Updates!! Since it has been awhile

I was looking today and saw that the last post that I did was about Valentine's day. Well not a lot of things have happened but here is some that have:

Isaac was bored one day waiting for me to get off of work so he decided to sit in his dad's chair and wait. I really thought that he was asleep, but he was just being really quiet

I have taken up the task of giving my boys haircuts to try and save money. Dallin usually complains that whole time because he hates it. Well we let it go a little longer than we normally do and he loves having his hair spikey so we took a picture of how long we let his hair get.
Sometimes we look in on the kids when we go to bed. Well one night Jeff noticed that Dallin was in a weird position. We both thought that it was just too funny to pass up. He gets this from me. I am always sleeping in weird positions throughtout the night.

I would also like to update you on what I have been doing. In January I volunteered to do some scorekeeping for the Tooele Jr. Jazz program. I had a lot of fun and the person who scheduled the games thought I did a good job because she gave me a lot of games. In total I did 34 games over nine weeks. I had a lot of fun and am a little sad that it is now over. When we had our first meeting I was surprised to learn that I would get paid for the work that I did. So even though it wasn't a lot of money I still made $272. It was nice to get that little supplement to our incomes in this economy.


New Car!!

In the past month, our little Mitsubishi Mirage had a problem with one of its tires so Jeff took it in to get the tire replaced. What he found out is that we also needed to get the struts replaced or we would have to keep replacing tires a lot sooner than otherwise. We had also reached 900,000 miles on the car and needed to replace a belt. Well I did the math in my head and thought that now was the best time to trade in the car. The total in repairs would cost between $1000-$1500. Also we were not sure something else would be wrong as well.


So one weekend we went up to see my parents and had my family watch our kids and we went to test-drive cars. We first went to a Toyota and Honda dealer to try out those cars. and it turns out that we got a very good deal on the car and on our trade in (they gave us $1500). So we let with a 2009 Toyota Yaris. We thought that we were just going to test drive some cars for a little bit, but because of the deals we got we decided to buy.
Here is the picture of the car.



This is not our actual car, but it is the same color.:
