Tough Weekend

I have lots and lots of pictures I have taken recently, but I'm not posting any currently, I'm too tired. I just have to vent about this weekend! Why is it some days are impossible to sell training classes at work. I got at least 5 promises to come in this week and sign up, but last week when we needed the sales, nobody was paying. I only collected 1 commission for all week. I'm also feeling punished for my faith - it's really more of a trial, but my husband is mad at me for paying tithing. That made us all in a real chipper mood for our family pictures we had taken today. Of course, my feelings right now are to give up, throw in the towel, it's not worth all the heartache. Any suggestions? Not that anyone wants to comment on this depressing entry, let alone finish reading it...

Dog Training

I can't believe I haven't talked about how I have the best job in the world. I'm a mom! But I'm also a dog trainer at Petsmart. I get to meet and teach people who have common likes as me - dogs! This was a puppy class that graduated back in the Spring of '07. Then the chocolate lab named Buster is showing how he learned to "shake". Buster belonged to a girl I lifeguarded with at BYU and her husband.

Zach's b-ball

Zach is on a basketball team for Lehi High School and the Special Olympics. Here he is at his first game. It is awesome, if you ask him if they won, of course he says, "YES!" even though it's not quite true. GO ZACH and the Lehi Pioneers!

How could I not add this picture?

Sydney's Daddy took this cute picture! For some reason she found Cal to be a great chair. She is fascinated with chairs. I had to go get Zach a new computer chair this week (his old one was quite disgusting), so off to IKEA Sydney and I went. I found the perfect one for him - it was red plastic (Spiderman), but the only red one they had left was the display. A nice worker said I could have it - already assembled and everything! Sydney went crazy over it! She would no longer sit in the cart, so I pushed her through the register and out to the car in the chair. She threw a fit when I put it in Zach's room and not hers, so I had to put her Mickey Mouse chair in her room so she would go in there to take a nap! Her other fascination is shoes...we're doomed!

update

So I was finally pressured into updating this blog. Hopefully the images wont take too long to upload... here we are on our Labor Day hike up to Timpanogus cave. It was quite the trek! You see Eran and I traded off carrying Sydney. Hey I haven't seen my sunglasses since that day, maybe they are still in the diaper bag. The hike is 1.5 miles straight up the mountain (okay, maybe there were a few switchbacks). The photo at the top is when we were within yards of the cave - the exhaustion shows.
