Alittle bit of good w/ a little bad!

Dave took a new job. He still has to go and have his physical but that will be this week sometime. The good news is that he will be makeing more money and the company is a good one from what we hear. The bad news is he has to be away for 7 days. He will be working 7 on 7 off. Which is cool he will be home for 7 days but then it isn't cool because he will also be out of town for 7 days. I think he may like the job better though. There is so much more benifites to this job then the one he has now. And the company he is going to go to work for is a really big one so that is a plus too. You may ask why he is going to start a new job well because the mine here decided that even though Dave has put in his time he shouldn't get a raise which is a crock. But the worst part of that is they told him he would get a raise and then 2 months later when it wasn't here yet he went and ask and they said no you didn't get it. No reasons no answers so needless to say it made Dave mad so he started looking for another job. One that the people will respect what he does and appreciat him for his job. Anyway that is some of our news.

Oh yah, Katie made it in to the talent show for the kids here. She is a finalist for singing w/ one of her friends. Not all the kids will make the show I guess but she did. I am very proud of her. It is really neat that she will be in the show singing. But it does not suprize us. She runs around the house all day singing and dancing.

Bailey recieved and A++++ on his spelling test on friday. Which is really awsome beings as we have been having a little trouble w/ that all year long. He also is going to try out for the talent show. His class hasn't audioned yet though.

Ricky is doing great he brought all his grade up. Oh and he has a new girl friend named Cassi. For Valentines day he bought her a stuffed puppie and a rose. (with his own money) I think it is cute they are so funny. The other night Ricky and Bailey figured out how to use the messanger and they talked to Chris, Corey and Aunt Julie online. (they loved typing to all of you.) Anyway that is pretty much it here.

Well life has been very busy around here. Dave and I have been working and taking care of sick kids. Ya, you have to love the flu season. We have been plowing our driveway about ever other day. It has snowed here about 2 more feet in the last week. Anyway, the kids are doing good they have been sick but I am hopefull that it is almost done. The kid's report cards came this week and I am proud to report that Ricky and Bailey's grades came up now they have C's and B's. Katie has all A's which is a nice change:) Oh, and we now offically have a zoo at our house. Our friends lab had puppies which are full breed labs. So we took 2 of them home with us leaving us w/ 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 cockatiles, Bailey's ant farm, a goat, and my brother's dog. Wow, what a house full:) I will post some pictures of the puppies soon. Well I should get off here but I hope everyone is doing good:) Talk to you all soon.
