Where did the month go? We were busy that is for sure. We went to the fair, BBQ with friends, and had a blast the last month of August.
Jared still hasn't found a job. I think he is finally settling okay being mr. Mom. It's nice but then hard with one income. We r managing.
Beth is still working at Directv. I just started school on August 6th. I am using the tuition reimbursement at work so that is really nice. I have been having medical problems so well see how things will pan out. I was supposed to go in for a biopsy at the end of August but the dr at the last moment shyed away from doin one. So now I am on antibiotics and pain meds.
Jacob started school at the catholic school close by and he loves it. So far it seems like he is doing well. He has a few friends from vbs and one classmate from his previous school in his class.
Alysa is doing well. She is talking up a storm now and crawling all over the place. She is 9 mos and it seems like we just had her a month ago. She definitely has her own personality.
Towards the end of the month we went to see Rachel and her new little baby. She is adorable. Rachel seems like she is doing well.

July 2012
Well it's already July. We're does the time go. This month is gonna be fun.
Jared has been working part-time for a company that does well pumps. He fixes them and rebuilds them.
I still work at Directv and it has been interesting I make good money and tend to work a lot now trying to get extra money to do more things with the families. I start school back up again in August.
Jacob is working on things for his bear badge already in cub scouts. He really wants to try out going to the catholic school so Jared and I have been looking into it. He has to get braces already or at least the first step of process in October.
So far we have gone camping as a family once this summer and have another one planned with Jared's family on July 20-22 at Grouse Campground up north of McCall. The kids and I went camping with Nana and Grandpa the last part of June. Jared had to work and was unable to go unfortunately.
We are going to try and make a trip out to Iowa in August. It would be easier now since Alysa is not one yet. We are hoping to make it to the Shakespeare theater this summer as a family deal one of these months.
Jacob's b-day party is at this place called Bodies in Motion if anyone wants to look it up. It should be fun. I have lined up so far the rope obstacle course and the zip line for the kids but not sure what else yet.

June 2012
Well it has been already a lot warmer than normal or at least that is what it feels like. We went camping for Memorial Day weekend and got rained out 3 of the 4 days we were there.
Jared has a part-time job, but it turns out to be very part-time. He now has to file for federal extended benefits and he can only do so till the end of the year.
Beth has gotten a raise at work and her base pay is 12.25/hr at work and also got a promotion to csr II which is working in the retention department. She also got on the team that she wanted so now she makes a 1.50 more now with the new team. She also gets the major holiday off too.
Jacob is doing pretty good. He got out of school on June 1, 2012. On the 2nd of June he had a dance recital which was of tap and jazz. There will be a picture of his program on here too. I have one of the videos on Facebook and trying to upload the jazz dance. He starts vacation bible school (vbs) on June 18th to the 22nd here soon. He is hoping to go to St. Mark's Catholic School here in the fall.
Alysa is doing great. She is now 6 mos old and unsure of cold pool water. Unfortunately our pool is not heated. She is teething with at least 4 teeth coming in maybe more. She is rolling a lot now and she can almost crawl. She can get her knees under her but then can't figure out what to do.
All in all we are doing good. This is it until next month.

May
Well April came and gone amazing when you have a baby and time flies.
Beth has been at Directv for 3 months now and trying to get into another department that will give her a raise and bonus. She starts her new schedule for May which will be Saturday and going back to day shifts. Which will be from 5:45-2:15pm.
Jared's papers were sent to the main office for the military. We should know this week or next week if he gets back in. He finally picked up a part-time job where he is doing well plumbing.
Jacob just went through first communion (pics on fb), he did a very good job reading. He will be receiving her bear rank here soon in cub scouts. Hopefully we will be able to put him into golf lessons but not sure yet.
Alysa was baptized at St. Mark's Catholic Church on Easter 2012 (pics will be posted on fb), when I get a chance. She is a very easy baby, Nana & Grandpa will be helping out with her here and there so it will be nice.

March 2012
March has been a very busy month for us. Beth is still working for Directv and hoping to switch into another department to get a pay raise and a better schedule. Besides working full-time she is still a full-time student and full-time parent.
Alysa is now 4 months old and her baptism is next Sunday on Easter. She has her dad's smile and has been teething since she was 2 1/2 months old. Although she still hasn't cut any teeth yet on the gum line.
Jacob is wanting to start taking golf lessons so this year were hoping to put him in some for the summer. He has been helping a little more each day with his sister. Jacob has a girlfriend and her name is Arianna, she has been coming over on Fridays to hang out. They have been dating supposedly since school started.
Jared is still not working. We have to get Alysa's birth certificate before they send in his application for the military. Since then he has been a stay at home dad and he likes it but then he doesn't. Since then we have also tried applying for a VA loan to buy a home and if he is able to go full-time Active in the military we are going to rent out our house at that point.

January
Well we are definitely looking for high hopes this year.
Beth ~ I just started another semester on January 17th. I started working at Directv on January 23rd. So I am definitely busy now. I have work M-F from 5:45-2:15 pm and then I come home and do all of my homework.
Jared ~ Goes in Monday morning to do the rest of the process for the U.S. Army Reserves. So we should know something by next month. He was approved for MEPS so he has to go down after he gets the ok to finish the process. Then he gets to pick his MOS.
Jacob ~ Is busy with Dance class on Monday nights and cub scouts on Tuesday nights. He is getting ready for the Pinewood Derby which is next month. He has a music program at his school on the 16th of February, I think it is geared for President's Day.
Alysa ~ She is doing great. Last month she went in for her shots (2 months). She weighed 11.7 lbs, 23 1/2 inches, and 33 cm (head). She is now eating 4-6ozs every few hours. Jared is being a good stay at home dad and he likes it, although he would like to work as well.
This weekend as a family we went to McCall Winter Festival, which was the last weekend.

December
Well a month has gone by and the New Year is here.
Our daughter Alysa is a month old. She loves making dad stay up all night long and she also loves making faces at us even including her big brother on this too. She has been making great progress growing and getting heavier.
Jacob made out like a bandit for Christmas again, but then I am pretty sure once Alysa gets bigger she will too. Jacob got presents this year from his great aunt and cousins in Iowa. Which will hopefully get him to try new things in the science area. Jacob got 2 radio control cars this year (one that he has to build & another one that mom bought him that uses batteries), he got the 3-D DS and he got the game he wanted from Santa.
Jared has been receiving side jobs a lot lately that has been helping us. Hallelujah for that. We are still waiting to hear back on the rest of it for the military.
I start school next month on the 17th. I have 3 days to buy my books which will be Wed, Thurs, Fri this week. I signed up for the Medical Reserve Corp (MRC) for the state of Idaho and I receive my CPR and first aid on Friday morning.
