It's a Heat Wave!!

Well okay maybe that's going a bit too far. But hey it sure does feel like one since last week. The high most days last week was 8 degrees. The low, -16. And of course that was the day I had to take Gavin to an early morning practice because he couldn't find his license. And since there was no place to go (in the wee hours of the morning)I sat in the car only letting about 5 minutes go by before I had to turn the car back on. Oh the joys of Rexburg. But now it is... should we say "normal". And boy does it feel like a heat wave. It is about the mid 20's, and bearable. The kids finally had the chance to go out and play in the snow.

Yep, Basketball Season Again!

Gavin is at it again. He made the JV basketball team, and one of the best things about it is that he gets to be on the same team as his cousin Brandon. Well the other night they had a great game and won by about 20 points, but unfortunatley along with the good comes the bad. While Gavin was defending a guy, the guy ran him over. As Gavin fell to the ground, the kid stepped on his hand giving him a burn from the bottom of his shoe. It literally left the kids shoe mark on his hand/arm. Gavin is hoping it will scar so that he will have a really neat marking on his arm. So silly! :)

Joy of Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we were so blessed to be able to have family and friends this year. My mom, dad and sister Cheri came up from Utah. We had a wonderful weekend together, and aunt Cheri brought her Wii. Needless to say we hardly saw the kids over the weekend. We reminded ourselves this is exactly why we will never get one. :) We were so excited to learn that our good friends from graduate school would be coming out also. It was fun because Cheri was once their nanny for about 9 months, so of course they knew my family also. It was wonderful all being together and reminiscing once again. We are so glad that everyone made the sacrifice to come and be with us. Unfortunately we didn't take very many pictures, but here are the few we took Thanksgiving day.
