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.

The boys love the Wii. Video Games = Family Time? Cool!

The boys all enjoyed sledding at Uncle Shane's house.

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....

The final product all lit up.


Getting ready to go trick-or-treating: The ball player, Power Ranger, the Doggy, and the Buisness Man.
