Kadreys cheering dance

Today was Kadreys big day. She finally got to perform that dance that she has been wanting to do for so long. The "camp" was all through June (the performance was cancelled due to weather) and again all through August. She was so stinkin cute. They danced at a half time for the football team that our city has, these little boys were like eight years old (so cute). Plus they cheered for the first half of the game.

We then spent the afternoon in the mountains at a campsite BBQing hamburgers and playing in the river and having fun, We went up with Grandma and Grandpa Montague - no one else in my family could make it, hopefully next time everyone can go. Fun day!

Monday is my first day of work now I have had the training but I am still very nervous, I mean I have spent the last 12 years of my life working in a bakery. Dan and Kadrey both start school on Monday (Jax starts on the 31). Its going to be a crazy week - fun and adventure filled but crazy none the less :) I hope that everyone has a good week.

Happy Birthday Baby!!!!

So, today has been a busy day. Kourtney would be one today so we went to her graveside and had a little balloon release for her, we also took her some flowers and I made "giant" cupcakes with hot pink frosting on them. I always thought that she would make it to her 1st birthday and it makes me sad that she didn't but I hope she knows that we love her and miss her - and that she is our super special girl.

LOVE YOU KOURTY

I had my official interview today for my new job. I start on Wed (I told Maceys I would the rest of this week, which I cant but i hope they understand). I am a bit nervous about it, I mean I have been working in a bakery for the last 12 years. Dan says not to worry because I know what I am doing that I was on this path once in my life and somehow took a wrong turn and ended up spending part of my life with Maceys - I hope he is right.

The job is called Americorp and the best I can figure for now is that it is tutoring kids, helping set up reading programs, recruiting parent volunteers and basically doing whatever the school need help with. It is full time and will pay for up to two years of college. I work school days but not holidays. I am nervous but excited.:)

Big days!!!!!

Jaxon (aka Jogee) had his birthday on Thursday. He is now a big five year old. He stayed the night at my parents house so that Dan could get some sleep while I was at work. The first thing on our agenda for that day was a dentist appt. for him. Not "Grandma's dentist" a new one (he is not a fan of the old dentist). The dentist decided that his tooth needed to be pulled out (that's right on his B-day he had a tooth pulled). We then took him mini golfing and he loved it. We had a lot of fun and even though it proved to be a bit frustrating at times we enjoyed it. For his b day we got Jogee a new bike - it is big and blue and has a kick stand (the most important things right :) He has been able to ride a bike without training wheels since the end of last summer and so we decided that it was time for an upgrade for him. Than we went to Chuck - a - rama and had dinner (Dans dad gave him a couple of gift certificates for his birthday, so we had a good dinner that night).

For work I had to make a cake for the Coke company. I had to make a 6 pack of can and the cake actually turned out OK. I mean for someone with no schooling or cake carving abilities and for cake not designed for that kind of thing and because I have no artistic ability I think I did pretty good. Kim and I also made a coke cup so from now on you can just call us "Chief Duff". Also I gave my two weeks notice to my work. I know it was a rather hasty decision but it is also a much needed change for me.

(again no pictures I still havent gotten that far in my learning of the computer sorry)

I'm back!!!!!!!

Hey, sorry I know it has been forever since I've done any kind of update - but I am going to do one today. However we have a new computer (that is part of the reason for no updates - our laptop died) so no pictures - sorry - plus I keep forgetting to take pictures of our "events".

So many things to tell about I am not even sure where to start.

We had a family reunion (for the Montague side). For one of the fun events we had me, Kadrey, Jaxon, Kali, and Bryan performed the Hannah Montana Hoedown Throw down. It was a lot of fun - I just hope that someone got pictures of it and that one day I will get to see them.

For mine and Dan's 8 year anniversary - 8 YEARS - we went to the Kenny Chesney concert. It was a lot of fun. We have never done anything other then dinner and a movie for our ann. so I was pretty excited. I hope that my future is filled with lots of concerts cause I loved it.

We had our first ever yard Sale this last weekend. It actually was not as horrible as I was lead to believe it would be, and we made pretty good on our sales , and I got a lot of space freed up in the house.

Dan turned 30 years old yesterday. Ha! ha! he is getting old huh? He really is not to happy about getting "older" but he will be fine, plus it is kinda fun to tease him about it.

And if you can believe it Jaxon will be 5 on Thursday. He is already almost 5 and he is starting Kindergarten at the end of the month. He is growing up so fast.

OK well now I hope you all feel more informed and know that I have not forgotten about you, life just gets crazy some days - you know?! -

I will do better at posting fun things and I will also figure out how to get some pictures onto my awesome computer so that I can share them you all, and I will try to be better at taking picture :)
