Serious update on the Clayson's

I have been such a slacker lately... so I have alot to update...hopefully this doesn't end up being too long... anyway....

1. My Joshie turned 18 on May 3rd... where does the time go, I ask ya? I only have him at home for 3 more weeks, then he is on to a new phase of his life... he is moving to Spanish Fork with Steve, will be working at the Spanish Fork credit union branch with Mike.... half a block away from Grandma's house.... fun times.. he is really excited, but not nearly as excited as Payton is... he has been counting down the days for a while now.... anyway, here is a picture of my cute birthday boy with Mikal... He plans on attending UVU for a semester before his mission....

2. Again about Josh.... he graduated fromTooele High School the end of may....he has always been a very good student, and graduated with 50+ hours of college credits earned through the high school college program...it should only take him one semester in college to earn his associates degree... way to go Josh!

3. Our family went down to Manti in the middle of June for the pageant... we pulled the trailer and four-wheelers down and camped for 3 days....tradition for we Clayson's. The weather was beautiful... not too hot, not too cold... pageant was as great as it always is... Ed, Colton, and Troy had a lot of time for fishing... and the fishing was great... don't know how many they caught...way to many to count...but they only kept a handful.
Here is Troy with his "I am so sexy pose"....

Jordy Sue with her "don't mess with me stance" such a little princess...
I would go 4-wheeling with her, and would try to avoid the mud puddles... but not this little girl...right through the middle, full speed... that is not my child...anyway, we had a great time....

4. I started a new job on June 23.... working for O'currance Teleservices taking inbound sales calls for a company called Infinite Mind EyeQ. It is a reading and comprehension program. I trained for 4 weeks in their West Valley office before being sent to work from home... yep, from home. I take the calls through my home phone line. I really like it so far, other than I am working way too many hours. I have not given up my job for the chiropractor... I really like my job there, but this new job pays alot more. I thought once I was through with training, and was set up from home, and could see that it was the real deal (which it is), that I would let the other one go.... but that is going to be much harder to do than I thought... I feel like the people that I work with are family....makes me sad to think about quitting... so here I am, working around 65 hours a week.... insane.... don't even ask me why...cause I don't have an answer...

5. Jordy had her 15th birthday on July 2....again, where does the time go? I swear it seems like only yesterday that I finally had my little girl.... and she is my girl....(other than that 4-wheeling in the mud thing) we have always had a lot of fun together...her favorite thing is for dad and the boys to go away for the weekend....leaving us to play... and play we do... Happy Birthday Jordy Sue... I love you little girl...

6. We finally got the stamped concrete patio poured in the backyard, and got the sod in... the only thing left to do is seal the concrete with a gloss finish, and put the stairs back on.... it is gorgeous.... but I am sooo impatient for the all the perennials, bushes, and trees to fill in and mature...We have worked so hard trying to get this backyard in...big job when you are cutting into the mountainside...Thanks Ed... it is fabulous... ;)














well, I think that should just about catch me up....I should do a better job now that I am on my computer at home for 6 hours in the morning.... fun job that pays me to blog, IM with friends all morning, and play a few rounds of spider solitaire, all while still in my jammies.... ;) Joey
