Happenings...

I had a request to put new pictures up on the blog. Since Christmas it seems that things have slowed down for us. New Year's was pretty uneventful. I had to work at the hospital New Year's Eve. My co-workers and I had a snack party, watched the count down on TV and then looked out at the stairwell windows to watch the fireworks over the Salt Lake Valley. Exciting, I know!
The snow has tapered off in our area and we have had some sunny days. Matt and Carter made a tubing hill in our backyard and got to use it for one day. Matt put some kind of lubing oil on the bottom of the tube so it would really go fast. He is so creative! We were hoping for more snow so that we could enjoy it more. It is still early to think we will not be getting anymore snow.

Ashlynn and Carter are both enjoying school and playing with their new friends. Carter is getting better at reading his site words and really improving with his writing. Ashlynn is mastering tracing the alphabet and cutting. If she can find a pair of scissors she will cut anything. I am hoping that she doesn't touch her hair. I don't want to be one of those moms that has to get her haircut short to cover up and damage. Yikes!

Matt is recovering well from his surgery and he no longer has the massive black eyes. He has a follow up with the surgeon in February. As for me I am just waiting to get through winter. I miss being able to play outside without being bundled up in 20 layers (just kidding, more like 2 layers.) I am so thankful that we don't have to live in area that has a winter season most of the year. Well, enjoy the pictures. More to came later.
