HEADLINE NEWS
School and Work canceled...SNOW!!!
To all of my Utah family, you'll need to sit down for this one...school was canceled today because it snowed. Oh and Trent is off of work because of the snow too! My life is awesome! I think this is why we live in the South. We get to enjoy the snow once every ten years and then school and work get canceled. Hooray!


We went outside and played this morning and even made a snowman because there was a ton of snow...at least in Alabama terms. At first we thought we might need to make a minature snowman, but then it kept snowing and snowing. So it ended up being bigger than the kids! As you can see the snowman naturally looks like part of the family with the big smile, the twig arms and the mohawk.


After playing outside we came in for some hot chocolate and got all of the kids changed. After changing kids, cleaning up water, and realizing I have double the laundry I am actually very grateful that I don't live somewhere that it snows all of the time. To all of you who do live where it snows I want you to know that you are amazing! We love the snow...once every ten years...or when we are on vacation.

Our beautiful kids; Jenika, Harmony, Isaac, and Kaisha. As anyone could guess I am staying really busy these days. That combined with the fact that I am a slacker is the reason why I have not updated since Kaisha was born. So I will just give a brief run through of what has been going on around here lately. Kaisha is doing good and she is such a sweet baby. When she was born the doctor and nurses had to give her a hard time to make her cry and then when she did cry it was just a sweet little wimper. The doctor commented that she was such a calm and quiet baby. To which I replied...are you sure because we don't make quiet babies at our house.
Isaac is doing good. He is in the process of potty training, which is a lot of fun. He keeps reminding me that he is a big boy and he can do it all by himself.
Harmony...dear sweet Harmony. So on Sunday I was home with the kids because they were sick. Jenika came to me a couple of times and told me that there was something that I needed to see. I was taking care of Kaisha and told her to wait for a minute. The third time she came back I was a little frustrated with her until she said, "Just look under the table". So from where I was sitting I looked and found Harmony, a pair of scissors, and a pile of hair. The good news is she kept it pretty even :)
Jenika is doing great. She is in Kindergarten and she loves school. She is reading and writing full sentences. On Sunday, after the hair cutting incident, I was getting Kaisha ready for bed and the kids were playing...or at least that is what I thought. I finished up with Kaisha and Jenika came in my room and told me to come with her. So I followed her to her room. When I got there she said, "Suprise we cleaned our room to tell you thank you for cooking us food all of the time". Of course being my mothers daughter I tried not to cry and told her thank you.
As for me, there is not a lot to report. I'm doing just fine and staying busy with the kids.
Trent is staying busy with work, school, and church. He is currently taking two classes and he is amazing. Somehow he is able to balance everything and keep the wife happy too!
Anyway that is the basics of what is going on around here. Sorry it has been so long since I have updated but better late than never I guess!!!

An Update?!?

This is Kaisha on her blessing day.
