Family Update

I think my last post was in December. I am a slacker but not a lot has changed since then. Life is pretty status quo - that is good!! School continues to keep my very busy. I feel that I am learning good stuff so that is making me happy!! Justus finished up with another wrestling season a couple of weeks ago. His team took 2nd at state. It was kind of disappointing to only be 2 points from taking first. The boys are doing all doing well. Caleb pulled out one of his teeth tonight and he was so proud of himself. We are planning a trip to San Diego in March. I cannot wait to leave this cold place. I am ready for spring. I am always at least 2 months ahead of Mother Nature though. Life is good!!

Where's the beard?

Don't kids just say the cutest things sometimes. My kids are getting older so they seem to be making less of these cute statements - dangit! Chase is still able to get a few out occassionally. The other day we were looking at pictures about the birth of Jesus Christ when all of the sudden Chase bursts out, "That can't be Jesus, where's the beard?" I realized then that I have not done a very good job with familiarizing my kids with Christ's birth.

WINTER IS HERE!

Well wouldn't you know. I finished with school on Friday. I don't work this weekend and I am not even on call for the hospital. Just my luck - we get dumped on with snow!! I was stuck inside all day on Saturday. I left the house to shovel the snow, but that was it. The boys enjoyed it though and even got some sledding in. We stayed in and drank hot cocoa until it was coming out our nostrils and pigged out on home made cookies. The snow let up in the evening so me and Justus went and saw The Four Christmases. That was really funny! I recommend it. It says that it is PG but I don't know if I would want my little boys to see it.

Well I have a lot of catching up to do. Life has been really busy with school and work. My life is for the most part very un eventful which I don't mind. The boys just finished up wrestling last week and they did really well. We are now headed into the Christmas season and I am very excited. I have already spent way too much money on Christmas presents. Hopefully when school is finished next week I will have more time to get back to some of the things I enjoy doing.
Tomorrow we are headed over to my cousin Nathan's homecoming. I can't believe it has already been 2 years and I never wrote him or sent him any money like I had planned. Procrastination gets me no where!

What's up with that hair???

This week at school it is Red Ribbon Week. All week long they have something fun to do. Yesterday was crazy hair day. I told them that they didn't even need to do their hair, it always looks crazy!!! They did not find that funny.

Friday was the Moutain Crest Football Game. It was FREEZING!!!! We only stayed until about half time. The boys were so excited to get their hair colored. They are faithful Mountain Crest fans. It kind of makes me laugh how they have such strong ties to a school that they are years away from attending. ?Maybe a little brainwashing on Dad's part??

Funny Story

Today the kids were out of school because of teacher prep day. I however did not have that same luck and had to go. My mother was very willing to come over and babysit. She loves to have the boys brush her hair when she comes over. Today was no different, the boys were brushing her hair and she fell asleep. Now remember that my mom doesn't have a lot of hair since she is on chemo. So the hair that she has is a very precious commodity, and she is anxiously waiting the arrival of more hair. Well Chase took it upon himself to give her a hair cut while she was sleeping. She woke up to her precious hair on her sweatshirt rather than her head!! Needless to say I don't think that she will be having those boys of mine comb her hair anymore!!! You know how incidents like this seem funny after the initial shock has worn off. I hope right now that she is laughing over this - and that she has put Chase back in the will.

Long Time No Blog!

I guess that I took a little vacation from the Blogspot scene. But that has been my only vacation!! My life is pretty boring lately. School, homework, work & EAT (of course!!). The other day I was studying and had to go get the phone. When I came back Chase had put my glasses on and picked up my book. I thought that it was so cute - I had to take a picture.
It is UEA this weekend so the boys didn't have school today nor do they tomorrow. It has been fun being with them. I tried to talk Justus into skipping work - what a geek!! He wouldn't do it!!
I have been reading this book called the Glass Castle. It is definitely a social work book. If you want to read a good non fiction, this is the book! It is unbelievable what some people have to go through in life. It makes me grateful for my parents.
I can't believe that it is already the middle of October and FREEZING in Logan. Last weekend I got stuck in the snow when I went to see a patient on hospice. I was only about 45 minutes North of Logan. Man I live in the North Pole!!
