Update...

I have not forgotten to update...just seem to never have the time or even anything interesting to say. So, here is what has been happening in our life.

December: We had a great Christmas. It was very humbling time for our family. We had surprises show up on our porch to make sure that our family had a Christmas. We can't tell you how greatful we are for all of our friends and family. We really realized the true meaning of Christmas...the birth of Christ and service towards others.

An awesome New Years Eve party with friends. Since we all have young kids we all left by 10:30. But it was fun anyway. We played the scene it "Office" game. I thought I knew The Office, until I played with our friend Collin. I think he has every eposide memorized!

January: We had a fun weekend out with some friends. Jackson played the Wii all weekend. He loved playing with the big kids. He tried to sleep up in the loft with the big boys, but didn't last. Secretly I was glad because I know he isn't growing up too fast and still needs his mom and dad. Bryce went out and rode the fourwheelers in the snow, tried to surf behind it on a sled and went out shooting guns. Unfortunately, I was in by the fire, sick. So Emerie and I stayed inside. We ended up leaving early because I was so miserable. Thanks guys for a fun weekend!!

Bryce is still looking for a job. He has had a few interviews and has not gotten the job for whatever reason. He is still plugging along working every possible lead and network. Unfortunately it seems we haved started a club in our neighborhood, the laid off club. Hopefully none of you will have to join!! Bryce is still working on getting his own business going with some friends of his.

I have been working as much as possible. It is nice to be able to fall back on my teaching experience, but my heart is at home with my kids. I am debating what to do for next school year...to teach full time or not. It is just so hard to know what to do.

I am so grateful for Bryce and him taking up all of the slack since I have been at work. He truly is Mr. Mom. He gets the kids dressed (yes they even match most days), attempts to do Emerie's hair, feeds them, gets Jackson to and from school on time, and even calls friends over to play whith Jackson. On top of all of that, the house is clean most of the time when I come home from work. Thanks honey for all you do!! I love you.

Well, that is our life in a nutshell at the moment. Thank you friends and family for all of your prayers and support during this difficult time that we are facing. I know we couldn't do it without you all.
