Update!

Ok, according to Camille my blog needs to be updated. SO, what's new? Umm..Haylie fell out of the shopping cart on Saturday night and it was quite the ordeal. We were afraid she might have had a concussion, so we kept her up til about 9:30 just to make sure that she was ok, and it turned out she was, thankfully.
Joe has started going out "H" and it sucks big time. He gets up around 4:30 and leaves the house by about 5. Works starts for him at 6:30 and then he gets off at 5...home again around 6. It definitely is not the coolest job he's ever had. The only good thing about it is he gets Fridays off, so it's a nice break. I can't wait til Spring is here so he can start going on his real jobs. Then he's home for 6 days straight, depending on the job.
Tomorrow night we're going to the Harlem Globetrotters game!! We're so excited, but wish Camille and Trav were coming with us. We're wishing we already had our tax returns back so we could have a little extra money to have fun with, but they aren't expected to get here til Friday or Saturday (HOPEFULLY!!).
Anyway, that's all for now... when something exciting happens, I'll write again!

Never again!

Ok, so today Camille and I decided that we were gonna go shopping since she had a half day of work. Everthing started out ok.. Haylie fell asleep so I'm thinking I'm in the clear since she'll be rested up. Boy was I wrong! I don't know if she just didn't get enough sleep or what, but I'm pretty sure today was the worst day I've ever had, being out with the kids. I won't go into details but I will say that I don't think Camille's gonna want to hang out with me anymore. They were horrible!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Our Weekend!

Just wanted to fill everyone in on our weekend.... pretty good one I think. Friday afternoon, we decided that since we've lived here for about a year now, it was probably time to get Washington driver's licenses. Mine's hideous, by the way.
Friday night Joe and I went out on a date. Nothing too fancy.. just had dinner at Tony Roma's. Taylor babysat for us and I think the kids were a pretty good form of birth control for her... I don't think she'll be having any, anytime soon.
Saturday we didn't do much, but Saturday night we went to dinner, again, with Trav and Camille. SO much fun! Just went to Red Robin, but it's so nice to have big people to talk to and it seems like Joe has a lot in common with Travis and same for Camille and I. After dinner we each needed to make a Fred Meyer stop, so Camille and I sent the boys off with Haylie and Connor and we looked at Valentine's decor and had a blast!
Today we went out to church with them, and it was quite the adventure. I don't think I remember much of what was said... MY KIDS ARE SO LOUD!! So after church we came home and watched the big football game and ate a bunch of chips and dips. Yuck... won't do it again.
Probably going to dinner at T & C's house on Tuesday night and way excited!! :)

Dinner

Well we're feeding the missionaries tonight and it should be fun. I think I'm going to make tacos because it's something I can make that doesn't take a lot of brains and I can make a bunch very easily. We tried to get Camille and Travis to come over so I could have some female interaction, but they were already busy, so it looks like it's just me, Haylie and the boys!! Haha.
My mom's been in Kawaii (sp?) since the 13th and gets back tonight, so we're all very excited. Hopefully we can get together with her soon. Haylie's been talking about going to Grandma's house the last few days and made us all walk from one end of Fred Meyer to the other this morning because "I see Grandma." She's a grandma's girl..on both sides!!
Well, I guess I better go downstairs and attempt to make some desert. I think Apple Crisp will be good. :)

Sunday 1/27

Kind of blurry, but I loved how the falling snow looks in the picture.

We were very sad to hear about President Hinckley. It was sort of a bittersweet moment for us. Church was cancelled today because of the weather, so I don't know if we would have found out at church or not... but our thoughts and prayers go out to the him and his family.
On a lighter note, we had fun staying at home as a family...!! Joe and Haylie played in the snow this afternoon and Haylie made snow angels. She thought catching snow in your mouth was pretty much the coolest thing in the world!

First Timers...

So, our friends Travis and Camille told us about this blog thingy and we decided, what the heck?! This is our attempt to be cool and fit in. Doomed to utter failure of course, but like we said, "What the heck?!" Just getting our page up and going, so more later!
