Is blogging really worth it.



I don't know about this blogging. I just don't seem to be able to keep on top of it. One of these days hopefully life will slow down a bit.

We have been working a bunch on getting the house back together. The carpet got installed and everything is painted. We just need to get some base boards in and we should be back up and running.




Cody had a puppy and he is way cute. We finally decided to name him Pooka. We hesitated to name him because we are not sure that he is going to stay a part of our family. We have enough animals running around at the moment. He is quite playful and enjoys being held.


Nessa went and had her first professional haircut. I had enough with trying to cut her hair on our own. There was only one place in the area that cuts hair and it's in the middle of nowhere. They did a great job though.



Conference weekend came around and we had a huge list of things that needed to be done around the house. That was a perfect reason to get away so we could actually listen to conference. Natalie had a big concert at ISU Friday night so a classmate of hers watched the kids while I went to the concert. When the concert got over we drove from Pocatello up to Idaho Falls and spent the night at the rest area. It's nice to have the beds made and just jump in and sleep for a while. We made a mad dash to the store to grab some stuff and took this picture of us parked next to a Walmart truck. I think we might be just a hair longer than him.



We had a lot of fun playing in the sand and listening to Conference. It was nice to get away all the things that needed done at home. Unfortunatly they didn't get caught up while we were gone. The kids had fun playing on the dunes and dad got to do a little riding. Mom even had a little bit of fun.....oh wait who are we kidding we were in sand.
Life keeps us busy. Natalie is swamped with school. She really overdid it this semester. She made it to midterms so we're halfway there. The kids are enjoying school, but don't like that it gets dark early and they don't get to spend time out in the yard after school. Before you know it spring will be here again. Bring on the snow.
