hello

Not much new going on in our lives. We went to st. george with some friends for spring break and had a great time We went hiking, explored ghost towns and did lots of swimming. Brady has made a couple trips to California over the last few months. I went to Ohio to visit a friend and do a vinyl party last week. I had a lot of fun, and the party went really well.

Elizabeth is staying with us for a few months while her husband is at basic training. We are really enjoying having her around. She is a great help around here.

Well, at some point Ill take a minute and post some pictures... hope all is well with all of you.

BushCreative

So I don't know how many of you have heard about my new business. I have started a business named BushCreative where I sell custom vinyl lettering for home decor. I am working on getting my website up. It's been alot of fun, and Im actually getting pretty busy. I do most of my sales at Parties, and am doing one a week.

This is a sample of a 12x12 tile that is ne f my best sellers.

Anyway, today has been a day all about my plotter, (the machine used for cutting vinyl.) I started having prblems a week ago today and was told to get a new mother board by my supplier. It got here today and no fix. Very frustrating!!!! So tomorrow I am ordering a new machine, bigger and better from a diffferent supplier. I cant wait. It should be here by the weekend.

Anyway, when my site gets up Ill let you all know.

We had so much fun early this year with Amandas family in Disneyland. A large portion of the sisters, brother in laws, and the grandkids were able to be there, but we missed thosed that couldnt make it. It was ecspecialy special for my family as we have very little contact with these cousins. My kids loved making new friends and seeing the huge family they are part of.

I have been following a little of Amy blog on her trip, and have been talking to Tammy. She's right.. this would e a great way for us all to keep in touch.

Not to much is going on here. My Vinyl business is going well, doing a party a week. Except my plotter just broke. I'm waiting on a new mother board so I can get my orders done. Brady is still really busy. We have picked up a parade of homes home, so that will be good advertising. His travel had picked up a lot again, doing more work in California now.

T is getting ready to get baptised. He is very excited. K is taking private gymnastics (from her mom) and C is working on his reading. The level 5 team I coach has started their competition season, so that is starting to take up more time, but I can take the kids with me and they enjoy it for the most part.

G&G O spent the last few months with us. It was great to have them here and the time pasted to quickly. Dad re did my kitchen for me, Ill have to take som pictures and get them up here. Its amazing the difference it has made.

Later that same day.....

So I'm trying to get this blog thing down and figure out how to send you all links. So I guess I'll add a little more info. "K"- started 3rd grade and is loving school. She has decided she wants to be a rock star or a doctor. She is very creative and very proud of the fact she has great eating habits. We went to lunch at a cafe on Saturday, the boys ordered hot dogs, dad got a prime rib sandwich, mom ordered a cheeseburger and K ordered a bowl of veggie soup and a side salad with FF Italian dressing. WOW- wish that was my preference. Sure would make this weight loss thing go quicker. "T"- who is now in 2nd, so apparently now he's a big kid. T- came home the first day and told me how the 1st grades thought they were so much cooler than the kindergartners and were being mean, so T and his friends came to their defence and said- "yeah, but we are 2nd graders so"shoo, shoo"" with a flick of the wrist indicating they were dismissed. We died laughing. He keeps us in stitches with his comments and naive observation of the world. "C"- started preschool at the same school as his siblings so now he's one of the big kids because he gets to go in the morning just like them he was quiet disappointed though when I picked him up and they weren't coming home also. (OK, I know that one was a run on sentence, but remember no judging.)

Please note the "x" as this is a public blog I'll try and avoid too much personal info. But I am going to post Pict, so I don't know if that by passes the point. but I don't want you all to have to log in every time I post. So I guess the next project is to figure out how to post pics. Maybe well start with our camping trip a week or so ago.

Jumping on the bandwagon

So I've been watching Kenz and her family doing the Blog~Thing for a couple months. Then today I saw Linda's, and decided it was time to get one up, and just jump on the bandwagon. Please no judgements on grammar or spelling as neither is my string suit and this is more about info right?

So to my many sisters and brothers, I am hoping you all might jump on too. I feel like I miss so much being so far away. I probably couldn't pick out more that a handful of my neices and nephews out of a crowd.

Life is good here. Most of you know we left the security of full time employment a little over a year ago adn are now SELF EMPLOYED and loving every moment. Ok maybe not the ones when there's no money, but other than that, we love it. We are running a home automation and home theater comany, and things are going well we've picked up a few contractors, and they are keeping us pretty busy. So busy Corey (Brady's brother) is now working with us full time.

So I do all the bookkeeping, contracts, bids, ordering; Brady handles sales, programming adn install and Corey does install full-time.

Well, I guess that's were Ill end for now. Gotta run off to work...oh, thats my other job. i am coaching gymnastics part time too!!!! But Ill save that for later. I hope to get some picts posted later also.

Love ya all, Amanda
