The Fousels

I can't believe how much time has passed since I blogged last.  I am really lagging on this.  Well alot has happened since I last posted something.  Noah fractured his elbow last February and missed soccer season.  Ethan was our soccer star with over 30 goals made in 7 games.  Noah passed 3rd grade with straight A's for the entire school year and Ethan did awesome as well "promoting" from Kinder to 1st.  We are blessed to have 2 intelligent, fun loving, healthy, handsome boys.  We had alot of fun this summer.  We went to San Diego for 8 days.  Spent alot of time on the beach and also visiting with my family.  It's great to see the boys spend time with their other cousins.  And there's quite a few on that side.  :) We also went up to Prescott with Grammy, Aunt Kathy, and the Batizy's and spent 4th of July weekend in a cabin.  We all had a nice time relaxing and exploring.  Noah turned 9 in April, Ethan turned 6 in July, and Jake also had a birthday in July.  School started up again and they are really liking school this year.  Such a blessing to have them want to go to school.  I went back to work this year after taking a 9 1/2 year break.  I am actually really enjoying my job.  I work at the school as an instructional aide.  Jake is still working for ADOT and still enjoying his job.  I am sure though if the opportunity presented itself, he would love to take a turn being a "stay at home" dad.  Gotta play that lottery!  Jake and I recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.  We took a second honeymoon, left the kids behind with their Auntie and Uncle, and spent 4 days in San Francisco and Ukiah.  We had a great time and can't wait to go back.  I promise to post pictures soon and update more often. :)
