Second Post and Family Update

Sorry I am such a slug. Things seem to get ever more hectic around here. Since the first post we have had a lot of things going on.
Cole is in boy scouts now. We went on our first camp out and WOW was it cold. Luckily we packed well enough that we stayed warm. I volunteered to go and Cole thought that was pretty fun to have his dad along. He is already moving right along on his rank advancements, too. Cole will be participating in a baseball camp and then playing Cal Ripken baseball again. He is pretty excited for this. So is dad for that matter. I think he is going to be quite good in only his second year. We will keep you all posted.
Kaela is in girl scouts. Darcy is having fun with that as she volunteered to be an assistant leader. They are selling girl scout cookies and having so much fun going to the planned sale spots. Kaela had a goal of 100 boxes and, with some help from mom and dad, she was well over 400 boxes after just the pre-sales. They are still selling cookies through March 14. Kaela will be playing soccer this spring. She is really excited to be playing again.
Austin is doing home school with mom. This has been quite the adjustment and mom says that she thinks this will be the only year we do home school. It is kind of hard to keep Austin focused while he has so many things he can do here at home. Ethan running around doesn't help that much either. We asked Austin if he wanted to play sports and he didn't want to do anything. After soccer registration was over he changed his mind about playing. Needless to say, mom wasn't too happy with this and had to tell him it was too late.
Ethan is just getting to be too funny. He has gotten to the point where he is talking up a storm. He is, by far, the biggest clown of all the kids. He runs around the house climbing all over everything, laying on the dog, and he is soooo good at doing things he knows he shouldn't be doing. He really keeps the whole house laughing.
Darcy is staying busy with all the kids activities, girl scouts, achievement days and doing all the things that keep our home running smoothly. She is the best wife and mother!!
Then there is me. Just when I start getting accustomed to my new role at work my role changes. The other salesman in the Idaho Falls area is transferring to Seattle and they are not going to back fill his position. This means that my payin accounts will increase by 22 to a total count of 34 paying accounts. I will be tasked with being an advertising consultant to all these accounts, suggesting additional products to these accounts as well as working with prospective clients in all of southeast and southcentral Idaho. WOW what a daunting task.
On the whole, our family is doing very well. We are excited about life and hopefully we can do a little better job at keeping our blog updated.
