Update from the Dizzle

Due to the many requests and continuous outcry for more posts I have decided to delay no longer. I'm back.........thank you. Ok......so no one really seemed to care but Summer obviously isn't keeping anyone updated on what's going on besides when Aidan decides to crap on me.

Speaking of Aidan, he continues to grow and change everyday. Our little man has such a fun personality and he is so easy to take care of. Summer and I love to just watch him play and figure out how things work. The girls adore him and I'm sure he'll be quite the little ladies man.

Lexi and Griffie are turning into little women all too soon. Lex is all grown up and enjoys helping out with AD. Her new favorite thing however is "texting" on her phone. Yeah I said it. "Her" phone. I can just see it now......."Blackfoot Man Passes Out and Dies in His Kitchen After Receiving Phone Bill for $48,000.00" Actually she has been very good and responsible with it so far. She knows that I monitor the usage daily via the internet and won't hesitate to put the "Xnay on Thatnay"........or whatever.

Griffie's front teeth still have not grown in......getting worried. She loves to try and pack AD around, which is still a little unsafe due to the fact that he is almost as big as she is. But she is still a big help to mama. Griffin loves to have fun and can always put a smile on your face. It's hard to stay mad at the "toothless wonder" for too long.

Both of the girls are doing very well in school and their teachers love them. They always tell us at parent-teacher conference, "If we could only have more kids like yours....." which really makes us proud. We do appreciate their hard work and know that the skies the limit for both of them.

Both Lexi and Griffie are still dancing and have done really well in this year's competitions. They're both excited to perform at Lagoon this weekend and also at "Stadium of Fire" in Provo, UT over 4th of July weekend. Actually I think they're more excited to see the Jonas Brothers peform at "Stadium of Fire" instead of actually dancing in it. Heck.......I think we're ALL more excited to see the Jo Bro's perform! Maybe Lexi can "bedazzle" a JoBro's T-shirt for me or something.

Anyways, as for Summer and I we both seem to continually stay busy between the kids and work. Summer has her hands full with the baby all the time, but it doesn't seem to bother her. She puts in alot of time and effort into the Foster Grandparent program and still has time to cook dinner and wash clothes for us. I couldn't ask for a better wife and mother to the kids. She puts us before herself all the time and I can't tell her enough how much I appreciate her for continually supporting me in all my endeavors. Love ya babe.

As for me, I transferred to the Detectives Division in February and have enjoyed the new challenges and opportunities that have opened up. I still miss being out on the road with the guys once in a while, but I'm excited to be doing what I'm doing. I'm actively participating on our local S.W.A.T team and am also a part of a southeastern idaho S.W.A.T team comprised of 7 different counties which fills my need for adrenaline. Besides...it seems that there is a greater need for tactical teams than ever before.

Overall I'm happy to say that everyone is well and in good health. We can't complain. We've been blessed.

Spamoni......I'm out.
