Well, Hannah finally went and did it...she turned eight. THis is a picture of her in her Baptism dress (and no she didn't wear it in the water...got to love the jumpsuit). Grandma and Grandpa Gibbons came up to share her experience.

Catch up

The Fat Man is a slacker and hates to update his blog...so here goes...

I am in my 4th week of my 3rd class at University of Phoenix. Freaking Theory of Ethics...bleh...it's dry enough by it self...add in the theory pieces...zzzzzzzzz...sorry dozed off.

After much consideration, I made the small leap from using and updating at myspace.com to facebook...I got onto myspace to try and find friends from high school...yeah didn't happen. Facebook on the other hand has been has been a gold mine of finding.

We took some new family photos a couple of weeks ago that I will update once we purchase them...

Work changed again. Our regional manager has a vision of the QA Liaisons as Consultants more than Liaisons.
Good points:
  • I'm not working one-on-one with individual bankers
  • I get to use my adult teaching and coaching skills

Down side:

  • 1 day a week of Division Reports...bleh...

I got a new calling in the ward as a troop committee member. I am responsible for the records and advancement of the troop. Records were a mess...but we have it almost completely cleaned up.

New Beginings

Wow...as i looked at my blog, I realized just how big of a slacker I was...so here is my update.

After many years of having an almost complete degree in Business management, i am going back to school in August. I only have about a year and a half left to be done with it. I have decided that after i am done, i will be applying at NNU for their Distance MBA program. What can i say...it's time.

They family is doing well! Jessica is busy with her million and one projects that keep her going from day to day. She is in the process of finishing a blanket for Harrison (I'm sure she will post a picture of it on her blog).

Conner is getting ready for a huge summer. After vacation, he and Noah are going to California for 2 weeks. Camping, hiking, fishing, boating...pretty much anything that can be done in the outdoors. He is back for a week and leaves for scout camp. And then he is going on the Martin's cove trek with the youth from our ward.

Kaitlyn is busy playing little mom...yes Harrison would prefer to be with her at all times, unless of course he is hungry or tired.

Noah started on some new meds 2 months ago and has become quite the funny wise ass (Peter, I think that he could give you a run for your money.)

Hannah is busy being a girl, Lexi is freaken hilarious, and Bella is all about her.

Harrison is trying to crawl forward and sat up for the first time today.

Work is work...my responsibilities have changed again this year, so I seem to always be just a little bit behind all of the time. (it drives me nuts to be behind). Our center manager asked me 2 weeks ago when i was going to apply for a supervisor position...hmm, that would be an interesting change!

But other than that, life is life...it comes at you and you either learn how to move with the flow, or you don't...maybe the flow will slow down sometime in the future.
