Emilee on Mathew's quad.

Emilee and Kialey getting ready to go to the back side of the dunes for hours of fun.

THE GIRLS RIDING QUADS.... Kialey is on Mathew's quad and Emilee is on Jaden's quad (neighbors son). Emilee loved it so much that she said she wants it to be one of her intrests in life. Maybe we will get her a quad instead of a car when she is 16.

Mathew is getting ready to ride his quad. We only have two kids quads (250's). So all 5 kids have to share. But once Mathew was on there was no getting him off. He loves his quad. He is so funny he won't ride his quad on small hills, but he loves going in circles around the outside of camp. He said he wants to stay where it's flat and safe. But he will ride the hills in the field behind our house. What a silly guy.

Che'anne would sit and play in the sand for hours. She says she wants to go camping there again, just to play in the sand.

This is what is one the other side of the dune for anyone who hasn't been there or has been there but never went to the top or the other side. Emilee went to the other side with friends and rode quads for hours over there. She said she had the time of her life ride quads with Josh and LeeAnn. Emilee wants a quad of her own now. What did we start???

We went to the Sand Dunes with neighbors for a 3 day 2 night camping trip. This was a different kind of camping for the kids and I. We are use to mountain and lake side camping. You have to bring your own shade out at the dunes. We had so much fun that weekend. We took Mathew and Che'annes quads with us. Mathew, Emilee, Kialey and Brayden had fun riding the quads around camp. Bryan took me to the top of the 750 foot dune on our neighbors quad. It was really scary. I will NEVER do it again, but at least I can say I've been to the top on a quad.

I looked at all my options and this seems to be the best for me with the economy the way it is. I have enrolled with Fortis College and start school April 20,2009, I will graduate March 25, 2010. My courses will include: General Anatomy & Physiology for Allied Dental Professionals, Dental Assisting Procedures and Restorative Applications, Dental Specialties and Expanded Functions, Dental Materials/Prostheses Fabrication, Radiology, Computer Applications and Billing, Dental Office Procedures, Dental Assisting Seminar, Dental Clinical I, Dental Clinical II.

I enrolled in college 3-9-09. I will be going to Fortis College to become a Dental Assistant. I am very excited and I am looking forward to having a career when I finish school. I can't be a stay at home mom forever. My kids are finally old enough that going to school can finally become a reality for me. I have a lot of support in this, which makes it nice. I start school mid April. I have an appointment with financial aide the first week of April. Fortis is a brand new school. Which is nice because we get to work with new matrials and machines. They don't want the students to be just a number in the classrooms, so they plan on keeping the classes small. 16 people in the labs, 28 people per classroom, with only 2 classrooms for Dental assisting. Classes are day or night. I will be going during the day. I will go 3 days a week for a total of 20 hours a week. The course lasts 9 months. They have a dental office set up in the school, so that there is a lot of hands on. I am really looking forward to this. I think this will be a great step for me in life.

Bryan and I being silly with our friends Craig and Kim in Wendover. What a BLAST!

I haven't had this much fun in a really long time. And Bryan says this is just the begining of our adventures.
