Well, this is what is going on with us, since we haven’t really covered this topic lately on our blog. Things are going pretty smoothly lately. We are excited that it feels like summertime! We’ve been doing some projects around the house, such as working on sanding our deck to remove all the peeling paint. It’s been tedious, but we’ve appreciated the helpers we’ve had over! Pace sealed the left side of the deck day before yesterday, and it looks pretty nice.
We bought season passes to Seven Peaks Waterpark (Rachel, Pace, Chase, and I) which will open this weekend. Yes, Pace will still be working full time in the summer, but the park stays open well into the evening, so sometimes we’ll meet there after he gets off work. It will be a lot of fun, especially because it has several kid-friendly areas for Chase and his little neighbor friends to play in.
Along with doing some websites on the side, Pace is currently working for a small company out of Novell. He enjoys it okay, and they seem to appreciate his sense of humor, too! I have taken on the job of customer service (answering phone calls and emails) for Pace and Jason’s website LDSstock.com. The website has been a very successful e-commerce endeavor of theirs. We get several orders a day, and I have been busier with it than I ever could have hoped ;).
I also enjoy spending a lot of time with a couple of our neighbors (Trena and Becky), and Chase loves playing with their kids more than anything, so that’s a plus. We have planned a few exciting camping trips with them this summer! Now all we need is a couple sleeping bags…
More exciting events are that Rachel will be returning to Utah this weekend, TMom and Jess will be visiting at the beginning of June and helping with the garden (yay!), then McMom arrives at the end of June, after which Tyler will join her here in July!
As for Chase, he has officially said good-bye to crawling. He loves walking and running and bumping his head about 15 times a day. He has been saying some new words, including “apple (pronounced “ap-pow”). He requests apples regularly, I think just because he’s excited that I know what he’s saying for once. He is a pretty happy kid as long as we play outside and with his friends for several hours a day. He still gets up in the night sometimes, but nothing like he used to, so that’s fine! He’s a good boy and we’re glad he’s so entertaining to have around!
So that’s the summary of our current events– thanks for reading!
