It been so long

Sorry that it has been so long sinse I have updated the blog. We are in the middle of madness. We miss our dad who has had to work 13 hour days for 8-9 straight days before having 1 day off before he goes back to do it all again. He leaves just after 4am and get home somewhere between 6:30 -7pm. His site is doing what they call a "turn around." That means they change out all the equipment. It only happens every 7 years and Colby happended to start working there just before the turn around. This crazyness will only last another two, maybe three weeks, and we are all glad it's coming to an end. Being the only parent around has been crazy, leaving no time for things like updating this blog. But I did however want to post Caden and Jacob's pinewood durby race pictures from a week ago and give an update on our family. Caden had to share something this week that started with the letter L so he came up with the idea of sharing his 'little sister." He told the class about his sister and then there was about a 20min question answer time about his sister. He showed the kids how he plays peek-a-boo with her and how he makes her dance around. I am so surprised that the navelty of a little sister has not worn off yet. Caden LOVES his sister.
Sinse dad has been soooo busy at work, I had to help make the pinewood durby cars. Yes, I had three brothers but never paid attention to how the cars get made. We were very impressed that Jacob came in 4th and Caden came in 5th place in our stake with our first experience since there cars losts wheels in the car on the ride overto the church.(That's another story.) It was nice that dad got home just in time to go to the race. The funniest part was how for dad it was a flashback to his pinewood dury days. Same building, same judge (at least the one on the left) same cubmaster at the starting line telling the boys how to put their cars on the line. See not everything changes.

I know the feeling of being the only parent around and it seems like the days are never ending sometimes! You should bring the kids up to the pool one day!
