It's Officially Official

I am a REALTOR!!! Hooray! It only took me a year and two months to finish, but I passed my final Real Estate Test a few weeks ago, and I've signed on with Osmond Real Estate in Spanish Fork. I put our Townhouse up for sale this week (the sign out front has my name on it and everything-teehee!). I even have one of those awesome Risco ReaderKeys that I can use to get into houses....How fun is that? Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I am done! HOORAY!!!! Here is my business card proof. I'm so official!!!

Lake Powell-October 2008

Well, here is my excuse for being a very negligent blogger.....Life has been absolutely insane, and I am so behind with my blogging, that I don't know where to start anymore. I've finally decided to just get Lake Powell done and then I can work from there, so a few weeks ago, we went to Lake Powell with Dan's family and it was so much fun. I know, I lead a very rough life -heehee.  Dan's Mom and Dad decided to try going to Lake Powell late in the season this year, for those of us in the family who missed the June and August trips they made. They have since decided that we will make it a tradition because it was so wonderful. The water was still plenty warm, but the days weren't too hot and the lake was so empty!! It was like having all of Lake Powell to ourselves for the most part. We had such an awesome trip!The kids spent about 99% of their time playing on this beach. Aidan kept telling me, "Mom, I play sand, I play dirt". They had such a great time.
Doesn't he look like he's having a great time???Dan went knee boarding (just for the heck of it) and it looked so weird, like he was floating on the water, or walking just beneath the surface really fast. Anyway, I thought it was a cool picture.Aidan and Reese were so cute together. Aidan was a little punk though, he kept trying to steal Reese's baby doll she brought with her. He's never really had a chance to play with a doll before, so I think he was fascinated. One night, Dan caught him about to dunk her head first into the lake. I caught him washing her in a tub of water on the back of the boat one day (and she is not a waterproof type of doll!). Dan's neice and nephew "Camryn and Gavon" caught these adorable little frogs one day and I absolutely loved them. The kids all loved playing with them of course, but I felt like I was more fascinated than any of the kids. I've been tempted ever since to buy my kids some pet frogs, if only animals didn't stink, I might.
