Miss Me?

34 comments on my last post? You guys make me feel so good! I should repay you with an incredible post filled with wisdom and beautifully taken photos, but unfortunately it is just an update.

I have been feeling neglectful of the good ol' blog these days and so thought I would post a little somethin somethin. Life has really just settled down for us. With no trips in the past 3 weeks we really are just taking it easy at home. Thanks to everyone for all the nice birthday wishes. It was a very relaxing Sunday. Nolan wouldn't let me lift a finger, or a child all day so I just lounged. Got some great jeans, black boots, 30 candy bars, and a few other things.
The day before my birthday Nolan had kind of a bad day. He went on a youth retreat with the bishop and priests in our ward. They were snowmobiling and Nolan went of this little jump, but fell off the sled. Then the throttle was stuck, so it kept going and drove right off of a HUGE cliff. They couldn't see it anywhere and there was no way to go down there to get it. So we felt terrible, especially Nolan he was just sick about the situation, and the Bishop wouldn't let us think about paying for it, so it was just a bad situation. Anyways, last weekend he and about 5 other guys all went back there after renting Ice shoes and hiked down to find it. They did find it and they were able to dig their shoes in, and pull it all at the same time. It was like 1500 feet down a really steep slope, but after about 4 hours of pulling and everything they managed to get it out. It really is a Miracle how good of a condition it is in. It actually started. And while there is definitely some repairs, we are happy. I wish I could post pictures of how steep it was, but don't know how to do it off the camera. When Nolan got home that night he was so sore he felt like JELLO.


Grace turned 4 months and we took her in to get shots. She was 13.7 lbs. and 25 inches. Since coming home she has struggled with a cold and I don't think the shots helped, lack of sleep has been the most major effect. I started feeding her rice cereal last weekend and she has a lot of fun eating it. I can't decide if I am going to stick with it for awhile though, it's a lot of work.

Where Grace hasn't been sleeping, Thomas has!! I really shouldn't jinx it, but we have had 3 consecutive nights that he has slept through the night. I guess the must decide who is going to be up at night now. The sleep has done him well though, he is so happy and easy going during the day, I am loving it.
I Haven't been feeling so well so I usually get the kid ready and stay in my pj's for most of the day. I hope it will leave soon because I feel like such a bum all day, and just do the minimum of getting the kids fed, changed, and put to bed. Otherwise, Grace and I lay on the floor chatting, and Thomas throws CARS at us. Fun times.
