9.01.07 - OUR BUSY LIVES

Helping Mommy with the Dishes. Lance LOVES bananas.


Adventurer Lance inside the Dryer!

It is almost Lance's 1st birthday and I can't believe that it has already been a year... wow time sure does fly by. Lance is really cute and his little personality is really shining through. He is a very happy little guy. He bobs and shakes his chubby body when music comes on, he claps when we say "yeah!" he points at things and says, "Saaaat?" (translated = “what's that”), he smiles and laughs a lot... we just think he is so cute. He is not quite walking yet, but I'm sure it will come soon enough. He sure likes to crawl onto and into everything though! It's pretty funny to see what he can manage to get into... the dryer, cupboards... etc. =)

We recently took a little trip down to Southern Utah and stayed at Michael’s bosses second home there while Michael did some work. It was nice to get away and spend some time together. Lance and Michael even took a ride on the Brady’s scooter!

We also got together for a little Liechty Family Dinner in Orem, UT and got to catch up with Michael’s mom’s side of the family.

Michael and I are doing well. Michael is working hard and always has a bunch of stuff going on the side. We actually just bought another house in Pleasant Grove that already has a renter in it... it's a long story, but it's a great investment and hopefully it will turn out well. Michael is also constantly buying and selling cars to make a profit. He had a convertible Corvette, now he has a huge truck (which I can hardly get in) and he already has it for sell and is looking to buy a BMW. He just loves buying cars, enjoying them for a little while, then selling them for more than he bought them for.

When Michael is not busy at work, or buying and selling cars or houses on the side, he works on the yard aka “the jungle.” Our yard is basically weeds and these aren’t just ordinary weeds, they are 4 foot tall! Way to go Michael for tackling (literally) the massive project.

Lances loves having his picture taken. Showing off those Luscious Bennett Lips!

I am doing great. I have been picking up a lot of random jobs lately. Managing my uncle’s apartments, babysitting cousins for days at a time, contracting painters.... it has been nice to earn some extra money and Lance is a great side-kick!
