Not much new except Steve went to his first drill this weekend. Marching is hard was what he had to say. Actually I think it was, "Marching is really hard."       I'm done going to Heber. Working full time is just too hard with 5 kids! Even if all 5 are only part-time. Plus now I can actually get back a little to the job I really love, of caregiving for the elderly. Soooo life will hopefully be back to "normal".   I will post a pic of my handsome hubby in uniform as soon as I can get one (sometimes he's camara shy) Guess that sums it up.  Oh, it's snowing again!!!! 

Big news!

Ok, so the big news is... Steve has joined the National Guard. Yes, that's right. He was sworn in this week and will be shipping off in May for basic training. He will be gone for 6 months including his specialty training, and jump school. He is a little crazy, but he's ours and we love him, and we're proud of him.

Here are some pics from Chloe's bday. 

December

Well December was busy, and now I've got some catching up to do. So... Chloe turned 13 on the 13th, due to leap year though it was on a Saturday. We gave her a karaoke machine which she loves. Merry Christmas! We did the usual and went to Matt and Teran's  in the afternoon. Sandwiches have become our tradition for Christmas dinner/lunch which across the board makes everyone happy. The kids got their usual lots of presents, even though this year we swore we were going to take it easier. But I guess with 4 sets of grandparents, and an aunt and uncle who spoil like grandparents, even if we gave them nothing they would still be spoiled! Favorites of the year were.... bratz dolls for Tait-fearing they were going to be gone from the shelves on Jan 1st. Pokemon cards for Nate-the stack might be as tall as him now! Twilight related material for Chloe-there is a twilight store at the mall that sells anything you can imagine with a twilight twist. Dvds for Quinn-her mom got her a dvd player. And converse shoes and cash for Addison. Happy New Year! We went to Joe and Shell's and played games, always fun!
