life happens....

The kids were all excited to see Santa this year. Well, besides Josh! At least Trevor is smiling, right? And, yes, Trevor did construct stephens house. That is why it is still standing!
I helped with Annas and realized that I have no gingerbread house talent. Doesn't Joshua look like that kid from A Christmas story?
Life happens even when I dont update my blog! We had a great holiday season. Thanksgiving was wonderful in St. George. It was so good to see family! Christmas was great here in Boise. The kids had a fun day with their new "stuff" but I think their favorite was getting pajamas. Kind of weird, right? We, of course, missed all our family and friends and hope that you all had a great Holiday!
We are now in the process of buying a house now that our lease is up. Our closing date is on Feb. 5th. The house is in Meridian which means our kids will have to switch schools but they want to so thats good. We are all excited, Trevor more so than I. I just remember all the work it takes to move and I kind of dread it. We will have a month to do it though. And we will just do it gradually throughout the month. It will be nice to have something more permanent and bigger! It is hard to believe that Emily is going to be 8 soon! She is excited to be baptized. My baby is growing up! Annabelle is doing really well in gymnastics. She got moved up a class level. The next class is Team which means she will have to do competition meets but we can wait awhile for that! Stephen is so funny. He has a friend that is girl who we drive home from preschool. Everytime we drop her off, he gets out of the car, walks her up to the house and opens the door for her. He is such a gentleman! Joshua talks more and more each day. He has started to sing and will repeat songs in the car. It is so cute. He sings "We will rock you" a lot. We love it! Trevor is starting school again in about a week. He took a bit of a longer break than we expected but it will be good for him to go back! That is about all that is new here! Such an exciting life!
This blog is dedicated to Katherine..... I told you I would update!!! :)

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
