I love this house!!!!

It's Getting Bigger!!!!

Although it is getting bigger, with the gracious help of T.J.'s Uncle Paul, we have finally fixed the four plumbing problems we have been having for about a month. Yee Haw!

We now are having electrical problems.

Fun Times!

T.J. took Braxton snowboarding for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I forgot I wanted to post the pictures so here they are. They had such a fun time. they went with our friend Brent and his son Tyzak and Tyler went along too. Tyler has been going for a few years now so he does well enough that he got to go off by himself and leave the slowpokes and he is my independent child so of course he loved that. It was both Braxton's and Tyzak's first time so they took it easy and ended up making about 4 runs. Braxton was very scared at first but by the end of the day T.J. said he was fine,

and of course exhausted!

We went to Chuck-E-Cheese's on Braxton's birthday (Wed., Feb. 4) with my dad and Kara and Steve. I made a cake and we had such a great time. He got a Nintendo DS and a few games. My dad also gave him a travel kit for the DS and a bag of his favorite licorice.

On Saturday we took Braxton and his friends to Nickelcade. We sang opened presents and played games.

And when all the fun was done and the nickels had run out they resorted to scavenging!

This is where the adults hung out the entire 2 almost 3 hours. Brannen started it of course and when I finally went and told them I was going home they said oh it's really 3 o'clock already? When they all finally arrived back at the house Brannen 's thumb and wrist were killing him and he didn't even want to play rock band! Brannen and Anna hung out the rest of the evening and we had a good time. I am so glad we have the relationships that we do. We really enjoy having them here.

Nice first picture to post.

We have definitely decided there is something in the house that since mom and Tom left that thinks that none of the plumbing should work right. We had problems before they left but still continue to find leak after leak after leak. So this is what my bathroom ceiling looks like.



On a funner note Braxton is turning 6 this Wednesday. This is the front of the invitation I designed for him. If any of you want to do something like this for your kids let me know I have so much fun with it!



I also went back to work today. It went way better then I expected. I am working at Wee Care Pediatrics as an administrative assistant and will eventually work into being the payroll clerk. I only working 3 days a week from 1-4 pm it is absolutely perfect for me right now and will eventually require more hours. I am so greatful for the way the Lord blesses me. plumbing and all.



PS: If you can't tell Braxton is Mario in the picture.
