Just some more ramblings

It's been a little while I know. It's been pretty busy here. A couple of Saturday's ago Jalyn was in town visiting her brother in Park City. We decided to have a little get together at my house with some people who live here now who were good friends with Jalynn. We had my family, my sister, Tamsen Peterson (Dunning), and my cousin Keri who was best friends with Jalyn in high school and of course Jalyn and her two brothers. We ate yummy food, sang fun songs, or rather listened to Jalyn and Andrew sing fun songs because really, who wants to sing when you can listen to them. We laughed and just had a great time. I didn't get any really good pictures since I still am trying to figure out how to take photos in low light situations.

But I did get some pictures

Cole and Jack loved the musics. Cole sat watching and bobbing his head the whole time and Jack was dancing on the side. Jalyn has better pictures here.

The next day I was going through my pictures and happened to find a couple I didn't take. After some persuading, I found out it was Cole. I told him he took some really great pictures of Isabelle, but not to use my camera again without asking. Here's one of the pictures he took It's actually quite humbling to look at. I think it's a great picture. Here I am reading book after book about using my camera and how to take great pictures and what setting to put the camera on, and an 8 year old just picks up my camera snaps a picture and gets this.

Well it is Spring Break this week. We have nothing planned, Nate still can't really take time off work. So the kids and I are spring cleaning the house. I'm sure you already know how excited they are about that. However, I did tell them that if they helped me every day this week, then on Friday we could go out and do whatever they want. That seemed to persuade them a little and I can often hear plans being made for "Friday Fun"

Everything else is going well. Last week I turned 31. You know I wasn't really too hard on myself when I turned 30, but some how 31 seems so much older. I was sick with some sort of stomach bug the day before my birthday. But decided to eat all the yummy food people kept giving me for my birthday, consequently it took about 2 more days to get rid of the bug. I recieved some fun presents. A couple weeks ago Nate bought me a new computer. Mine was about to die and I live on my computer. So now I have a spiffy looking, fast moving, joy bringing computer. I also received the video game "Guitar Hero". Yes I know, at 31 I still enjoy video game. Of course Nate had to annouce this to everyone at church on Sunday and now I'm afraid my coolness reputation has faltered. Izzy is starting to walk. She'll walk on her own short distances, but still prefers crawling for any long distances. Her new favorite game is to sit on the stairs and play peek-a-boo

Well that's it from our little world for this week. I'm sure there's much more excitement for next time. So keep on the edge of those seats.
