We're moving!

It's been a while since I last attempted to blog! Hopefully I'll get better at this thing! We have bought a house and are so excited(house hunting took a lot more time, energy, and patience than I ever imagined it would!!). We close on March 28th! It is a new house and they are just finishing the finishing touches on construction! The down side: MUD!! and lots of it with the snow mostly melted and no grass planted! My two little boys seem to be automatically drawn to mud and puddles when they are outside. They are excited to move into a house of our own, too. They have been sharing a room for a couple months and they are ready for their own space again! We are eager for spring to arrive - they ask almost daily to go out and play. Cass loves to ride his bike and it is finally warm enough he sometimes can! Blake still likes pushing his tonka truck. Our neighbors laugh that he has put many miles on his truck, even in the snow!! Richard enjoys his job. He likes the feel of a smaller company. He is looking forward to planting season when he will really get to know the potato planters and be exposed to how they really work in the fields! I am busy trying to keep up with everyone and have at least a little order in our lives! Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't!

Playing and Halloween!

I am trying to post a picture of my boys playing! It worked! Here they are, actually playing well together and having fun so I can cook dinner for a change! They both love tools and to fix things - engineers in practice I suppose!! :) Here they are in their Halloween costumes! Blake is completely obsessed with trains and Cass loves to play "mean" (or rough as most of us would refer to it) and to him this was a "mean" costume. They had fun!

Blake's favorite word is "NNNNNNnnnnnnnno!" and he says it with much attitude! In nursery Cass's class talked about honesty. When I asked him what they discussed he said that if someone is not wearing black pants you should not tell them that they are wearing black pants. My guess is that is the example his teacher used! I'm glad there was a handout or I would have been confused!!!

I'm new at this!!

I'm working on figuring this thing out. I think I'm getting braver!! We live in Blackfoot Idaho now and are adjusting to life in the desert once again. I'll write a better update and get a more recent picture soon!
