Well....

Well what can I say about this week. There is not much that has happened, just a couple of things that I would like to mention. First at work we finished planting all of the tulips and the daffodils and pansies. It was about time too, and just in time. The weather is jet about to get cold and there is plenty of time for the plants to get settled in for a long winter's nap. With ma in her kerchief an I in my cap...wait I got side-tracked. So after all the planting is done it is now time to get the leaves all picked up and then it is on to the Christmas lights! The season is almost upon us. Now let's not get too excited there is still a lot of time left.

Now the next thing I want to mention is of a more sad note. Carolyn's sister has become ill. They have found a tumor that is blocking her nasal passage and is growing down her neck. She is going to have surgery on Friday so I would like to ask you all to pray for her.

As for the rest of us, we are all doing great. Caleb is getting into more trouble and doing it in a cute way so it is hard to get totally mad at him. He is becoming more social at church, sharing all of his things with the people who are sitting next to us. It is so cute to watch.
Carolyn and I are doing good at school and can't wait to get this semester over. We are also excited to celebrate this Halloween. We put are first decoration up last night. A table
center piece. We went to a party last night and we dressed up. I went as a :)/m, Carolyn was a 288236 and Caleb was :3//2/:8. It was a lot of fun and everyone liked our costumes. I will get some pictures up later on this week.

Well that is all for this week. Happy holiday and may your screams be loud and your hauntings safe.

Fall time is almost done!!

So I thought that I should post a few pictures of fall here in the great state of Utah and in one of the most beautiful parts of it.  So below you will find what great sight we saw.

I cant believe that Fall is almost out of here.  Most of the leaves have changed color and those that have not will soon be.  It is such a wonderful time of the year.  A break from the heat is always a joy.  These near perfect temperatures brings back a lot of memories of past hunts, halloween outings, leaf pile wars, raking up those leaves every day cause they just keep on falling out of the tree wishing that they would just all fall at the same time, and so much more.  It is amazing how things change, you think things are beautiful now but come time they get even better.  It is a mere resemblance of how our lives are and are going to be.

So for the past week we have been getting ready for winter.  I cant remember what I have said in the past blog but we have weeded up some beds, took out the a/c unit in Caleb's room and closed that window, found out that our furnace is not working and trying to figure that out.

For school I got my results back from my first of two mid-term tests.  I got an 87.5% on it.  I thought that I would do better than that but it is ok.  Carolyn and I are taking a test tomorrow.  She is doing ok in school but is thinking of changing her major to something like IT.

Caleb is still growing and loving life.  He loves to be outside like his daddy and loves computers and phones and cameras and anything electrical.

Ginger is loving a big ham bone right now.

So if anyone can guess where we went on our hike in the pictures that I have posted below will get a special treat.

Talk to you next time

I finally have time to write

  Wow what a process this move has been.  We have been so busy and so distracted that we lost contact with the world.  I mean literally!  We did not have internet for about three weeks now and then after we got that it didn't work properly for the next two.  It is finally running smoothly now thank goodness.  Next we did not have a home phone.  The only number that we had was my work phone.  So I had a hard time talking to Carolyn when I needed her cause I did not know where she was so could call her.  Then on top of all that I lost that phone in the Green Waste Facility out in American Fork in a pile of compost.  Luckily our home phone line got set up that day.  But it had a hard time working too since it is connected to our modem which had problems. 
  So after all of that everything seems to be fixed and we are relaxing more and more.  As a matter of fact we took a random vacation to Arizona to see Courtney and Carl/Karl get married.  It was sort of a spur-of-the- moment decision.  It was a long drive but I think it was worth it.  A chance to get away from the house and go do something else.  The temple was beautiful but smaller than what I thought it would be.  We almost did not get to go inside.  Apparently our recommends were out of date/ the old issue.  We both got them renewed in July.  I guess I grabbed the old one and threw the new one away.  OOPS! My bad.  But with a few phone calls we were able to go inside and witness the wedding.
  As for the house, everything is coming together.  We are just preparing for winter and all that jazz.  I have some pictures if you would like to see them.  They are below.
  School work is going ok for both Carolyn and I.  Luckily while the internet has been down I have been blessed to be able to work on it while at work and if the occasion calls, Mom and Dad let me use their computer.  Thanks a bunch.  One more thing why I am indebted to you.  Hopefully I can repay you someday.
  Caleb has recently been through a small case of bronchitis, cut his lip on the sidewalk, cut his lip on the kitchen floor the next day, has a few more teeth,  finds that getting into trouble is funny and enjoys it, beats up Ginger, Mommy and sometimes Daddy when he lets him, growing, changing and happy for the most part (not in the times of punishment, oh and he throws little tantrums when he doesn't get his way).  He is soo cute and cathces on to things very quickly.  He helps Mommy clean the house (then destoys it within two hours).  He is still kind of shy too around new people. 
  It has been awhile since I have written so I don't remember what I have already said.  The months are all mixing together.  I can't believe that fall is already here and it is time to plant your bulbs.  That is what we are doing at work.
  If you have any questions email me.

Love ya
