Winter. is it over yet?

this ...has been a great winter, I think that the hardest part is Ethan has been cooped up like a chicken and gets cabin fever quite often. I often find him in the backyard in his pajamas i might add playing. and then his feet get wet and he comes in crying to me about the wet cold feet. I have to remind him that he needs to wear shoes (and be dressed) when he is outside. I do believe that the winter is coming to an end. and seeing how today was the official beginning of spring We can start to celebrate the end of winter. ahh but what is that that I see brewing in the distance another winter storm. dont get me wrong We can always use the moisture seeing how we live in a desert. but i want it to be spring. the cool weather (NOT COLD) the pretty little flowers.might i add that my wonderful neighbor had crocus flowers blooming and i love them. I cant wait till i can have a beautiful flower garden. it wont be as elaborate as hers but simple and beautiful none the less.

lately?

We went to the Dinosaur museum in ogden it was soo much fun. this is a new species of dino that they found. we got a neat behind the scenes look at it.

This is a new species of t rex. it is the oldest in the world. it is much much smaller than the t rex that you or i are use to

Well a ton has happened. We are moving. When we are not sure. We have the house up for sale. (that happened about a week ago.) We have been looking at homes. we put an offer on one in Brigham city. It is soo cute and nice. it has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen needs to have the cupboards updated or painted another color. it has a formal sitting room upstairs and a nice big family room down stairs. It has a huge cupboard computer desk in the family room as well. The rooms down stairs are a little small but one is set up as a reloading room and the other a scrapbook room (perfect for Aaron and I) It has a basement laundry room and a big food storage area. Aaron really likes the deck it is made from the trex decking so he will never have to stain or replace any of it. it has a storage shed in the back and a nice little garden area. The only downfall is that it doesn't have a garage. But we looked into it and we can build one. (later of coarse) We find out monday if they accept our offer.
We sold our tent trailer. we deiced that it wasnt for us. we like tent camping. and maybe later we will get a trailer.
Ethan has gotten soo big. on his last checkup he was 20 lbs and 30 in tall. still in the 2% for his weight but not too bad. He loves to play with the puppies and go for walks and car rides. He is not a big fan of vegetables but he really loves mac and cheese. seams like that is all he will eat everything else goes on the floor. He got a hair cut last saturday. so handsome. I think his hair gets blonder and blonder every time we cut it. well ta ta for now

Well Misty is well. She is much more than we expected. A handful if you might say. Halloween has come and gone. Thanksgiving has come and gone. for thanksgiving we went to aunt Mindys house. It was good, Ethan loved playing in the tree and the food was excellent. I really loved the sweet potatoes, and the stuffing. Christmas was good. we all got what we wanted. After we were done opening presents and playing with what Santa brought. we went over to My dads house. then we had dinner with Aarons Parents. With the new year we have decied to un clutter our lives we are making several trips to the di to make donations and such. we hope to finsh the basement here soon. Aaron has made me a scrapbook desk/ work space. I get to scrapbook upstairs again. we got us a little video camera for christms. It has been fun playing with it and making videos. Aaron has made a you tube channel that he is posting videos to. he has only posted one. I dont know the site, when i do i will let you know. Aaron is working at westing house western zirconium plant. and he is going to school he is studying to become a mechanical engineer. He is taking a health class and a nutrition class this semester. Now if we can get the financial aid to come in before his tuition goes late again. Ethan is growing. He is 15 months now. (well on the 11th he will be) Our 8th wedding anniversary is on the 18th. it is crazy to believe that 8 years have gone by so fast.

ducks and hiking

We went on a hike a little while ago. It was nice to get out when the weather was good. Aaron wore Ethan on the front on the way up and the back on the way down. Ethan fell asleep on the way down. It was cute. Aaron liked that his boy "cuddled" up to him
Ethan was sitting in the living room one morning after breakfast just cute as could be and smiling couldnt resist a photo.

Sunday (5-17) Aaron and his friend were out in the front eating breakfast burgers and knoticed this cute little family in the yard. by the time i got out with the camera they crossed the road and then decied to come back. Way cute

took this one yesterday. cute little bugger isnt he
