Born Again American

This is what we need to remember when we are arguing over the specifics of laws...freedom and the constitution come first!

Updates

Hi all,
Here are a few updates!
We moved to the Spokane are from Colville, WA. We love the house we are renting and the school is great too. We will be buying eventually, but wanted to try out the area for now. Of course we can always be found on the internet no matter where we are.
Darin and I still run his Wireless Networking business and take care of our 4 boys, dogs and chickens.
Darin is in cub scouts with Tristram and teaches once a month in elders quorum at church. He love to blog online and keep updated on current events to help us make decisions both for his business and our family. He also enjoys some recreation time that he usually has something new and exciting to do with the time. He really wants to visit more family and friends, but we gotten work with his unpredictable work schedule and school for the kids also. He is a great Mr. Mom when I get busy with work or errands (or if I am too tired to do it). He is the best dad and husband I could hope for.
I, Chanel, have a Visiting Teaching assignment at church and I am enjoying church in a new place. I have gotten into using facebook and youtube to keep in touch with family and friends.(in between updates here). I have an addiction to Glenn Beck, and enjoying listening when I am not busy with other things. Our new place is just right for our family and keeps me busy with the usual cleaning, cooking, laundry and never-ending clean up of toys…haha. I am looking forward to being able to pull out more of my craft room type stuff now that I have a safe place to set up a sewing machine and keyboard. I am doing my best to improve my health with regular exercise, which helps to make me feel better on those foggy WA days. I am truly blessed to have the family I have. I am also glad to hear from my relatives when they can.
Tristram is 8 and is in 2nd grade. He loves school, but not the long bus ride. He is our best Wii Nintendo player in the house and is loves to play with whoever can. He loves Family Home Evening night and always tries to put in his choice of activity. He is the best helper when it is really needed. He loves to help collect eggs from the chickens, too. He is very smart and his favorite subjects in school are gym and math.
Jadin is 6 and in kindergarten. He goes 2-3 times a week and likes his teacher. He enjoys Mario Galaxy and Mario Party 8. He loves to sing a-long (if we are not watching) to songs he likes. He love Family Home Evening night also and loves the treats and games best. He is learning to be a big boy like Tris. He loves to be goofy and joke with all of us. He loves to have us read to him.
Simeon is 3 and stays at home with us. He loves Public Television programs for kids and enjoys playing with Ephraim. He is a rough and tough kind of boy, but has a sweet and sensitive heart. He get a lot of bumps and scraps due to his hard playin ways, but doesn’t seem to notice much. He is such a good boy and loves too keep busy. He will definitely play some sport when he is older.
Ephraim is 19mo and stays at home too. He love to play with Simeon and watch PBS. He lovesssssssssssss his toys and the dog’s food. He keeps us aware of what he needs and wants during the day and keeps us moving till bedtime. He is a good and active toddler and loves to give hugs and kisses. He is our youngest little angel and we love him to pieces.
Willie, our poodle, is doing great and is 10 years old. He loves to lay around and clean up after Ephraim. He is the old person in the house and enjoys his seniority.
George, our border collie, is very energetic and needy. He is 2 years or so and we adopted him from a family that was moving and had to get rid of him. He loves us all. He enjoys running after any of our motorized vehicles and kids and likes to watch the chickens too. He is a good dog.
There you have it. A few updates to keep ya’ll up to speed.
see ya,
chanel
