Not much happening...





Not much has been happening with us lately, but we are doing well. The boys were both sick with the flu this week, but I think that they are over it now, thank goodness. Shane and I have stayed pretty healthy so far this winter.
The boys are getting to the point where I think that they actually like each other. Broden watches Clay all of the time and I can tell that he wants to play with whatever Clay is playing with. A few times a day I find Clay giving Broden toys or right up in his face talking to him. It is pretty cute. Clay is talking so much better lately. Broden was playing with my phone the other day. Clay promptly took it away from him and told him, "No , Goadie Mom's phone." Goadie is what Clay calls Broden. We don't know where it came from except that he can't quite say Broden. It actually kind of fits him.
We did have some friends visit this month. My friend Katy came up and took me to see Twilight. We had planned to see it when it came out but couldn't quite get together. I love when she comes to visit we have so much fun. Also my friend Alyssa came to visit. She brought her 3 girls. Clay had so much fun playing with them. It is kind of hard to do something with 5 kids but we did manage to get a trip in to the D.I., one of our favorite things from our college days.
Shane is heading to Colorado for a few days at the end of this week for a conference, so I decided the boys and I are going to go and visit my parents. I am excited to be able to do "girl" stuff with my mom. Of course Clay and Broden will love being entertained by someone else other than mom.

Christmas and New Year's

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a happy New year. Ours was wonderful. Christmas was pretty quiet. We decided to stay home and do it by ourselves this year. Clay loved opening presents this year. It seemed that he liked Broden's presnts more than his. Broden really liked the wrapping paper which is pretty much all you can expect right? Christmas night we went to Shane's aunt and uncles for the Jeppson Christmas party. We actually had it twice this year since many people couldn't make it because of the weather. So the Sunday after Christmas we met again in Brigham. We opened presents with Shane's family and then later had dinner and gift exchange with the Jeppsons. New years eve we headed to Star Valley. Lots of fun but we barely made it to midnight. The boys had a lot of fun with all of the aunts and uncles. Clay loved riding the snowmobile with Uncle Eric and playing in the snow with Uncle Jaden. We had a pretty good storm on the 2nd and didn't know if we were going to be able to head home on the 3rd but by the time I had everything packed up and ready it had quit snowing and the drive home wasn't to bad. I am glad to be back on a schedule again, maybe the boys will start sleeping better....
