Family Blogger

I realized the other day that there are two types of bloggers. The entertaining type and the family type. The entertaining bloggers are good writers and appeal to alot of people. They always have something funny or interesting to write about. The family bloggers have alot of pictures of there kids and vacations and things they're doing. Unless you are family or know the person, you really don't care to read their blog. There are a few people that have a ballance but most fall under these labels. I'm a family blogger, sorry people. So enjoy all 5 of my new posts and ALOT of pictures of my kids :)

Cousin time

We went to the zoo with all of Zac's ( and Ty's) cousins and they had a blast! We weren't there for more then 5 minutes when he had to go in timeout for running off. After he chilled out ( just a bit) we had a great time. We saw so many animals and they were all very active. Tyson had the most fun on the train. Zac loved the snake and the carousel.









Big Boys

Tyson and Zac both have new car-seats and they love it!


Tyson's diet

Do you remember this post? Well I'm far from spending that at the store now. We have to take a trip and go to the health food stores in the neighborhood because.....Tyson has to stay away from the top five allergies.
  • Dairy
  • Wheat
  • Soy
  • Egg
  • Nuts
On top of that Tyson is a very picky eater. It's not to bad if I'm at home and can make a meal for him but the snack food is what I can't find. Finally, I gave in and went to Good Earth ($$$$$$). Zac loves that store because it has the little shopping carts. I love that store because the food and I can find stuff for Tyson.

I've found some cool stuff. It's crazy to me that food without all those ingredients can still taste good. I even found a cake mix so Tyson can have a cake for his birthday : ). All of this food cost around $70. But at the end of the day it is worth every penny to know he's healthy.


Zachary graduated from his first year of Preschool.

Zachary had the pleasure of being part of a neighborhood preschool that was one day a week. It was perfect for his age and help with his social skills. He is signed up for a preschool that is in Harvest Hills for next year. My little boy is so grown up.

Hard work

As most of you already know.....Ethan puts in long, hard hours at work (around 70-80 hours a week). I know I've complained and complained about him being overworked, he Never gets to see his kids, and I NEVER get a break. Now I want to tell you somethings that are positive about his job.
#1 He has a job! But not just any job, a job that has alot of opportunity for advancement.
#2 He works in Ogden now. It's a LONG drive for Ethan and it's been an adjustment but it's a promotion (kind of). The store in Ogden is the best and busiest in the state so if he does well there he is on his way to becoming a market manager.
#3 He loves his job!
#4 Cash America (that's Ethan company) is a Fortune 500 and is one of the few companies that is doing well, even growing!
#5 He has job security.
#6 We get amazing deals on everything!
#7 He has learned some amazing skills. He's gone to Texas twice for training. He knows just as much about jewelry as a jeweler would.
#8 Ethan does a great job at having the respect for his employes and customers. He has worked at three different stores now and he has customers that follow him wherever he goes.

We've been lucky that he's had job threw it all. It has put food on the table and a roof over our heads. I love you Ethan, thanks for all your HARD WORK!
