On the Mend


"Don't worry folks, I'm getting better. This morning I ate some oatmeal and mom read me 3 books. Now I'm taking a nap to get some more strength back"

Our poor boys! Ethan had a very high temp on and off since Wed. We were worried because he wasn't himself and he was obviously hurting. Most of the time he just lay there, too out of it to eat or watch a movie. But his new medicine is helping, he's just wiped out. Asher has something similar, but not as bad. He's sick, but is still his cheerful self, just much more pathetic. It looks like it will be over soon, thankfully. Thanks all who were praying. It's so hard to see your little ones hurting. You feel so out of control.

Trip Planned

It's official. The boys and I are coming to California next month with my parents. For anyone out there, this is a suprise to my grandparents, so please keep it that way. They know my parents are coming, but not us. We're there from March 15 pm to the 26th. Can't wait! Isaiah has the Annual Hearth and Home Trade Show in Salt Lake City coming up around then too.

Matt, I know Ethan misses you because he talks about you every day. Even when he prays before bed, he says " ...... Jesus, thank you .... mommy, daddy, ethan (?) asher..." we ask him if there's anyone else he wants to pray for and he usually says "Matt", with the occasional grandma, grandpa, or pa thrown in, "Amen." Also if we ask him who loves him it's usually, Daddy, Mommy, and Uncle Matt.

Family Pictures


Time has been flying. Ethan and Asher are growing so fast! They are 5 and 20 months. Ethan helped me make valentine's day cakes for Isaiah. :) He's been talking more and more, starting to learn his letters, and he enjoys making forts in the living room.

Asher has started sucking his thumb all the time. I think he learned from Ethan. He's been rolling over for about a week now, and he's just starting to eat cereal. Isaiah and I are doing great as we gear up for a busy next couple of months. Be sure to check back because I will keep this updated now. Ang, you've inspired me.
