We are still here. We have been so busy these past few weeks. Eli's blessing was fun. We had family come down from CDA, Idaho and all my family here in Utah came to enjoy the afternoon with us.
We had over 40 people in our little home, eating cookies and having lemonade. The morning started out with a rain storm when we found out that the roof leaked. My dad and David had to get on the roof in the poring rain and tar the leak around the swamp cooler. later that day, the rain stopped and it turned into a beautiful day. The Thunderbirds were at HAFB that weekend.
We watched their show from our front yard. David had finals for school the next week. He got two A's and an A-. I am so proud of him. We started potty training with Scott. He is getting the hang of it. My brother and his wife had their first child. They had a boy 7lb 14oz, 20.5 inches long and named him Lucas. We finally tried putting the 10X12 shed together that we bought the week after we closed on the house. We didn't get too far. We are planning on finishing it this Saturday. David has two papers to write for school before the weekend. He just turned in two 3-page papers on Monday and Wednesday. It is the second week of this semester and he will have written four papers already, and he has just two classes. We are renting a wood-chipper to get rid of a pile of dried wood on the side of our house. There was a big tree on the side of the house that was lifting the sidewalk and looked like it was infested and going to fall on the house at any time. We are going to use the wood chips in my front flower garden. My birthday was Sunday. Last Monday, David got me a 6 week old border collie/Australian shepherd puppy. We named her Lexie.
I wanted a dog for the boys and me, since our sweet dog died in April. But I could not handle a puppy with my five boys. David couldn't understand at first. I wanted a dog that was house trained and good with kids and already mostly trained. I didn't have time to train a puppy. The week that we had Lexie, my post-pardum depression reared its ugly head and I broke down in tears twice a day. David realized that the puppy was too much for me to handle at this point and I couldn't give the puppy the time she needed and the boys the time that they needed (and Myself the time I needed!). He tried to help me as much as possible that week by helping with the boys and making dinner, but he had to work and go to school full time and I knew that I couldn't train a puppy, nurse a 2-month old, potty train a 2-year old and get our new house organized and the yard cleaned up the way we wanted it. We put her on ksl.com and sold her to a nice women just a few streets over. We are planning on getting another dog, 1-5 years old, around August or September. I want to have the backyard cleaned up, our gate completed and maybe the older boys in school too so I will have the time to give a new addition to our family. So it has been a busy month and we are looking forward to the 4Th of July.

Lexie is a very cute dog, but I know what you mean about having a puppy. That must be really exciting to have Scott almost potty trained. I can't wait for Bryson to be interested it too, but I think he needs to talk a little more. He is 18 months right now. When Baylee was that age she was wanting to be potty trained.
