Quick Post... We're still alive!

Ok, so I have had a few of you ask if we're still around or if I have forgotten how to blog. I haven't. Just busy (and lazy). SO.... Quick post...

THE WALL / GARDEN
I wanted a wall in my back yard for my birthday. Silly? Maybe. But I don't care and don't regret it either. With a lot of hard work (mostly from Miah) and about $400-ish dollars, it went from the dirt hill to the wall and "garden". We (and by we I mean Miah) are attempting squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers and other small garden type plants (sorry, I'm tired and don't remember what all we have growing back there!)
ARCHER / KIDNEY STONES
Archer takes meds that help his stones from getting too big (they still can, but the meds help). On Mother's Day, Archer had a kidney stone that was too big to pass (2 cm by 1 cm) and the poor guy was crying because he couldn't pee. After spending hours in the Heber Emergency Room (and trying 3 different sized catheters to remove the blockage), they sent us to Park City for Surgery with a Urologist. It was a same day / emergency surgery. They blasted the stone (that was too big to pass), which broke it into lots of little pieces. The kid peed stones (relatively pain free) for a week, but hasn't had a problem since then.

MIAH GOT A JOB!
Jeremiah got a job as a Backup Line Mechanic for BD Medical in Sandy. He works the night shift (5:45pm to 6am). It pays ok but I'll still work to keep insurance and to keep us paying off debt faster! I leave for work at about 6:50am - Miah gets here about 6:35am. I get home around 4:40pm - Jeremiah has to leave by 4:50pm. So we don't really see each other on work nights, but when we do, we actually spend time together, so that's been nice. :) Kids are having fun playing with the upstairs neighbor family (they watch the kids while Miah's sleeping).

THOMAS THE TRAIN
Jeremiah, Robyn, Archer and I rode Thomas the Train again this year. Tanion decided he was too big to go this year... Archer's still obsessed and since Robyn loves anything her brother's do, she loves Thomas too.

DARTANION GOT BAPTIZED!!!
DarTanion turned 8 years old last week and was baptized on Saturday. I have the baptism pictures on the camera still, so here is his "dressed up" pictures to go with his baptism invites...

Ok, very tired and I work early, so I'm going to leave it at this for now, but I love you all (shout out to you, Kim and Jenn!) and shall try to post again soon. Still so many adventures to catch you up on!
