up dates on the family!!!!

So I know it has been awhile since I posted last. Well, here is what has been going on. Dave has been home a couple times. And we are starting to learn how to deal with him gone a week at a time. It is very hard though. When he comes home he is home for 6 days and then gone for 8. The 6 days go by so quickly that it doesn't seem he is here that long.
The kids are doing good. Bailey is starting to do better in school and is trying a lot harder. He is enjoying math and reading now more then he has ever. Ricky, well Ricky would much rather be on a gaming system then do anything but he is doing good. I tell you that boy is getting big he is now taller than me. Katie well she is little miss thing, she loves school and to go to the after school program. She has been having a lot of fun singing at the after school program too. Dave is loving his job in Nevada. He doesn't like to be away from home but he is enjoying being at work. We have decided that it is best for us to stay here in Montana and have Dave travel back and forth so that we don't have to rent a house in Nevada or take the kids out of school and make them meet new friends and try and adjust to a new place. Dave also has a friend in Nevada that he has worked with for the past 3 or 4 years so it makes the stay down there a little easier for him. As far as I going everything is going OK. I am still working.
