Um, I really sucketh at the blog-eth....Last post was 2+ years ago! So here's life now, We've since moved to Eagle Mountain and love it now that we have gotten to know some people and the area it's quite nice, feels small townish to us. We like the feel of a tight knit community.
Kestyn is now 7 and smarter than crap! He keeps us busy, he's enjoying wrestling and seems to have a natural ability with it, he hasn't lost a single match yet! All thanks to his daddy and his Papa teaching him the moves. He has great focus too, when all the other kids are staring off into space and playing with their friends, he's watching the coach and soaking it all in. Oh and now he wants to take guitar lessons, anyone know an inexpensive, GOOD teacher near me?
I am keeping busy with my new calling at church, I was the 2nd counselor in the primary presidency for about 3 weeks before the ward split and changed things, now I am the secretary in the primary which is actually a bit of a relief. I love it so far though.
Zach is always going going going with work and LOVES his job which I love too. You don't know how good it is going from a up and down (mostly down) paycheck to a steady one, life really is good to us right now. Zach was also recently called to Scouts (11 & 12 year olds) and I think he will be incredible at it! He's excellent with youth and can really motivate them. Love him!
I am so thankful for all the blessings I enjoy everyday! I am truly blessed. I will try to be better at this blog crap... That is all for now.
My Favorite Things Kestyn Said...
1. If someone were to offer him a cigarette, he would reply, and I quote: "What's your understanding of anaphylactic shock!" No joke, he came up to me and told me that! (He learned it from The Saftey Kids)
2. One day while eating at KFC I told him to hurry or I'd leave him there and he responded: "No, don't leave me here or I'll become... One of them!"
3. After coming home from preschool, I asked him like I always do what he'd learned that day and he said: "Ahhh, just a bunch of crap!"
4. We were just getting out of the car and I guess Kestyn was talking to Zach but he wasn't paying attention and left for the house and as I was unbuckling Kes, he said with a hint of irritation, "And I'm talking to myself." (Keep in mind he's 4 going on 18!)
5. It was time for bed and Zach followed Kestyn to what he thought was going to be his bed but instead Kes went to the bathroom of which he then turned around, looked at Zach, and said, "I'm going to be here a while..." So Zach came back into the living room grinning from ear to ear and said he was instructed to wait.
6. So it's Zach's family reunion in Fishlake and I was talking to Kestyn about letting him go there and camp with them since I couldn't go because I had to work. He started to tear up and said "I want you to be fired from your work so you can go with me." Talk about heart breaking! Boy I love this kid!
7. I don't have one particular phrase he's used but lately he's been using the word plethora a lot and in the right context!!! Just wait until you hear a 4 year old say plethora, almost as funny as hearing him say trapezoid at 2 years of age!
8. Okay, so we had satellite radio for a while and one night Kes and I were driving home listening to xm kids when a song about pirates came on. Kestyn started asking questions about them and asked me what pirates did. I told him that they would attack other ships and pilfur their stuff, and then he asked me what pirates do now, and I told him that there really wasn't pirates per se. Not in the same sense really.....I mostly said it to avoid a long drawn out conversation, but anyway, he gave me a funny look and said, "What did they all do, quit?"
