Hi

I have been soooo bad at this lately but it is soooo busy still with the holidays and the kids out of school and Travis working so much that I am exhausted! I can't sleep well at night and I'm up every morning early with the kids, but enough about that. We are gearing up for a busy New Years Eve, Travis will be doing the free tows home and we go to the shop to support him until midnight the kids enjoy it and there are lots of employees there on the evening to work so the families get together and have snacks and food. I am sad to report that I did take down my tree two days ago and yes it did take me that long, I am not the next day kind of woman with the disaster that is my house after the kids open all their gifts. I also worked Christmas day and I'm just getting a day off tomorrow so I have not had time off from work to do a whole lot. I love all of the snow and yes Christmas day was crazy I have pics and will try to post tomorrow of the pile up of snow on my front porch. Travis got me diamond earrings and a heart necklace with a small diamond on it; I would like to say I'm not a diamond girl but I would be lying so I won't. Lol! I hope to be back tomorrow with pics, Later, Amy

ribbon cutting

So a quick post tonight after work, thank goodness I have tomarrow off! Poor Travis has worked night and day with all this snow and is keeping very busy. We are still waiting on the bank, as always, for news on the house. I am getting more excited now to have some space that will be ours. I am going back to my old schedule of 9am to 2pm with Tuesday and Wednesday off, but it may be temporary if they offer me a permanent position with the coaching team, but nothing firm yet. Now on 12/15/08 Denny's Wrecker a.k.a. Travis' work had a ribbon cutting ceremony with the mayor of Chubbuck and a news crew for new management for the shop. Denny and Shirley are ready to be done running this shop and getting ready for DeAnn, Stephanie and Travis to take over. So here are some pictures of just that, ribbon cutting and interview. We had Christmas with Travis' mom and Larry on Sunday and had a wonderful time even though we were missing Kyle, Kayla's husband (Travis' neice), he has been in the hospital with a stomach bug of some sort.

Santa

Okay if your children still believe in Santa dont let them read this one! Travis played Santa for a group small cheer squad and then came to my mom's house and visited our children. We really enjoyed it but later when my mom asked Trevor who that was in the photo with him he told her it was Daddy. Grandma being the smart woman she is told him it was Santa so Trevor said "Yes, Daddy Santa!" There is no fooling your own children but we still enjoyed the evening. Later, Amy

fixed i hope

Okay so I am really going to have to do this fast. Travis is going on about 5 hours of sleep and wants to go home! I think I have got my pictures working, but again very busy week still ahead so I will try to post again very soon. These are of Trevor in the snow; he loves it and makes snowballs to throw at everyone. This snow suit might be a bit too small but he didnt seem to mind and it kept him very warm when Grandma Margaret let him out to play.

Hi

Well, my friend Jenni has been at it again; she updated my blog and it looks amazing! So thanks so much Jenni, I love it! Things are crazy and I work late now so I haven't gotten much done. We are busy getting things started for the T.o.w.e.d program; it actually starts today, and we have a ribbon cutting ceremony at the shop tomorrow. We are also working on buying the house still and Travis is in love with the house on Brisco so we have made an offer. It is not working out the way I would like it too but we are still picking away at it, maybe by the end of January we will be in the new house. It is close to my parents still here in Chubbuck and we are hoping to keep Eric in the same school district. We have a busy week full of school programs and work. I hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far. Later, Amy

Just a quick post before heading out. My schedule at work is changing again for a couple of weeks and I'm so worried I won't be good at this new assignment I'm really feeling the stress here even though I know what I'm doing after 9 years! Yes, 9 years! I know it scares me too, lol. It is not a great time to change again but it is a great opertunity for me to do something different at work. Trevor played in the snow we got yesterday here while I was at work. Eric had 4-h after school; his last class for now, so didnt get to play in the snow. We went home and decorated our christmas tree; it was a lot of fun for the boys and I to do. Travis helped with the lights and then sat back and took pics for me. I am working on my annual holiday goodies and should have them ready to go out by the end of the week but no promises. Later, Amy

Great cause

So this website is from a friend from high school; it is her sister in law and brother that inspired and set up this site to raise funds for people battling cancer. http://www.photosforabuck.com/default.aspx It's a great cause and great price! Please help us continue the fight for survival against so many types of cancer! Love, Amy

HI

So I know it has been a while but things are sooooooo crazy around the holidays. My work schedule is changing again! It is again a temp. thing but may turn into something more long term. I will be coaching other agents on their phone calls and won't have to be taking calls of my own for a few weeks, so it will be a nice change. Travis is kind of slow at the shop but keeping busy still; he is on call most of the week so he can have the weekends off witht he kids while I work. Eric is excited he has two weeks of school left and the Christmas vacation! We put our tree up in our house last night but didnt have time to start decorating. I think it will be a process this year. My niece's Paige and Samantha were just baptised last night and confirmed this morning so the boys and I went to that. Travis played Santa Clause last night for a group of kids and is off hunting geese and ducks today with my Dad. The picture portion of my computer still down but I'm working on it. Later, Amy
