    I feel like I should blog because it has been two weeks but I don’t have much to say so….

    Last week we babysat Diego, Lalo, Luca and Mia – Monday through Friday. They were really good. My kids just played and played the whole week. I did a few extra dishes and the toys started to take over the house but we had a good week.

    Cali and Mia ready for school.

    On Saturday we got to go to a baptism and visit with Nate and Becky and Heidi and Norb. Family time is great and baptisms are GREAT. Benji is getting ready to get baptized this year! It’s exciting to watch him grow up.Raymond came down with a nasty cold on Saturday. I keep thinking he is over it but then he gets whiny and clingy and needs some extra attention. Today he has a runny nose.

    Sunday we had my family over to watch the super bowl and celebrate Ryan’s 37th birthday. We ate a ton of food, yelled at the tv and the poor officiating, and then got a few games in. Monday the kids got out of school early and got to go to Kangaroo Zoo! Tuesday we met with Cadence homes and our builder and signed some initial papers on our new house. Wednesday we were out of food and toilet paper so at 5:00 I took all of the kids to walmart! We shopped, picked Valentines and then stayed to eat at Subway.

    Yesterday we got to meet with Benji and Packer’s teachers. Both of our kids are doing well in school. They follow directions and do their work and don’t distract the other kids. We are proud of their good behavior.

    That’s our story. We are alive. Doing the day to day. Trying to stay healthy. Getting antsy for Spring… I need to start using my camera more. Ben is off to a snow camp out in a few hours and it just started snowing so that should be an adventure. My parents leave for their cruise today! Tracie and Cedar come to visit on Monday. And Erica just had her baby this morning!!

    I don’t have a picture of cute baby Maren so here is one of my girls – they are becoming great friends and they are both surprisingly good at playing with and entertaining their little brother.

    I spent 2 hours cleaning our toy room this morning and it is not clean so I’ll be down there if you need me.
