9th Anniversary!!

Last Wednesday Aaron and I celebrated our 9th Wedding Anniversary!! We were all geared up for a quiet and lonely Anniversary. Aaron and I talk every night we look forward to that time but lately Aaron has been so down and discouraged. Monday night I talked to him and had to really talk him into staying in Twin Falls and toughing it out. After having him home for a little over 2 weeks it was really hard to let him go and for him to come back. I went to exercising Tuesday morning where my older sister encouraged me to go see him, so after a lot of shuffling of responsibilities, I decided to do just that. The boys and I took off early Wed. morning for Twin Falls. After 10 long hours of driving we finally made it!! Aaron was walking out of the school talking with a teacher, we hid behind a wall and jumped out and surprised him. It was the perfect anniversary surprise!! We struggled to find much to do a first. It is very cold here and we don't know our way around or what to do for fun.......... but when Aaron got home we had a lot of fun. We went swimming, out for dinner, played cards and just had fun being together as a family. We went to church today, and are gearing up for the long ride home. (YUCK)

Christmas Break!

We had a Great Christmas Break!! Aaron was able to make it home!! He flew in during a brief break in the weather when the plains were able to land. We had a great time hanging out as a family. We went sledding, shoveled the drive. Enjoyed Christmas as a family and shoveled the drive. We shoveled our roof and shoveled the drive. Did I mention we shoveled the drive. I've done it 2 times just this morning already. We have had a huge amount of snow this year.
Aaron got me a new washer and dryer for Christmas they are so nice. It takes no time to do wash and the kids love to watch it spin. I can dry a load faster then I can wash one now, before it would take 45 min to wash and 1 1/2 hours to dry if I was luck. I hated my dryer. I love my new ones!!New Years day we had my little sister and her family over. We played, phase 10 Sesame Street style, we played SkipBo and the WII that we had gotten the family for Christmas. We had a lot of fun UNTIL......Clayton ACCIDENTALLY clobbered Cody across the head while playing dodge ball. Cody must not of dodged when he was suppose to. Yes he has a black eye and it cut his little eye, and put a shiner on his forehead. Today 4 days later you can see a straight line from the controller where it smacked his little face with such force.

The moral of this story............make sure each player has lots of room to move about NO CROWDING.
