Yep, Still alive

Yes we are still here but taking a break from blogging. Please see facebook for our lives.

Facebook addiction.

So I continue to neglect this blog since I am on facebook everyday but thought I would send a quick note as to what is going on in our lives. Griffin's week was exciting as he lost his first tooth. I would hear him praying for his tooth to come out and was wiggling it for months saying it was loose and finally the day came. The funny thing is the exact same day my step sisters little girl who is the same age lost her first tooth so that made it even a little more special. What are the odds? Ian continues to be full of spunk and as loveable as ever. He talks CONSTANTLY! Still begs to bake cookies and be the helper in the kitchen. Gus and I are still working lots. We are counting down the days until our big family vacation in June and can't wait for a little sun, fun, and relaxation. Starting to prepare for Ian's 3rd birthday in a couple weeks. My parentals will be coming to maybe arrange a little family reunion at our place while they are here. Otherwise we are all enjoying our nights outside riding bike or playing ball. Will repost someday if there is anything noteable.

Jan update

OK, so Gus gave me heck for letting the blog slide so here I am. Lots going on that don't really want to blog about but this crazy life keeps us going. Took Griffin skiing a week ago for the first time in preparation for his trip to Big Sky with Gus and Grandpa Ed. Initially had a hard time getting the hang of it but eventually loved it. Anxious to hear what he thinks about his first trip to real mountains. He has a need for speed and heights so hoping that helps in him learning to ski this winter. Work for me has been bizarre. Plan is for me to be at the new Bethany within the next few days so I am looking forward to the change and new challenges. Gus continues to keep busy at work and still going away a couple nights out of town every month. Haven't been to Bismarck in way to long but hoping to get there soon and mom and Don will be here next week. Boys are doing well. Griffin is working on reading and his parents are working on being his homework helpers; let's just say we have a new respect for teachers trying to teach disinterested 5 yr olds to read. Ian still keeps us laughing and is always such a happy dude. Well, there you go...our life in a nutshell lately. Here are just a couple recent pics.
