For those of you just tuning in...

Quick run down of last couple months:

Eric FINALLY started the nursing program at SLCC in Jan! It's hard work, but he's doing well and enjoying it. The end of this month will mark the end of his FIRST semester! 3 more to go! He will graduate December 2009! (He started back to school Spring 2002. After several semesters of pre-reqs, he's been on the waiting list forever.) Imagine, we started this path when we only had 2 toddlers. Now we have 6 kids. Don't talk me about time flying.

Because of school (and the many, many hours of studying), Eric has gone to part-time work at Terminix. Here's his schedule: Monday: School all day. Tueday: Work. Wednesday: School. Thurday: School and 1-2 Tests. Friday: Work. Saturday: Work. From 3:45-8:30 he's in charge of the kiddos, and after 8pm each night, he studies, often till midnight. Satuday and Sunday he studys every "spare" moment too.

Shayla started working at Bushi Ban Karate (you can see the site she made: http://www.bushiban-utah.com/) in December. Tuesday-Friday 4-8pm (or later). She likes working there, but it is HARD being a working mama. It has helped incredibly that Eric happens to be a FABULOUS "stay at home daddy" every evening. Seriously, he rocks.

Spencer, Jordan and Ethan have been in karate since Feb. They love it, especially Spencer. Spencer and Jordan are now gold belts, and Ethan is a gold-white(he's a Lil' Dragon).

We left the one-car-family circut and bought a "new" car. 94' (or 95'?) Subaru Legacy/outback. It's spent more time in the shop then being driving. But we think it's now operational. It's a nice little car.

Eric and Shayla celebrated their 10 year anniversary on March 21st.

Shayla has had pneumonia for the last several weeks. She's worn out and can't do much but lay around, hence, you get a family blog!
