sorry...

Hey there. Sorry to be so lazy, but life...
Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving was great, we went to Rigby and stayed w/my family, this was the first time in 5 years that we've all been together, so it was really nice. my boys got to meet my brother and his wife who live out east. It was a lot of fun.
Christmas:
Christmas was great too. We stayed here in Pocatello, and didn't make it up to Rigby until New Year's. It was great, lots of snow, lots of fun with Dennis's family. His sister got a Rhino ATV and they all had a blast riding! It was so much fun. I loved having Christmas morning at home. We stayed up most of the night wrapping presents. so, on Christmas night, I went to bed at 8:30 w/Grayson and was out for the night! I haven't done that for a while!

Dennis and I both had to work Christmas Eve, yuck. Who wants to get their teeth cleaned Christmas Eve? Seriously? I was not a very happy camper, sorry to my co-workers that day, but I was a little grumpy to be there when there was so much to do to get ourselves ready for Christmas. I did get out earlier than expected though, which was really nice! Austin was so fun to watch this year. He was so excited about Santa, although any time he saw him anywhere he hid. Anytime he said the word "present" a big smile crossed his face, it was really cute. Grayson had more fun with the wrapping paper than anything, I'm pretty sure every picture he has something going into his mouth, not that that's a surprise, at 6 months, he's 18 lbs!
Austin is potty training, the first round didn't go so well, so we gave it a break and came back to it one day when I got fed up w/changing 2 sets of diapers. I told him he was a baby and he did not like that one bit, so he's now a big boy wearing underwear, and rarely anything else. He did really well and was dry for 5 days straight, then we kind of lost some ground with the holidays and traveling and we're almost back to square one, but he's doing much better now.

Grayson got his first tooth, followed promptly by his second one and is getting back to sleeping through the night. He had thrush, yuck by the way, 2 teeth coming in and a cold all at once, and was one unhappy camper! He's doing much better now that the teeth in. He's up on all four and almost crawling, he pulls and pushes himself all around the room. He's generally just a good-natured little guy. We love them both so much.

Dennis is busy studying for the LSAT in Feb, I don't see him a whole lot between work, study and basketball season...

I have been busy w/work and our household, I'm really trying to be better at being a housewife and a more patient mother. I am really bad at both! We got a wii for Christmas and a Wii fit, which I LOVE and I'm trying to do it every day so I can lose some weight. I am sick sick sick of the fatness, and want to get back to my confident skinny beautiful self, which I haven't seen for a while. Young Women's also keeps me busy, my beehives are so sweet and fun and I just love them to death!
So, if you didn't get a Christmas card from us, it's probably because I didn't have your email address...I have 30 Christmas cards sitting around here and not a bit of ambition to send them out, so they got emailed. At least I did something at all! ;)
