BAMBOOZLED
At our old house we had a fish tank. Well at the new house I really didn't want to deal with a fish tank. Heavens we have three dogs, a hamster and a little fish tank with one apustomus that was left from the other tank. Well my husband has been making comments lately about setting up the tank. This is not a small tank we are talking 60 gallons. I told him no because all of the wood around the house is black and this fish tank is oak. We have no oak in our house!!!! Last week my husband comes literally running in the house to tell me there is a 60 gallon fish tank on Craig's List for less the $100 with the stand and all the pumps. (If I have not mentioned it before, I HATE CRAIG'S LIST!) Of course Rylan is standing there just as excited as Jordan. I told him if THEY were going to do it all they could have it. Jordan called the lady and it turns out that they lived right down the street from us. The boys went and picked it up. I wanted to put it in the kitchen breakfast nook, but I lost that discussion because the boys wanted it were you could sit and look at it. It is now behind my couch, on the carpet. I look at it as a good excuse to get new carpet when water gets every where. The boys went to the pet store and got a ton of fish. Not to mention Jordan has come home almost every day with either more fish, plants or something for the tank. All in all Jordan and Rylan are so happy and that's all that matters.The water is still settling after filling up the tank
Jordan and I have been married 7 years. We met through my sister 11 years ago. We dated off and on; both went to different colleges and when we moved back to Las Vegas, decided we were meant for one another.
Rylan is 9 years old, and in 3rd grade. He is such an easy going person and a true joy in our home. Rylan has been taking a Tumbling and Trampoline class. He has moved up classes already and is loving every minute. He is getting very good at photography and wants to take pictures of animals when he grows up. Rylan enjoys playing with his friends and they spend a lot of time on their bikes. He loves the water and has become a very good swimmer. He loves his little sister and brother so much and is a great big brother.
PAISLEE LORILYN
Paislee is 7, and in 1st grade. She loves every minute of being in school and at Rylan’s school. She enjoys coloring and playing with her dolls. She decided she wanted to take a brake from dance and started playing soccer. I can't believe how well she is doing with soccer. She is a very good defender. She is becoming very social and loves play dates with girls from her class. She is very much her daddy's little girl. Needless to say she has him wrapped around her finger.
AXTAN GEORGE
Axtan, who we call George more than Axtan is such a joy to have in our home. He is 3 now and three's are worse than two's. He gives me a run for my money but I love it. He is such a trooper, as long as he has the iPad he sits in his car seat through all my many errands. His favorite thing right now is Super Hero's, especially Bat Man! He enjoys playing outside. Anything brother and sister can do, he can do and loves trying.
Jordan
Jordan has branched off in his Construction career, he is selling real estate and truly enjoying every minute of it. Jordan closed in our formal living room and now has a home office. The kids and I are loving having him home more He has been serving as the Young Mens Priest Quorum Advisor. It has been an adjustment working with the youth, but he is doing a great job.
HOLLY
I am happy to say my life is extremely busy and I wouldn't change a thing! I was called to be in our wards Primary Presidency and am learning to enjoy the calling. I am serving as 1st VP over at the elementary school PTSO board, and I am spending a lot of time at the school. I spend lots of time in the car driving the kids from one activity to another. I would say though, I truly enjoy playing and trying to keep up with my three very wild and crazy children!
