Photos

Remember when people used to develop pictures and do cute things with their photos like frame them, put them in scrapbooks, or put them in captioned photo albums? But sometimes the pictures just got stuffed in a book (to be taken care of later)...well that's what I'm doing here just digitally! Here are some cuties of Ivan. Sorry, I'm not feeling very creative this morning, but I felt the photos were blog worthy.

Back on Blog

I have to apologize...it's been quite some time since I've updated the blog. I don't really know where my time has gone this past month or two. I've been out of town ALOT and I've also been spending many hours working on my new business, selling
lia sophia jewelry. This is a route I never imagined myself taking, but it has been an absolute blast and I've had a pretty sucessful start. Hopefully this will be the ticket to help Tyrel get through school. Up until now he has been working and going to school full-time, but the company he was working for just closed their Rexburg store--so he is now just a student. We've only got a month and a half of the current semester left, so I'm going to take a stab at being Ty's "Sugar Momma" and if that works out well for us, I'll continue to support the family so Ty can just focus his efforts on his studies (and family of course).

For your Ivan Update:
We enrolled Ivan in a toddler class at BYU-Idaho. It's like pre-preschool or a glorified play group. The class is offered for children 18 months - 3 years old, but the waiting list for the class is so rediculously long that most of the kids are almost 3 before they get in. I got Ivan on the list when I was pregnant with him...so he's the youngest in the class.
This is a video clip of his first day...

we're not so sure he's ready for it yet. We've gone 3 times and each time he has had a similar reaction. At least the first 2 times, he didn't cry until we reached the classroom door...last Friday we hadn't even made it in the building before he started screaming. I think Ty's going to try to take him this week and see if his reaction is any different, and if not, we may just put him back on the list and see if we can get him in a different semester.

Beautiful

Well I'm back visitng in Milton-Freewater, but this time Ivan and I left Daddy behind. He is working hard and going to school, so we're here hanging out for a few days. Ty is a sweetheart and sent me flowers for my week away. Ahhhhh!

I know that I need to get caught up on blogging...and I will.
(probably later today--so check back in a little while)
