summer so far!

I love this time of year. The weather isn't as hot and tyring. I love to plant new flowers and vegetables. I even enjoy all this rain.We always start of our summer with a 4 H lamb and it is always exciting at first, but come late summer it gets to be a chore. Lacey learns a lot and we have fun at the fair and we get to spend time with our good friends.
Our family is changing all the time. Having Peter home is wonderful and I think he has adjusted very well. It is hard to adjust to the real world. Peter has grown so much but he is the same goofy guy we know and love. He has a very strong testimony of the gospel and we are so proud of him.
Peter has been putting in applications in everywhere that he can think of. Not many people are hiring but he is optimistic he will find some kind of work. He has a good out look on life and what he wants to do in the future. He signed up to go to Wyo Tech in Laramie Wyoming. He will enter the diesel mechanic school. It is one of the best Tech schools in the country. It is kind of expensive but he will be done in 9 months and the schools really work hard in finding them a job after graduation. He has a little time before he goes. He leaves January 5th. We will miss him but we are glad for this chance that he has to better himself.
Alex has taken a second job so he can save for school this fall. and he also wants to save for a new car or truck. His old one is just about dead.
Andy continues to look for work but he is kind of picky and not as motivated as he should be. He is back to his hairy ways. You can always tell when he is interested in a girl he decides to get his hair cut and shave his beard. But we love him know matter what. He will be back at USU in the fall.
Lacey has been busy with the lambs again this year. She has also joined cross country but it is very hard for her since she hasn't had much experience in running. but she is trying and everyday that she runs it will get easier.
J.J. and Sam and Rocky are doing just fine. We miss them and we pray everyday that he can find a job. Hopefully it wont be to much longer before he can find work. He is mostly bored. Sam is working for a law office and baby rocky is walking and giving his dad grief as it should be.
I have been working a few days at the summer lunch program and I really enjoy it! Next year I will be working at a elementary school. I think it will be fun and I will enjoy the little kids and less stress of work. I will miss all the wonderful ladies at the middle school. They are some good friends and I hope to work with them again someday.
I have also had the opportunity to go with John in the Truck. It is great that I can just spend some time with my best friend.
I also have planted a salsa garden and a small flower garden. I also want to spend time finishing up some crafts that I started. My list of things I want to do can go on and on. But one thing that I didn't mention is that summertime should be relaxing and enjoyable. I am trying hard not to over schedule and stress over it not getting done.
And as you can see our summer is going well, There is always so much to do and so short of time to do it. So just take it easy this summer. That is what I plan on doing.
