Us etc....

Troy is busy as always with real estate and loves it! He is definitely good at what he does and has a mind that never stops turning! There is always something "on the go" and I usually dont' keep up with it all!! He is also the Young Men's president in our ward. The youth love him obviously because he is such a "party" all of the time and a good example too! He is a big Calgary Flames hockey fan and loves to have "Flames parties" with lots of people! I hardly watch the games myself, but sometimes I will watch bits and pieces with him and the gang that are down in our basement! Most of the time, I can just figure out when the Flames have scored since I can hear them cheer way up on the top floor of my house!
Troy loves to go camping, ice fishing, quadding, shopping for new vehicles and electronics. Troy is a great dad and always makes time for our kids. He is so fun and everyone in the world, I think, loves him!
Now, about myself.... Ummmm.... Well, I am typing with a set of gel nails. I have bit my nails for years (disgusting I know) and have finally decided to really break the habit. I have been filling my nails for about a month and a half now. I love how they look, but they are expensive and time consuming. I am going to keep them for quite a while though so I completly break my embarassing habit.
I enjoy scrapbooking, which this blog is going to help me keep up with current events, so I can scrapbook them later. I wish I could do it more often, but it is difficult to find the time with three kids and a husband sometimes! I seem to always have something to catch up on before I can allow myself to sit down to scrapbook. I love to shop for the supplies though too!! In fact, that is almost as fun as the actual scrapbooking process! I have quite the collection of stuff and need to just use it now!
I like to quilt too. I made a pieced quilt for Keston and Lesha, and have a couple in the process of being done. I made some of those "rag time" quilts for Lesha which are quite a bit easier and quicker to make. I just found out that Micah, my sister, is having a baby boy, so hopefully I will be able to make a cute quilt for him from his auntie!! I am so excited for Micah to have a baby!! As is she!!
I love having a clean house and I have my amazing cousin, Shelby, coming twice a week to help me keep up with everything that needs to be done around my home!! I love her and don't know what I would do without her!! It is a win/win situation too! I need a helper and she needs a flexible job!! She is an excellent worker and my kids adore her!! Mason even mentioned her in his prayers the other night! Keston loves to show Shelby things he has done or loves it when she babysits him! Lesha will let her hold her even when I am in sight (this is an amazing thing!!)!! Shelby is such a thourough worker and even reads my mind and does things that I didn't even ask her to do! All I can say is she is going to make some man very happy one day!! Shelby is leaving at the end of the month to sell alarm systems for the summer. I am going to miss her like crazy, but she will be back in the fall so that is ok!
