2007 so far for us has been a great year. Cortney is back going strong at work and loving it. He started the year off with a raise - yeah, and of course that always helps. The owner of the course has been so impressed by Brian the super and Cortney. He was out of town for a couple of weeks and had a long list for them to do when he returned. But, to his surprise everything on the list had already been taken care of. They make a great team and Golden can't believe he can ask them to do something and they will. We are so lucky and greatful for his great job. Cortney is also the Webelos scout master or whatever you call it. The boys in our group come from pretty broken homes and Cortney really has to work hard to get the boys there. They are loving him and I think they are pretty lucky to have someone like Cortney to look over them. Cortney also now has two scouts and a new suzuki samari (Well not new it hasn't run in 7 years). He rebuilt the carbarator all by himself, and now it runs. He loves working on cars! I have tried for seven years to get the car lover that he inherited from his father out of him. It didn't work so now I am trying to embrace it. He has a friend that is a mechanic and they fixed our main car the 5th cylinder wasn't firing and they fixed it. I was so impressed. We are also working on getting our back yard seeded. Cameron and Cort put in a sprinkler system last year and now all we need is grass. I CAN'T WAIT. I love our house and can't wait for the kids to play out side. Our neighborhood is part of an area in Orem where they think they have found the Japaneese Beetle. It is a nasty little bug that ruins everything. So they are spraying a big 3 mile square of orem and everyone that lives there can't harvest a garden for 3 WHOLE YEARS. BUMMER!!!! The spray is too toxic to eat garden yield. They will be supplying community plots but who wants to travel to garden. I will most likely have one at my sisters since she has such a huge lot anyways.
I have been doing the same old same old. Being a mom. I love it. I love my house and my ward. We live in a very needy ward...needy for people who will accept a calling. I am the miamaids advisor and also the R.S enrichment publisist. I am loving being in Young Womens and was quite a shock that Oliver is closer to them in age than I am. They seem to think I am pretty "cool" for a leader though and I have made friends with almost everyone. I also will be going to girls camp June 5-9th so that will be interesting...and fun. I am in the best health of my life and it has been almost 6 months since I have been on all my medications. My life is awesome. Everyday I think to myself how greatful I am for everything and how blessed we are. Because of the study I am in I can't get pregnant for two more years...It has really been a blessing in disquise to not have to worry about being pregnant and having a new born again for a while. I love the opportunity to take a guilt free break. My kids are awesome great ages and Rob has 6 more Sundays untill nursery. YES! Right now I am visiting my parents in Washington, while Cortney goes to Vegas for March Madness. I am one lucky lady.
Oliver has unfortunatly this month discovered video games. He is obsessed with Lego Star Wars and everything associated with it. All he talks about is Princess Leia and General Grevas (I have no idea how you spell it). He loves it. He is about to turn four in June and is such a grown boy. We are really working on him being nice...having chores...obeying...being nice to brother...and talking in a nice tone. It is hard for both of us. He is so smart and his vocabulary is so advanced (thanks to a mom that never stops talking) So he has the best arguements. He knows what to say and ofcourse always says it. He will be starting T-ball and soccer this year so that is new uncharted territory for us. He is a good boy though and loves us.
Rob is awesome. His best talents are eating and sleeping. He loves both with a passion. I have never seen someone love food so much. He adores it. He is so good and so cute. He and Ollie love to fight but we are working on that. He still is only saying MOMMY....Me..Ollie...NOOOOOO and ball. He refuses to say Dada and will only call Cort MOM.
That is all family. I love you all so much. Sorry I am so late. I will send pictures when I get back from Washington.
LOVE YOUAshley...Cortney...Oliver...R.O.B.
