Hello Everyone

I thought this might be a good way to keep in touch and to let you all know how everything is going here in the great state of Idaho. Sean is really liking his job at the railroad. He walks at least four to five miles a night and is really getting some good exercise. He does not like the shift but hopefully in September something will come open where he can work days. He is working swing right now so he goes to work about 2:15 pm and then gets home around 11:15 pm. Other than the shift he is really liking it. He has been very busy at our new house putting sprinkler systems in, building shelves, pouring a cement patio, and laying about 2800 square feet of sod in the back yard. So needless to say he is learning a lot and keeping very busy. I have been very busy keeping up with Sean and the children.. You know motherly-wife duties.. laundry, dinner, errands, cleaning house, bills, baseball practice and games, running a mile a minute after Tanner. He is a monster :) etc. etc. I officially finished the inside of the house getting things hung and unpacked and decorated. So I started on the outside and in the garage with Sean. I applied at Boise State University for the nursing program and I will hear hopefully sometime around October if I got in or not. It is looking pretty good as they go on a point system and how much experience you have had. Since I have approximately 15 years I am sitting pretty good. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my dream will finally come true and I will become a nurse. Layton is liking school, making new friends and doing very well with his coarse work. He is at a 4th grade reading level and he will be in third grade next year. We are very proud of him. He started baseball for his fourth season in February and is doing great. He has hit many triples and even a couple of home runs. He is mostly playing short stop this season and seems to be liking it. He starts swimming lessons in July for two weeks then off to football for the first time. Football this year is flag and his mom feels much better about this. Next year will be tackle so needless to say I hope he doesn't like football :) Tanner, well what can we say about him other that he is into absolutely everything. You cannot keep the kid out of anything. He is on the move 24/7 literally. He is such a character with his facial expressions and his attitude. He has a temper. HMMM.... wonder where he got that from? Any ideas?? He is so different from Layton and he loves to be a little bully to his big brother. Thankfully his big brother is very calm and very sweet and very patient otherwise I would go nuts. They both bring such joy in our lives and we would not change anything about them. Well I think I have written a book by now I guess I should save some information for next time. Hope everyone is well and we hope to see you all soon. Take care. Love and kisses from Sean, Michelle, Layton and Tanner Kitchin
