I'm not good at this blogging business!

Okay, so I stink at blogging. Facebook is way easier. So much has happened since I last posted that I could never catch up. We went to San Francisco as a family for spring break, maybe I will even try to remember how to put pictures on here again and post some of them.

Saturday Chris and I are running in the Ogden half marathon, so we have been getting ready for that. I am really hoping to beat my time from the last two years. Yes, both years I had the same time, oh wait, no the second year I was a second slower. Yeah that stank. Third's a charm right!

I can't wait for school to be out! I am really burned out from doing homework, and it will be fun having the kids around for the summer. Three cheers for summer!

Waah... I have a cold!!

I am so mad! I have a stinkin' cold. My nose is running like crazy. Okay, this just means this is it. I am going to get this cold out of the way and not get sick the rest of the winter. That is the plan anyway. Wish me luck.

Here Come the Holidays!!



I am so excited for the holidays. Saturday I decided that since Christmas was only one month and ten days away, we should put up our lights. Chris promised me he would do it this year since we now have a one story house. I was the one who always put them up at the other house. So, anyway, Chris got them up and turned them on and realized that five of the strands did not work. So, he took them all down and took out each individual light bulb and sanded off each wire. I told him he was crazy, but he said he refused to pay forty dollars to buy new ones. Well, it actually worked! So, he put them all back up again, then one of them was not working again. So, once again he took those down and fixed them again. They look awesome!!!

Then I decided to put up the Christmas tree in the living room. Last year because we had just moved here, and had to have the piano upstairs, because we were finishing the basement, we only had a little two foot tree sitting on the piano. I didn't realize how much not having one last year affected the little kids. When I got the tree out, they where going crazy they were so excited that we were going to have one this year.

Here is a coupleof picture of our house. It is kind of hard to see what it really looks like, but it is cool. You also can't see that we have lights on the six trees on the south side of our house.

Travis' 8th Birthday!!!


Happy Birthday Travis! I can't believe that he is 8 already. He was so excited he woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep. Today is his first day at cub scouts and they are going to see the play "Sleepy Hollow." He is so excited.

Brandon and I went to the pumpkin patch for preschool this morning. Boy was it freezing! Katie went yesterday with the Kindergarten. I sure do miss those warm summer days already. I have been freezing all day.
