Hey i actually caught a smile on his face!!!

Is anyone out there??

so I am finally sitting down to update this blog although I am sure that everyone has given up on me and has stopped reading. Oh well I will write for myself then... so self, what's new?

-Well, the semester is now over and although it hasn't hit me yet I'm sure it will on Monday when I have no where to go and nothing due! It has been snowing like crazy here but don't worry we won't get snowed in because our neighbours really like to shovel! 

-That is so awesome! you'll have to bring him some hot chocolate as a thank you someday.

good idea.

-So what are you going to do for the next few days before heading up to Montana and then Canada??

-Well my house is in desperate need of some deep cleaning, i have been avoiding it and busying myself with school work but now i have no excuses,

Besides being lazy and just plain not wanting to do it,

-Well of coarse, there are always those excuses but I'm not going to let them get to me this time!

-That's it positive thinking always works!

-What has Izaac been doing lately?

-um... not much besides the normal things, hiding clothes behind the fan, using the carpet as a Kleenex, headbutting everything, pulling every pot and pan that i own out of the cupboard and strategically placing them around the house so no matter how many times i put them away i can always find another piece as soon as i turn around. 

-o.k. what is Cora doing?

-Well, she is smiling and laughing like crazy. she loves people and always wants to reach out and touch your face. she has rolled over front to back many times but still has a hard time sitting up. i think she has been teething but nothing has popped through yet. probably just as well as she has taken to clamping her mouth shut and turning her head whenever someone more interesting comes near her and catches her attention. it is most painful. one of those perks of being a mother i guess.

-ya, they can be so annoying one second and then be completely adorable and it makes you realize that you don't really want to drop them at grandma's house for a month and go on a romantic vacation with your husband  pretending that you don't have kids.

-I suppose your right, that vacation can wait a few more years. as long as there is the thought of it there I can have something to hold on to!!

-Ya, it has to wait until after dental school at least. How is that whole process going?

-Justice had an interview at UNLV but we are still waiting patiently to hear back if we are going to be semi permanent residents in Las Vegas.

-oh, that's right you are doing your student teaching there this coming April. are you guys excited?

-definitely! we are so ready to move on. we have loved Rexburg and living here but after many semesters of friends leaving and us always staying we are ready to be the ones moving on! plus we are really excited to live near family! i have an aunt and some cousins down around there. I love family! that is one thing that i miss living so far in the states, but it is always nice to go home and visit.

-cool, 

-ya i thought so,

-I guess I had better get going to bed now,

-Ya me too. Hey, do you think anyone else will eavesdrop on our conversation?

-you had better hope not or they may think you are crazy,

-probably so.

The Oddities of Izaac

O.k. the mind of a 1 1/2 year old just cracks me up. lately i have noticed that Izaac has taken it upon himself to empty his and Cora's drawers and put their clothes behind the fan that is in their room. This task of his isn't all at once mind you. he simply takes one or two shirts, pants or whatever and puts it behind the fan then continues on his way. i have watched him do this many times for the past few weeks and mentioned it to justice. he decided that we should experiment. so we moved the fan to the other side of the room behind the chair and right next to the wall leaving the clothes where they were in his pile. he came into the room and noticed the change so he picked up a huge pile of clothes and carried them to the other side of the room and tried to put them behind the fan. when he realized that there was no room to do so he dropped the big pile in front of his bed and left the room to do something else. I could not stop laughing. I have no idea what he was doing but how weird is that? my son the crazy hoarder!

Happy Halloween!!

~~Happy Halloween~!!!~~
Cora by our car at the Trunk-or-Treat

CANDY!!!

Izaac definatly got into this whole Trick-or-Treating thing. He was so cute with his little "Teek a Teet". We had a trunk-or-treat at out complex Izaac loved going around with daddy and getting candy from everyone. he quickly realized that all of the pumpkin bags that everyone was carrying were filled with candy and often helped himself to other kids treats.

Fall Fun!!

Pictures!

random updates from the past few months

so... it looks like i have been slacking in my blog posts. So, I'll try and do a quick update for everyone. these aren't really in any order it is just what i remember as i remember it.
* We got to visit Justices parents for a few days. Izaac had fun with Grandma and Grandpa. but mostly with Jake, the dog, Izaac thought he was so funny and kept running after him saying "puppy". it was kind of a love hate relationship as Jake often stole the food from Izaacs hand when ever he was walking around. Izaac would be so confused whenever it happened. It was nice to hangout and relax for a few days.
* our fishes died. the two orange ones went first and the other one died a week or so later. Izaac still points at the bowl and says "Fishes". i wonder if he even notices that they are gone. I guess it is a good thing that we didn't name them!!
* Justice started work at Norsun. we rarly saw him during the brake. but he had two weeks off once school started. too bad our vacations didn't coincide.
* I am back in school and i love all of my classes. i am taking 19 credits and it is definatly a challange especially with two kids. Poor Izaac is feeling neglected. he gets so upset when Justice or I leave. i have to keep telling myself it is only temporary and will be over in less then a year! we just have to make it until next July.
*Izaac is starting to talk a lot more he is really good at copying us. we were at applebees a bit ago and justice was playing around talking to him and he asked Izaac to say Cowabunga. and sure enough Izaac comes out with "Cow wa wung a" it was the perfect amount of syllables and sounded so much like it we both stoped and then started cracking up. he hasn't repeated it though.
* Justice and I celebrated our third Anniversary!!
* Cora now weighs 10 lbs and Izaac about 24lbs.
* We went to the state fair in Blackfoot. Izaac had fun seeing all the animals and looking around at everything. Cora just slept the entire time.
* We went to the Idahofalls Zoo. it was so much fun the Zoo is the perfect size for Izaac it wasn't too big but there were still a lot of neat animals. he loved watching the Monkeys. there was one monkey that kept comming up to the glass and following us when we moved. we thought that he must have liked us until the Zoo keeper lady told us that he was very teritorial and if the glass wassn't there he would have attacked us... hmmm... good thing for the glass. we still told Izaac that the monkey liked him.
* Cora is the best smiler! she is so adorable whenever someone looks at her she brakes out in a huge grin she is so cute and loves to be tickeled and laugh!

well I guess that is all for us for now. or at least that is all i can think of at the moment.
