I have posted several entries just to let everyone know, there is more to read.

Here is some random pictures that I got. Alyssa playing with bubbles on one of the nice's day we had. Owen being a happy boy!

Alyssa has had this thing for wanting to color all the time, well she got marker on her hand's and she picks her nose, which I tell her not to do cause it's gross cause she eats it. Ya to much info! So I got her!

I took Owen today to the doctor to get the last of his 6 month shots, because he has been sick he finally got one out of three last week and the last two today. He weighs a grand total of 21 lbs 14 oz. Plus today was a check up to make sure the medication worked pretty good, But he is still taking it cause there is still a little bit of an ear infection in one ear. Than earlier in the week Alyssa woke up during the night screaming and tugging on her ear. So while we were at the doctor's he checked her ear's and she has an ear infection in each ear, which her's is pretty bad. So she is on the medication to. So now I have two sick kids. I guess Owen wanted to share with his sister, what a loving brother to share.

So I promised some more pictures. Well my uncle came all the way from Utah to help us with the house. He had this hat with him and Alyssa really liked it. So here is the kids modeling the hat off. Owen playing while we were trying to get some work done. So Alyssa likes to call my grandma, great mama, She came over to see the work that we had done so far and she was holding Owen and he just loves great mama. While my uncle was here we had the opprtunity to take my uncle crabbing to take a break from working. Alyssa,Cory, Shar, Owen So a crab got lose and Andy picked him up out of the boat and the crab had a hold of a trail mix granola bar and had a good grab on it. Some Crabs Alyssa & Andy hanging out in the boat Cory and Owen (Owen's first time in the boat)

Ok so I will post more pictures later today after I get back from the doctor and get some things taken care of. I am going to post pictures of the house to. Not the outside though cause we really haven't done anything out there yet.

I promised pictures a long time ago. So here are some pictures. I will get pictures of the inside of the house by the end of this week posted. But here are some from way back in December time. So this was when there was the winter storm going on and the power outage. This is what happened to Cory's parents shed. There were a few holes in the roof. I think there was two tree branches. So Christmas Eve Alyssa fell down a couple of the stairs. She bit her lip pretty good. She had a huge lip. Than for Christmas Shar made all the girls some really cute nightgowns. Alyssa opening present's Owen with his first sippy cup, which he gets really excited about. While we were at my grandma's Christmas day Cory and Owen fell asleep.

It was HORRIBLE! Owen kept us up alot last night. Now this morning we go back to the doctor and see if the shots worked. I sure hope they worked because the past few nights have been pretty bad.

We are still hanging around. I have been trying to get everything organized and clean. Which is been hard the past couple of days. Owen has been sick for a while and yesterday he had two antibiotic shots and we went back again today so he could get a second dose of one of the shots. He has been a very cuddly boy. Yesterday when they weighed him he was 21 lbs and 12 oz. He was suppose to get his regular shots to stay up to date, but him being sick he didn't get them so I am not sure how long he is right now or what percentile he his in. So hopefully soon! We are hoping to get family pictures taken really soon! Cory and I are back into our old ward. I actually grew up in this ward some. We have callings. Cory is a ward missionary, we actually thought that was pretty funny because when we were first married in this ward we were both called as ward missionaries. I am in primary , I also got another calling a week ago, enrichment committee. I was pretty surprised to get another calling...

You haven't heard from me in a while and you all are probably wondering how we are doing. Well we are doing pretty good. We are getting moved in. I promise to update with a great BIG entry or multiple entries. With some pictures of the house.

Since tomorrow is the Inauguration of our 44th president of the United States of America, today's manic monday is a dedications to past, present and future presidents. To learn more about the Presidents of the United States go here... First Folder: 20 (in honor of the 20th of January...)

If the link to your blog is not on my list please let me know so that I can add it. There was an error. I didn't want to miss anyone.

Just to let everyone know I will have a bunch of pictures to post when we are all moved and a bunch of things to write about. On another note when I took Owen to the doctor I forgot to mention how much he weighed: 20 lbs.

Owen gave me a hard night last night. I thought he had an ear infection. So I waited on the phone this morning for basically an hour trying to make an appointment for him. I took him to his appointment which was suppose to be at 11:30 it ended up being at 11:40, I spent a total of 3 hours at the doctor's office with two kids today. Than the doctor looked at his ear's. Than the doctor checked his breathing, which he has been sounding congested and sounding wheezy. Owen had a breathing treatment and a chest x-ray after the doctor looked him over. Diagnosis: ear infection in each ear, and bronchitis. After the doctor looked at the x-ray, Owen had two shots to hopefully help with the ear infection and bronchitis. I have to take him back in tomorrow so the doctor can check on him to see if the shots are helping.

Someone has pointed out, Rana, that I always start my entries out with so. I went back through my blog and I guess I do start out my entries with so. I thought that was pretty interesting.

I thought I would work on a little bit of an update for now and tell you why there has been no update for a while. Well, we are home owner's. And that is why there hasn't been any update in a long time. I plan on doing a more lengthy update when we are done with things to the house and moved. I am one that has been usually been good about writing about stuff and I haven't done that in a while. So I will post pictures and information about what has been going on, just thought I would let everyone know why there hasn't been information about the house and what we have been up to.
