hello

wow a lot has happened in the new year and most of it wasn't really what we wanted!  But I know that it is how things are supposed to be!  

For valentines day weekend we went to my brother's house in st. george to help him get his life back in order!  My dad was there already he came with Matt and then we followed my mom and my cousin Chelsea   We had a pretty nice weekend the only problem was that i think we may have gotten spring fever! :( then we had to come back home to this stinky cold weather!  and it really was stinky!  there was a smell coming from the salt lake when we got off the freeway!:P it was yucky but luckily we couldn't smell it from our house!  I had a lot of fun going to the outlet stores!  I found one of those things that you put olive oil in that's really cute!  It's hand painted with sunflowers!  it doesn't really match my kitchen but neither did the other ones and i have been wanting one of those for a really long time!  It's a smaller one but i think it will be good for our needs and now i don't need to choose the olive oil i buy based on the container it's in!  And it was only 5 bucks! :)  I have already got my oil in it!  Anyways!  On valentines day we had a bbq!  We has steaks and fish!  Melissa's friend Bonnie Kay came for dinner!  It was really a nice dinner and it was really yummy!  We had strawberry shortcake for dessert!  It was really good!

On Friday we got our tax money!  I am so excited because we are going to get a washer and dryer!  things will be so much easier once we get it!  We are going to get a refurbished washer and dryer from a place called best appliance!  We also will start potty training once we get it because that will make potty training so much easier!  

Next week is kindergarten registration!  I am so nervous!  There is so much we need to do for it!  We have a dr. appointment scheduled for next tue. at 3 and we still have to get his birth certificate!  I just don't feel ready for him to go!  I know that he is but it's just that i'm not ready!  It's kindof like when it was getting close to the due date and i just wanted a little more time to get ready but un like this i wanted the baby out!  With this i would rather he just start going back and be my sweet little baby boy!  I just don't want him to grow up, i want him to be a toys r us kid, just kidding!  It is kind of exciting though but i still have a lot of questions!  This will also put a lot more responsibility on my part as well!  I will have to make sure he gets up and gets off to school i will have to make sure he is getting his school work done!  I will have let go and hope that i have taught him well enough that he will be respectful to his teachers a peers!  There is a lot of pressure with going to kindergarten, luckily it's on the parents and not on the children!  Alex is so excited to go to school!  I hope that he will continue to enjoy school!  Also this spring we are going to get him signed up for T-ball!  I am really excited for that!  It is so much fun to watch those little kids out there playing!  If you are low on entertainment and really need to get out go find a local t-ball game!  I've also heard that this little ones in soccer are great for that too! :)

Well that's all for us for now i think!   I don't think things will be slowing down anytime soon for us so i guess we will just have to get used to this new busy lifestyle we have!  I think it just comes with the kids!  I'm sure after a while we will get used to it and it will feel like we slowed down and then something else will be added to make us busy again!  Judging from my parents things don't ever slow down they just get busier and you just have to learn how to manage your time!

Love the
