Since mom and and dad are on another mission, I thought I better make an effort to post some up date.
All the kids are back on school...yahoo! They were even ready :) We had a great Christmas and an early New Years.

I just up dated and posted some pictures on Facebook. I tried to blog them and it just wasn't working. Aaron is in Canada this week. So it will be macaroni and cheese, bake potatoes, and maybe if they are lucky Top Roman :) Everyone is in school. I am really starting to get freaked out by the extended hours of quiet :)

I keep meaning to get here and never do. We have a bunch of video to get posted as well as some pictures. Aaron should be getting back from San Fransisco tonight. His flight was delayed going and coming by two or three hours. He is rather frustrated. We are about two weeks out of school and everyone is going stir crazy because of nonstop rain. The boys are even watch documentaries, they are so desperate for something new. Their grades were great this past year, so I let each of them pick out a new toy. Trey got a skate board, Trex got a new truck, Tade pick out some Star War legos (he is checking the mail everyday for them..and is still waiting) and Tyge? well Tyge decided he wanted the game Zelda....for the Ninetendo 64 !? Not a gameboy game, not a WII game, nope a ten dollar used game for the 64. Ain't life great for my budget!
I pulled a ligament in my hip. Today is the first day in about a week I have limped around. I cancelled all the yoga classes I could and got subs for the rest. I, slept in everyday this week. Love it baby. Anyway, I am suppose to be in bed when Aaron gets home. Good Night!

I know it has been awhile. We have some pictures and video that we need to get up...Trey lost his two front teeth :)
We are getting ready to go to EUROPE on Friday and I have been frantically trying to clean, buy, and finish up all that needs to be done. I just finished Spring Cleaning today! (Well, except inside the fridge) That includes everything from heater vents to light sockets, to touch up painting on the walls. I save the fans and chandeliers for when a light bulb burns out and I have to go get the tall ladder to change them. I am tired! Have you ever cleaned a toilet that five boys use on a consistent basis? GRODDY!! I know that it is not green, but, I use a lot of paper towels for that part of the job. Seriously, how hard is it to hit the water????
Aaron, is also frantically trying to get things squared away for the trip. He is in D.C. the next two days and gets home just in time to get on an eleven hour flight...poor guy. He is VERY stressed.
It was 70 degrees today...just beautiful..it is supposed to snow on Wednesday...welcome to Utah's spring. I love it!
Still like my new minivan.
We will get some cool pictures posted when we get back.

It's been a long while. Things have been crazy. Aaron is in his third week out of town. The house looks like a bomb went off. Laundry is never ending. Dinners consist of sandwiches, Mac and Cheese, spaghetti'os, and Chicken pitas. Tyge performed at a BYU women's game and at a Utah Flash game with his SWAT team in karate. Tade got a nasty cold and started going to bed at 6:30 pm all on his own. Trey got the same cold and just wants cough drops. Trex just gets to bed late and whines all the time. We all went to the dentist; no cavities. Found out that we need to start on orthodontiscs, beginning prices start at $1000.00-$2, 000.00 per kid. I am teaching five yoga classes a week and doing a yoga section for Tade's classmates through the month of Feb. I also got a new guitar and am able to attmpt the F chords. Aaron finally got his proposal electronically sign-off on but is still trying to get the hard copy signed. We talked to him everyday when he was in Prague on Skype...COOL! I am positive that I didn't include all the drama. But I am too tired to remember.

We got a brand new minivan. About three weeks ago. It is the lap of luxury. Okay so it is still minivan, but I figure since I don't need a rubber mallet to get it started, life is good! It is a nice bonus that the seats heat up, has built in booster seats, and double DVD screens, among other really nice amenities. I know I swore I would never buy new, but the difference between new and used was so little that it didn't make sense not to buy new and get the bumper to bumper warranty. So I am driving a new van, atleast for the the next year, then it becomes old and I won't have to stress out about dings, scratches and stain.
I am also done with Christmas shopping as of last week. I finally getting in the spirit. It took until the second week of December to actually get the tree and such up. We are getting ready for a trip to California (where it is snowing!!!) right after Christmas. It will be a fun trip.
I know this is short but it is here.

As you can see it has been about a month since the last time I checked in. We have been busy and crazy. Everyone but Tade got the flu. Aaron actually went to Oregon for a computer conference and was sick the whole time. He was in bed the entire weekend. He also went to D.C. and had a very productive few days. That is always nice. Hopefully, we will see some green from it. It is kind of nice when he is gone....I don't cook or clean up :) Things get all relaxed.
My sister Kirston had her baby, (boy they named Ryder) so we have had her two older kids the past few Saturdays and then some. (My parents, her mom, are in Russia til next year, so we are trying to make sure Kirston gets some sleep) I braid Brelynn's hair each time. People wonder where I get the skill, since I don't get much practice at home :) Aaron's brother Andy and his wife also had their baby...a little girl they named Mia. We are hoping to see her before she is driving.
It is November first and was 70 degrees outside today. Sure like the weather, but I think we are all ready for some snow. Trex told his dad after they hit about ten houses trick-or -treating that he was ready to go home and go to bed and wake up for Christmas presents. And on that note....

carving pumpkins
Carving pumpkins the night before Halloween.
This is the first year anybody would put their hands into the gooey pumpkins.
It still isn't Trey's favorite thing to do.
Trex's Halloween program
Trex had his Halloween program at Kid's Village. Aaron will get the video up shortly. They sang four songs.
Doing a Power Ranger move for the camera.
Here are the pictures I promised from the last blog. We moved Trey and Trex upstairs to Tyge and Tade's old room.
Trex wanted his picture taken. We were a little worried about him staying in bed, as he was sleeping in the top bunk in his old room...We w0uld take the ladder away when he tried to get out :) Can't do that now.
And Trey not to be left out. He is just fakin it. He really isn't going to sleep quite yet...give us a half hour. :)
We moved Tyge and Tade into the playroom..notice the small flat screen they inherited when dad bought his new 47' for his walking office downstairs. They really enjoy playing the nintendo now. :)

Time Flies!
Aaron was in D.C. last week for three days. His work is really starting to take off, I think their biggest problem is hiring programmers. They finally hired a recruiter to help out. They are very expensive, but Aaron doesn't have the time to weed out applicants.
We found out this week that Aaron probably won't be graduating in December. He gave his professor his proposal to review about six weeks ago...no word back. He needs to apply before next Friday for graduation and they won't accept his application until his proposal is approved and his professor is out of town til next Friday. He is very, very, very frustrated.
I applied to teach yoga at the Pleasant Grove Rec Center. They would love to add classes but the High School gets the Center from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Which puts a wrinkle in offering classes during the preschool times and play times that are scheduled. It looks like I will be a subsitute and/or maybe get a couple of really early morning classes.
Aaron had a nice 34 year birthday. I bought him a really nice office chair and found a new vegetarian recipe and he fixed a dinner for two...him and me. :)
The boys are.....boys. We moved rooms this week and they pledged to keep their 'new rooms' soooooo clean. I guess miracles do happen :)

It's been a few since I actually blabbed. We have had a bit crazy last part of summer. Between Tade's fabulous, multiple doctor appointments, school getting started, and Aaron and I going on vacation for a few days, I am tired.
As you well know from a previous post Tade is doing really well. We are happy and a bit relieved. He is taking full advantage of the new found freedom. I think we will sign him up with his two karate brothers for a tumbling class.
Everyone is adapting fairly well to school full-time. Trex loved preschool so much on Tues and Thurs that he was mad about not having it the other days of the week, so I decided to allow him to attend another preschool on Mon and Wed mornings. He really likes it all. In fact this morning (friday) we got into a heated discussion about wether he had school or not.
Aaron and I went to Glenwood Springs, CO for a few days. It was really fun. It is nice not to be scheduled to the hilt. We went on a 16 mile bike ride with a mile long hike thrown in (up 1200 ft) the first day and it wiped us out for the next day and half. I didn't get to go river rafting because we were just too tired. Sad. We also stopped at Arches National Park on our way home for a few hours. Beautiful! We want to take the boys and spend some real time there. The trip was worth it just for that visit.
I also made a quick trip to AZ. My Uncle Don passed away. Travis and I left on Sunday night, made it to the funeral Monday early evening, and headed back shortly after and got hom late Tuesday morning. TIRED. But definitely worth the trip. It was nice to see Aunt Irl, Heather, and Kevin after so many years. I will miss Uncle Don.
Now we are just trying to get our schedule for the school year hashed out.
Keep in touch.
