Update

Ever since we got back from our trip out West I've started babysitting for a family in our ward. They have 6 kids so you might think that at 9 months pregnant what was I thinking... Don't worry I've asked myself that question too but really these kids are good. Ages are 15, 8, 5, twin 2 yr olds, and an 8 month old. The 15 yr old has been at a few camps and youth conference so he hasn't been around much and the 8 and 5 yr old are a big help. It also helps that both the baby and the twins sleep for about 3 plus hours in the afternoon. I must do a good job at wearing them out in the morning or something. The poor parents, I bet those kids don't sleep very well for them at night... And yes, I am planning on continuing to watch these kids after Baby Kirk makes its arrival at the end of the month (but with a couple weeks off at least) and by then the three older will be in school so I might even be able to squeeze in a nap for myself when ALL the kids are sleeping.

Avery on the other hand is still working crazy hours but somehow has managed to go golfing 2 times last week. Working 6 days a week I guess he deserves a few hours off during the day to play. He's also brought it upon himself to go househunting for us. He does the hard work of searching and then shopping with the realitor. All I have to do is drive up and check out the good ones. We did make an offer on a house a week or so ago but now have changed our minds regarding that one and backed out. We're really in no hurry and with the market being a "buyers market" right now we can pick and choose a little.

Ha Ha. We need to hang-out more. Tyson works six days a week too and somehow finds time to golf too. He needs a golfing buddy tho he left his behind in Vegas. He should invite Tyson. (I'm offically trying to make my husband friends. LOL)
