The Lake

On mothers day we went to Sand Hollow lake with some friends of ours! It was so much fun to be on a boat again, I have not gone since high school. Braxton loved it, I was worried. Chad, Braxton and I really loaded on the sunscreen, it was great I got just a little bit of sun but...I forgot my back??? It is fried and has been really uncomfortable. Well I am going to try to put a pic on.
Don't ask what these two are doing! It was funny at the time!

Hi

I got to stay home today and be mom! I love that! With my new work hours, if I have to work a Saturday I get Tuesday off, so i don't have to pay my babysitter any more! Well I love it. i got so much done and got to hang out with my favorite little guy all day long! He is getting so big, he is now the ruler of our home, or at least he thinks he is. He has one tooth and is cutting another, and is pulling himself up onto things. I think he will be walking young?!?

Chad started fighting fires again, and I think he is excited to be out and about after playing Mr.mom for the last couple months! He did so great in school this last semester and says that it looks like the fall of 09' he will graduate! He is training with the state to be a teacher, he would like to teach the fire safety classes that are required to fight. His dad has been a fire fighter for years and is helping him. If he gets the job next year it means a salary and benefits, it also means a full time position. The only down side is he would have to do school part time, so we will see.

I am still at Wells...this is the longest I have ever been with one job. It is really a good job, with the new hours i feel better about myself as a mom, and i don't get quite and involved with the politics and bogas stuff like that. We have a really great girl watching Braxton for the four hours I am gone in the day, she is better than any day care, and a lot cheaper. I'm really only working for the benefits so it is nice to not pay out the nose for child care.

Well that's all from this side. I love reading every ones blog and I check every day for updates. Love you all and miss family. KATY

FINAL-LY

So yesterday (Thursday) I took my last final of the semester! I am so happy that I get a break from school for 3 months. I wish I was graduating like Jeremy, and Micheal; but I guess I have to abide my time like they did. Only a few more years...

Well this week, Braxton and I have had the house to ourselves. I don't think I would suggest this unless you have a car, and things to do... Yes I had finals, but Braxton couldn't exactly come with me. so there was some juggling to do; but it worked out.

Braxton is getting way too big now. He crawls everywhere now; not so much of hands and knees, but more like hands and a knee and a foot. One day he just started sitting up. Now he sits around like he owns the world and loves it. He recently realized that there is something at the end of the hallway, Now he travels down there thinking that he will get into a whole new world of stuff and mischief, so I have to close the doors now.

Everything here at the Huntsman's household is going well. Katy will start working part-time, and I will going back to the fires starting Monday.

Hope all is well with you all.

Medical practice, not perfect

Well to make what could be a very long story, as short as I can. I am having some stomach issues. I had my gal bladder out and still have pain, I have been in and out of the ER and we keep getting different answers. One doctor says it's ulcers, another says it's gastritis? Who know all i know is that these "attacks" come on strong, knock me out and the only way we have found how to get rid of them is some strong pain killers!!!???!!!

I'm getting really fed up and trying really hard to be patience. And my mom being the wonderful woman she is, says "just keep pushing, it's medical practice, not medical perfect." i love you mom! so we wait and will go to the ER again if needed! Who knows I just want answers!

Other than that the Huntsman's are great! We went to visit family and we love to see grandma and grandpa's. Chad has one more week of school and then it is off to work. Braxton is so big and just keeps growing!!! But that is life!

We love you all
Huntsman's

Life

Life for the Huntsman's is good! We have been doing the same routine for the last few months and it is become a little mundane! Chad has only three weeks left of this semester, then he goes of to work. That means I only have three more weeks of being a full time working mom, then I get to stay home. I will still work 20 hours a week but that is so much better than my 35-38 that I put in right now! Really the only reason I am working is because of the benefits. Although the state pays well, you are considered a seasonal employee until five years of service, so no benefits. But 20 hours will be great, and we have the cutest girl watching Braxton. She is a good friend and I would trust her with my life. It worked out well.

Braxton cut a tooth!! And he is "crawling" every where. I say crawling like that because he takes twp or three crawls, then army crawls the rest of the way. It is so cute, but he is now into every thing. i was doing laundry the other day and I hear this little giggle! I look down and my boy had made it down the hall and into my piles. He was so proud of himself. He is very curious and wants to see all there is to see.

Well that is all from the Huntsman's end. I love reading all your blogs and seeing the pics. Trisha you are not so good at keeping us updated, but I do understand that you are rather busy. Love you all! KATY

Friday the 13th

So I know that we have been blogging a whole lot in the last little while, but honestly there has not been a whole lot of stuff going on with us.

I am blogging today because it's Friday the 13th, we haven't blogged in a while, and because I took 2 tests today (of all days) oh! and a quiz. If my last name started with an N-Z I also would have had a fitness test. That is all of my classes! I would have had a test/quiz in all of my classes today! weird.

One test that I took today was only 25 questions long, and the teacher is the strength coach at SUU, so he makes tests REALLY easy. this is his first year teaching this class. He spends most of his time in the weight room.

My other test was in Microbiology, and it was harder. It was 100 questions. now the test was A LOT easier if you got the study guide, because the test was basically the study guide with blanks... but he did throw in a few questions from previous years that he did not go over very much in class. It was okay though.

All in all, it was an okay morning. No nose bleeds or anything else tramatic.

Good luck all on today's adventures.

Ciao,
