December Bember-banana –Wanna boe ember December

So after the dust settled from the car accident Rusty and I tried to treat life as business as usual. Rusty was working at the ORE-IDA factory preparing for a big shut down. When the work is good the work is good. I was riding the bus every day from work back to Caldwell where Rusty would drop me off and pick me up. I didn’t mind too much because I didn’t have to be doing the driving I just didn’t have a ton of flexibility when it came to travel options and one morning I had to stand out in the snow with no cover for about twenty minutes.

I turned 28 years old this year on December 5th. I had indicated to Rusty and our friends that I preferred a quiet night of Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and Singstar. So Jen picked me up from the bus in Meridian and we gathered at the Petersons. We ended up only doing the Singstar because we lost the cord for the XBOX in Rusty’s truck but I had a pretty good time as I think everyone else did too. Shaylor, Jackie and Rowdy, Jen, Stacie and Chris, Faith, and Rusty were all there.

Oh Christmas Tree,
So I decided to finally get my Christmas Décor out after my birthday this was the first time since not living in Blackfoot that I actually followed the Lowe rules. I was just to business with work and no car to have time to get everything out. I was pretty happy with the results.









Christmas Ornaments and Etching Gifts
This year I again offered up my etching skills to my co-workers want to give ornaments for Christmas. I also had a special order for four mugs with billiards clipart on them. I was pretty proud of the success they were.



Kayden Turns Two
For Kayden’s 2nd birthday Rusty and I went over to the Steihl’s Clubhouse located in their apartment complex. It was pretty fun to watch Kayden eating the cake and opening the presents. I think he had started to figure out how that whole present thing works. It was very fascinating.
For Christmas day we stayed in Boise this was due to Rusty working 7 12 hour shifts the week of Christmas and after we made our Christmas a quiet one at home. We went over to the Peterson’s house for Christmas dinner which was yummy. I brought rolls and a few pies. It was nice to just relax and be with friends. I was bummed we didn’t get to see my parents but there is always time this summer. The day after Christmas I flew to Reno and picked up the car and then I went back to work during the Christmas break. I did get a week off where I got a lot of around the house things done.

Reviving the Blog

Image
So it is time to revive this blog. I have not used it in several, and I mean several years. Solely do to life and the fact that I didn't think I had the time. Well no more. I think I need to have a venue to share with you all our current pictures and life. I don't really like to do it on Facebook all that much. So with that... it's alive! No better time then now right? It is the week of July 23rd, Rusty and I and our three energetic kids are having a great time with the Colburn clans in Newport Beach, CA. We arrived here, by plane yesterday and have already basked in the glow of the beach and the condos we are staying in. While the flight was quite early the kids did great, one might think they had fun. With good food and fellowship you can't really go wrong. We took the opportunity to celebrate Linda and Russ's 50th, yeah I said it, 50th Anniversary which will be in December. We dined at a fabulous restaurant Sellebello, thank you Heather for finding the l...

January

Image
I know that January is not over yet but I thought that I would get out some fun pictures we have of Russell. So he has been going to the Children's Center at Boise State University since August. I personally think he is thriving there as he is learning how to play with others and what it means to share. He always seems to be having a pretty good time when I go and pick him up. But, he is always happy to see me to which makes it even better. There are some pictures in this batch of him experimenting with food based paint (I think the chocolate was his favorite) and going to the library with his class. I also found some rather hilarious moments in the car with an Fred Meyer ad and when we took him to Sockey for lunch. We got him a meal from their kids menu which he tried to devour in minutes (Kid loves cheese, carbs, and meat) so the chicken quesadilla was a hit. He tried an onion and made a pretty funny face. He is such a ham. It's getting harder to take his picture because he ...

Catching Up

Image
For the first time in months I have a little time to catch up on my blog. I am proud to say that I at least had all of the pictures loaded I just need to get them in Russell's photo book. August , September , October , November , and December was very busy. At work I had new job duties and a new Unit to be a part of while Rusty attended school full time for the first time in a really long time. He did a great job. He diligently went to all of his classes and studied. He even successfully passed part two of Elmentary Spanish after being out of 101 for over 10 years. Russell has grown and grown. He gets a little belly and not a week later its gone and he has grown again. He turned 1 year old in December and Rusty and I couldn't believe how much he had changed. We went to Blackfoot for Christmas and got to spend some time with my mom and dad, and Faith. I wished we would have had some snow for Russell to play with at the time but, we just got it late this year.
