New Addition

Just thought I'd share a few new pics and an update from the Dance family. School is out and the girls are enjoying their summer vacation! Summer has been busy between work and taking care of the kids and I have been busy with work and a yard.......and now we have a new addition...... The kids and Summer (mostly Summer) have been begging to get a dog since we moved into the house and I guess I caved in finally. So, meet Maggie. She's part Shar-pei and part Australian Shepherd. The girls love her, but AD is not so sure yet. Speaking of Aidan...he's not quite crawling yet, but that should be fun.......crawling baby, new puppy........Anyways, things are going well here and we hope everyone is doing good. Here's a few more pics. Spamoni.

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.

Mr. Poopy Pants

Maybe after this I should change the title of my blog to... the Mis Adventures of Justin and Aidan... It's always some kinda mess with those two!!!

I walked in on this the other night...

EW! See what I mean? Nasty boys.

No one told me boys do THAT...

Ew. Aidan peed in his own mouth. And then in his own ear. Sorry, no pics. I was to busy gagging. So was Aidan. Needless to say we were late for work that day... we both had to have a bath. Sick.

Hot boys!!!

Um... don't mess with my hubby!!!

Just to be clear, Justin is the one in the hat... I know, it's super hard to tell them apart!

Just some pics...

Thanks for the sweet shirt, Aunt Sandy!

The house painters... so sexy!

Wet paint and large breasts... not a good combination.

The twins

Cutest naked man...ever!

In Like a Lion...

I thought this saying only applied to the WEATHER in March, not our lives!!! Guess I was wrong. I was blissfully painting jungle animals on Aidan's wall in the new house on Thursday afternoon when my phone rang. It was the landlord to the old house... I rolled my eyes thinking, "She doesn't have to call me EVERY single time she wants to show the house!". She did want to show the house, but she also casually mentioned that if possible, could we be out on the 1st of the month.... Um, that would be like, Sunday?! Like 3 days away, Sunday?! I said I would talk to Justin about it. I remained totally cool, calm, and collected (yeah right) during my conversation with him (did I mention I had not packed ONE box?) and he told me to calm down, we would work it out. So I called in the forces. My besties Fay and her husband Daniel, and Nancy and RC... dang, don't mess with the dance mommies when it comes to moving! Fay kept reminding me it would be okay, and that I would get through it...
So during all the moving madness we have to STOP for a dance competition! Lexi and Griffin both did solos and rocked it!!! I did take pictures, which I will post eventually, but I have no clue where the camera is currently located.
Then on the way home from the dance competition Aidan developed a wheezing and a cough that sounded BAD. He slept well on Saturday night so I waited to take him in to the doctor until the morning. One RSV swab and 3 chest x-rays later, our little one has RSV and pneumonia in his right lung that is related to the RSV. Poor, poor baby. They decided not to admit him to the hospital because his O2 sats where at 90-94. Thank goodness! They sent us home with a machine to do breathing treatments and told me that he is going to sound yucky for 2 to 3 weeks!!! I hate RSV!
In the meantime, Justin and all our friends completed the move!!! What great friends we have!
Today is Aidan's first day out of the house. We came in to the office to see what was slipping through the cracks... um, alot! Anyway, he is still really wheezy and coughing tons, so we will make it a short day and head home for another breathing treatment shortly.
I will post pics of the new house... sometime. Where is that dang camera?!
