We are officially unpacked!!!

Well it's taken us 7 months but I didn't have anywhere to put our stuff so it just sat there in boxes downstairs. Jon has been working on the nights that I teach and we've finally finished our cold storage room. WOOHOO! Our sad excuse for a food storage now has shelves to sit on! Plus all our "CRAP" in jon's words has a home! Now on to Hunter's room!




Jon's nerdy safety glasses. What a goof!!!

Christmas, skating, dancing and fishing!

Here are some fun Christmas pics at my moms house! We had a great Christmas! Jon and I set a $20.00 limit on each other and I just went a little over this year, actually that's very good for me! But Jon on the other hand... went way over. He bought us 2 tickets to a Broadway show in NEW YORK!!!!! He justifies his gift because he used our capital one reward points so I would not find out... hmm. I haven't decided how I feel about this yet! ( pretty excited!)



Hanna had her first dance recital in December! It was hilarious! She actually did pretty good but right after the song was over, all the other girls went off the side behind the curtain like they were supposed to.. except Hanna! She ran to the front of the stage and YELLED, "Mom, Dad, where are you?" oh everyone was laughing, I'll have to see if I can get my sisters video of it! She got it all on video!!! Hahaha!


Sledding gear! Ya gotta get some pics of that!



Jon and I escaped one night after the kids were in bed to go ice skating! I am so out of shape, it kicked my butt. Then there's Jon who should have been a figure skater/ hockey player for a
profession! Don't tell him!! heehee! But really he is way too good to go skating around with me!




My mom came and picked Hunter up the other day to go ice fishing at Utah Lake with her and some of our family friends. They have one of those tents you can put the heaters in and fish right out of! He was in heaven and caught 15 fish!!! He had the best time ever!




Hunter and Brandon! His good buddy!

Open Wide!!!



So sorry about the lack of posts at such an eventful time of year but we had a lot going! Most of all the wonderful, yes so wonderful, event of me getting my tonsils out ;( My advice to anyone thinking of having this done... DON'T DO IT!!!!!
It's been pretty terrible and painful but we had to do it now because jon is home for 2 weeks at the holiday time and I needed him here to take care of me and the kids. Boy he's been a trooper. My cute husband is cleaning the house right now while I post this.. should I feel bad about that? I kind of do. He's been so great though, making all our dinners and playing lots of webkinz and nintendo with the kids! He's probably excited to get back to work!
The biggest struggle has actually been keeping my milk supply up. I have not been wanting to eat at ALL because it's just not worth the agonizing pain and normally I'd say "SWEET" I have no appetitie (that never happens, I love food too much!) but now I have this little guy to feed so personal wants aside I've had to guzzle lots of broth and veggie soup. I am able to endure as long as I stay on my Percacet. That is my best friend right now. But for some reason it is decreasing my milk supply??? We have figured out some little tricks but Bridger is having to be pretty patient with me. Good thing it won't hurt him to have his meals decreased a little. He had enough storage for a while!
So in the mean time; Jamba Juice is stocking my freezer and I'm trying to get a couple more bowls of soup down ( Oh I would kill to have chips and salsa right now, The chili's ones are my weakness)

Hope you all had a great Christmas and NewYear! I look forward to reading all about it!
