Good News!!!

We just found out Justin passed his CMA exam! He took it in October but had to wait until now to find out if he passed or not. He is now a CERTIFIED Medical Assistant! We're SO proud of him! Lets hope it brings a pay raise!!!

Weird things are happening....

So I just made brownies today to take to a few friends of mine who just had babies. I usually make these out of scratch from a recipe I LOVE! Today however, weird things are happening! Take a look at all the walnuts... they've gathered in the middle with NOTHING on the edges! That has NEVER happened before! Of course, it's only because I was making them for someone else. WEIRD!!!

Funny Boy!

The other day, Estin and his friend were playing in his bedroom when he started SCREAMING bloody murder! Thinking something was horribly wrong, I ran in to find him like this... I had to grab my camera!

BIG News!!!

We're having a BABY!!!! Estin is excited and ready to be a big brother. Baby #2 due July 14th. We'll keep you posted!

What a Helper!

Estin loves to help me in the kitchen! His favorite thing is washing dishes. We wash dishes, mop the floor, and get a bath at the same time!!! I LOVE my little Man! isn't he CUTE!!!

Oh what do you do in the wintertime....

While in Utah we met up with an elder I served with, Kris Smith, and his family. We went to Thanksgiving Point and saw Santa's reindeer! We also checked out the Christmas lights and had dinner. I'm glad we've stayed in touch all these years. Another highlight of our break was SLEDDING!!! We didn't know how Estin would handle it, but he was COMPLETELY stone faced. He didn't crack a smile, a tear... NOTHING! It was actually quite funny!

Christmas 2008

This year we spent Christmas in Utah with Justin's family. We stayed in my brothers basement... it was nice to be together as our own little family. Estin was so much more fun to watch this year...besides not having to spend 1/2 of Christmas eve in the ER (like last year), he actually enjoyed tearing open his presents. The highlight of my Christmas was buying Justin a much wanted tool that was originally not within our budget. I was able to secretly save and surprise him Christmas morning. It was SO worth it!!!

Justin surprised me by building this amazing table! (The picture doesn't do it justice) I'm SO glad I have a handy husband!!! I LOVE it!!!
