This Is Us

When we got rained out over memorial day weekend and had to come home, we decided to go ride the ATV's with Melissa's family. We went out to the desert and had a lot of fun. There were mud puddles everywhere. Xander and Melissa went through one, and Xander decided that he wanted to go again. So Melissa thought it would be fun to go through faster. So they did, and Melissa was covered from head to toe in mud. Now as most of you know Melissa does not like to be dirty, sticky, or anything like that. So we all were very surprised that she wasn't freaking out about it, and even more surprised when she went through more puddles. Over across the street Nick found a huge muddy-water pit. After a couple of times passing it, and really wanting to, he decided to drive through it. It went almost up to his knees. It was so cool. Brichette and Xander thought so too, and Nick talked Eric into going. Nick took Xander through, and Eric took Brichette and Joey. Then Eric and Nick talked Anth

Well, we really don't want to but we are selling our Pontiac Grand Prix SE. We have to many cars (Fiero, Mazda [given to us by our doctor], and the Durango) that we have decided that we don't need the Grand Prix. It is a great car, gets great gas mileage, and hasn't/doesn't have any problems. It's a 2000, has high miles, but a wonderful car that we haven't had to do more to it than the normal brakes, tires, etc. If anyone is interested please let us know, and we would appreciate it if you would spread the word about it also. We are asking $3,800.00 Here are some other pictures of it. Thank You!

So on Thursday we went in for the ultra sound and found out if our baby is a boy or girl. Our silly baby wouldn't show us until the very very end of it. Through out the whole ultra sound the couple of short shots that we did get Melissa thought Xander was right and we were having a girl. When the baby finally turned just right so we could see, there is no doubt that we are having a boy. They also changed the due date... about a week later December 10th. But hopefully he's like the other two and decides to come early. Brichette was 1 day and Xander was 3 days. The whole ride back to Melissa's parents house (to pick up the kids) we were preparing ourselves for the worst when we told Xander. When we got back they were outside playing. We had them come over to us and we told them that we know what their sibling is going to be. Xander was still so sure that he was having a baby sister that he said "Yeah, my baby sister." Melissa said "No Xander, you are

Just a little insight to our profile picture: It was the first day that it was warm enough to wear flip flops, and we were walking to Melissa's parent's house for dinner. Melissa thought it would be fun to have a picture of all four of us in flip flops... She just loves the picture.

We just wanted to thank all the Men and Women who have, is, and will fight for our freedom. We are so grateful to them for taking care of us and making it possible for us to have a free country to live in. We are also grateful to their families for supporting them and helping them through being away for long periods of time and at home. It takes very courageous, caring, and loving people to leave their families, friends, and everything they know to go hundreds of thousands of miles away to keep us all save. THANK YOU!!!

Sometimes we just don't understand people. We live in the USA, and want our money to stay here, correct? So why buy foreign vehicles??? If we buy GM, Ford, Dodge, etc. that creates jobs HERE in the USA, and keeps our money here to help our economy. People who by foreign vehicles are helping other countries... send our money over to them, creating jobs for them, and making it so companies here go out of business. Some government agencies and the Salt Lake City police buy Toyota cars. On the news the other night, one of the Salt Lake City Police Chief's said that they bought four Toyota Hybrids. They couldn't buy more because they cost so much, which means they have fewer police officers patrolling, which also means fewer jobs. What In The World Are They Thinking??? How dumb is that? Buy cars that don't help our economy, cost more so they can't buy as many, and less police out there getting the bad guys. DUMB!!! It's not like they last longer, get better gas milea
