Calling for help!

Do you have a dream to travel? Well, my little sister, Amanda, does. She has had the dream to go to China for over 7 years (thats Half her age!) and she now has the chance. However, there is a hiccup. She is in a contest to go to Beijing on the week of August 10th and competing with 50 different families around the world.

The contest is won merely by votes, you can vote for as many familes as you want at a time for every 1 min. so every minute you can vote. She is currently in 8th place and she needs to get into at least the top 5. The voting goes until the end of the month and the winners will be declared then. Here is the link:

Just copy and paste if it doesn't work. make sure to click on the english version if its not already.

My family's SN (screen name) is Dream Beijing. Now you can vote as many times as you want. My family takes shifts and stays up to vote, but you don't have to do that. just vote when you can please. I would really like it if she could go. I will be a lot of work, but I figure if you could at least vote once it would help a TON!

Thanks in advance, and Good luck!

"Hello! Where are the blogs? I need the blogs!"- Trish Griffee

I know it has been a long while since the Hunstmans have blogged! Live has been a little extra crazy for us! No excuse, i know we are all busy, but...

Chad is a working machine. He may not work during the school year but the 80+ hours he puts in during the summer make up for it! He has been on three fires and is gone A LOT! I really don't like it but this is year it is better because I have Braxton. He likes his job and is actually looking to advance next summer, he would like to teach fire school.

Braxton is huge!!!!!!!!! he is standing by himself and I believe with in the next month or so he will be walking around! He is DA DA DA DA DAing all day long and MA MA only comes out if he is sad? I really can not believe how much you can love something!!

I am good. Normal first trimester sick stuff but nothing that we cant handle!! I am 10 weeks today and we still have not told any of Chad's Fam? He does not want to yet! and I know the longer we wait the more trouble I am going to be in with his mom and Grandma. But I will humor him. I am still working even though with a week like last week isn't a wonder any body still works for my boss?? I almost walked out a couple of times? But I need the insurance.

We miss family so much...we have not been to visit Utah county in months and I am really getting anxious. But would you believe that gas is almost $.20 more down here? and lets face it my money tree ran out years ago.

Well that is the Huntsman's for now. I would like to say I will blog more ofter but who knows really! Love you all Katy
