David and the cat
Abby decided 60 degree weather was swimsuit weather and time to turn on the hose. No thanks. too cold for me!
The cat likes David's cheerios, and he also thought this was a good place to hide from Rachel!
The kids all love the new cat. Whose name is Obsidian Soot, or O.B. for short. I call him kitty.
Rachel loves the snow.
Winslow on his birthday
Okay, yes, My Christmas lights are still on my house. Not my deal. I DON"T DO HEIGHTS. But check out the real iscicles on our roof!
David is such a happy guy!

This is a letter I wrote to my youngest brother and is sums up much of what has been going on.
Elder,
Okay so I have been a total slacker. In recent news, David got pnemonia and a double ear infection in february. He got another ear infection this last week and his oxygen levels dipped so he was back on breathing treatments. No fun. David is now 19 and 1/2 lbs. HOLY COW he's a chunker. But he's a pretty happy baby. He is just starting to get up on his hands and knees. He likes to sit and play, and I am grateful he isn't running everywhere yet. Jacob is playing basketball and doing rather well. He usually scores 2 baskets a game. He is crazy on defense. He's a tough player. Winslow got to substitute coach for Jacob's team this last time and it was fun to watch father and son. Jacob was more proud of having his dad coach, than making his shots. He is reading like crazy and we are so glad to have kids who love to read. Abby is one of the smartest in her class. She is reading so well and can sound words so well. We are very impressed. She recently lost 2 teeth for which the tooth fairy gave her $2. Wow big spender huh! Well the tooth fairy took a while to give her the money seeing as how the tooth fairy hasn't been getting a lot of sleep lately. She even wrote the tooth fairy a note to remind her. But then in the morning the tooth had disappeared and there was no money. So Abby wrote a new note. "dear tooth fairy, how come you took my tooth but did not leave me any money. xoxoxo Muh, Abby." So the tooth fairy had to make up for it. Abby is quite the artist and loves to make pictures for her teachers. She loves crafts and would cut and create all day long if it didn't make mom so bonkers. Rachel is a hoot, but boy can she be a pickle sometimes. She is sounding out words and identifying all the letter sounds within them. CRAZY! she just turned 3! She is quite smart and we are so amazed all the time. She is learning to write her name, and loves it. She loves to eat corndogs and have chocolate milk. (eww!) but she thinks it's great. She wants us to read all the books in the house. And she terrorizes the cat constantly. Oh yeah, we got a cat. He is actually quite a good cat. He makes me laugh all the time. He leaves David alone, and puts up with Rachel dragging him all over the house. His purr sounds like a John Dere Tractor. It's so loud. He attacks random cheerios on the kitchen floor, and can totally destroy rolls of toilet paper. I am busy busy with work. I love what I do. I love teaching kids and spending time with them. We have a good time and I really love the girls I work with. What a blessing. (mind you I still miss being at home full time.) I splurged this week and had my hair done. I wasn't so hot on my last hair cut and neither was Winslow, (it's not a style he likes, he has a name for it but I won't share it.) Anyway I got pampered with a great hair cut and the girl who did it introduced me to some awesome stuff that makes my hair look amazing. Hurray for good hair products. Winslow has been busy pumping iron and running everywhere. He is so buff. LOVE IT. He is running 5 miles at a time and doing fabo! He plans to run a half marathon in may, where I will be running a marathon relay (meaning 5 miles total, i',m still working up to the 1/2 marathon thing). So life is good. We are busy and loving it. We love you and are so proud of you. Keep working hard!
love

60 degrees is far to cold to be hanging out ina swimsuit outside! WHat a crazy girl! And seriously who cares if your Christmas lights are still up....it's less work you will have at the end of the year if you just leave them up until Christmas comes again. :) How's work?
Is that Jared your writing to? No WAY! Time flies...
