Stevie: Computers and Sleepovers!
He loves his computer games! This is him wearing Tim's headset that he uses when he plays his games. I guess he just wants to be just like his dad!
This boy will fall asleep in the weirdest positions.
His first sleepover and grandmas house! This backpack was mine from HS. He loves it. Stevie packed: pajamas, shirt, shorts, pull ups, his blankie, his caterpillar (stuffed not real), toothbrush and toothpaste. He walked around the house like this for hours waiting to get picked up. He was so excited!
The sleepover went well. He stayed up way to late and woke up too early so was very grouchy for us the next day. But isnt that what sleepovers are all about?!
My Adorable, Loving kids!
Seriously, my kids are great. They love each other so much and share it constantly!!
I know it looks like he's trying to bite her fingers, but he's not! He's really kissing her hand.
Ice Storm 2010
This past winter we had a bad ice storm. One of the likes I haven't seen since I was in Elementary school (and Ive lived here my whole life). It there was ice everywhere.
To get these pictures of the tress, Tim and I went out while it was still icing. It was so weird walking on the snow but not sinking through it like usual. With all the ice on top it was like skating. It was quite fun!! The kids were sleeping, so we got to be really silly without worrying about them getting hurt.
Our wonderful friends, the Hansens, decided to brave through the bad weather and pay us a visit! I just love how Stacey is being all goofy and Brett is doing all the work!!! (if you cant tell, their van is covered in ice).

This icicle was almost touching the ground. I had always wanted to see one like that and we did in the backyard. That is until Stevie got ahold of it.
This winter I became infatuated with the bird footprints on the snow/ice. I think they are so neat.

Coming Soon!
I don't even know what to write about anymore, I am so far behind! BUT good news is on the way! I have just ordered a USB cable for our camera, so hopefully there will be plenty of pictures soon!! (why oh why did I not think of this before??)
We have recently found out that Tim will be losing his job this summer. So once again, he is an unemployed teacher. This is getting quite frustrating, dealing with this every summer. There seems to be some great prospects though, so hopefully things will work out soon. However, despite this hard news we have had some small miracles.
1. I have been able to watch some kids again. There is a family in our ward (at church) that is moving. She has a daycare in her home and called to see if she could give them my name. One girl is full time and two others come maybe once a month. Just from watching a few kids has helped relieve some stress of unemployment. That blessing could not have come at a better time.
2. Tim had recently had surgery on his sinuses. He got a tremendous bill, that thank goodness for insurance turned out to be a little less. However, it would still take us a while to get it all paid off. (which we are trying to do with other medical bills too, so this just got added to the pile). While Tim was at work, I got a call about setting up payment plans for this bill. I explained to her Tims work and his soon to be unemployment. She asked a few questions. Then a few minutes later she explained to me that we qualified for 100% financial assistance. Know, for those who know me, I do not like to talk to these people. I dont like to set up payment plans, I usually let Tim deal with it. So, I dont know why I told her about our situation. But it was another miracle.
From these two instances, and many more, my testimony has been strengthened a hundred fold. Our Heavenly Father knows how much we can handle. He knows when to step in and say, OK you've had enough. I feel truly blessed to have the gospel in my life. And I am so thankful for my family and all the experiences we go through together.
