What Mark is up to in Dubai....

This is just one of the building's that will be built. Mark has been working on a block building, hopefully he will send pics soon. He said today that he had ten more blocks to lay and then he could do some real work. Which is basically building these steel training buildings. Every time I talk with Mark, I miss him more and more. This is quite the experience, probably more for him than me!

WHERE'S MARK NOW YOU ASK....

One might think from the picture above that he is in a very snowy place, but.....

guess again...this is the jobsite....

...but then again...look at all this beautiful water....

...and expensive cars....guessed yet?

...and amazing scenery....

...and cute stores (only because we call kaycie Kikki)...

...but then again...this is where he sleeps at night....

...but during the weekends...he plays here!!

....this is the biggest clue!!

....okay already...he's in Dubai!

Mark has been gone for exactly two weeks! We miss him so much! He isn't really having that much fun, he is in the middle of no where! He is about an hour and a half outside of Dubai, closer to Abu Dahbi. They are building a training facility (shooting range) for the Prince! Ah yes! I hope to post pics of the facility!

What an amazing experience for him, but very humbling! We love him so much for sacrificing time away from his family in order to support them!

At home, we are surviving...we are not able to talk to him much, because he is 11 hours ahead! But, we try as much as possible!!

We have had so much support from family & friends, I can't thank you all enough!! We love you all!!

UPDATES

It's been a while since I've blogged...so it's time to play catch up! The Bleggi Family had a great Christmas. Soon after we said goodbye to Mark and off he went to Jacksonville, Florida.

He came home for a bit and we were able to head to St. George for the weekend as a family! We had such a blast and it was fun to have Mark around!!

NEW ADDITION - I GUESS???

Did you know that even if you tell your 13-year old son "NO"...that means "YES"? Hmmm...confusing I know, but apparently this is how things go in the household of the Bleggi's!! Hence the pictures below!! Her name is Scout. She is rather cute, but a complete terror and ask me if I have anytime in my life right now for a DOG!! Wish us luck!!

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY JAKE

Jake has officially entered the teenage years!! He is so excited!! For his birthday, so far, his dad planned a day of pheasant hunting. Several of Mark's friends and their kids went as well. Jake is really excited to get out on the slopes with his new board!

Everyday I am amazed how Jake has grown. He was once my cute little baby boy and now he's a very self reliant teenager. Who is very caring and loving to all those around him. He has a very fun personality and is definitely his dad's son!

We love you Jake and hope that you have the best birthday!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween 2009; Jake didn't want play dress up this year.

Kaycie was a gothic princess & Riley was a Pirate! We went to Grandma & Grandpa Mellors for Chili and then off for some trick or treating. The kids had tons of fun and the weather was great!!

Riley celebrated his 4th birthday on September 30th. For weeks, he's been telling me he wanted a Thomas party, so he was excited to see the balloons, trains, and Thomas toys! We had friends and family come celebrate with cake & icecream. He loved opening his presents and it was so fun to watch him get excited about each one! I cannot believe my baby is "4"...time flies!
