a you tube series including some of my favorite actors... her siblings!  She also starred in the Musical Annie last spring and did an amazing job!
Carter:  is growing up so fast!  He finished with cub scouts and is now in the 11 year old boy scouts (of which I am the leader!). He loves to play any kind of strategy game and takes good care of his little brother and sister
Ashton:  was baptized last year and continues to grow and mature.  He loves to play and build his legos and is planning a fun trip to the theatre to see the Lego movie with his family for his upcoming Birthday!
Lilly:  Turned 6 this year and is quite the miss sassy pants.  She enjoys learning to play the piano and go to tumbling... but most of all she loves to play with her older siblings and close friends.

New Car!

So I got the new car home and we got the windshield replaced so we can get it registered in the next day or so. I had no idea that windshields were so expensive!! $180 dollars to replace it, and I wouldn't have even done it except that Utah's rules to register your vehicle are retarded. It wasn't impairing vision or anything so.....anyway it's done and between that and Van repairs we are gonna be tightening up that belt the rest of the month :) At least my wife has become the budgeting guru and let's me know just what we can and can't do :) Anyways we are glad to have vehicles and extremely grateful for all the help and blessings we have received.

My trip to Boise

So i had to make a quick run to Boise to pick up our new to us car. Thanks again to Heather's Dad for all the help. While i was there anna and DJ had their baby and i got to see him ! Below is Boston elliott eberlin (Sorry if the spelling is wrong) i will also post pics of the car above

Floor finished

Well the floor is done now all that is needed is for the carpet to be stretched and that will have to wait until grandma and grandpa get home and can get all their stuff out of the room, but no more ruined floor !

Our progress

All the bad floor tore up and ready to lay new boards
