January Joys

The other night, our friends, Mike, Summer, and Paxton, called to see if we wanted to go sledding with them. Almost before Jopes was even done telling me why they were calling, he said, "She says yes." :)

We weren't at the park for very long because the two little boys weren't too fond of the dark, but we got a little sledding in, and it was fun!

After sledding, we went back to Mike and Summer's and had an awesome spaghetti dinner. It was fun to see Paxton and Joseph play together.

Lesson Learned...

We learned a lesson during our trip back home:

DON'T GO OUT OF TOWN

WITH A DEAD CAMERA BATTERY

AND FORGET THE CHARGER!

Yep. The first time we pulled our camera out to take some pictures on our trip, we found out the battery was very close to dead. So, we only have a few pictures. And I mean, VERY few. But here they are, plus a video from tonight. Enjoy!

Home From the Holidays

We got to go down to Mesa for Christmas for 2 whole weeks! We had a great time with both our families and now we're back home in Rexburg. I'm back in school now, taking 13 credits. My schedule is pretty nice. I don't have any classes on Tuesday/Thursday, so I still get to be home with my baby those days. Yay!! Jopes is off-track now, so he gets to take care of little Joseph while I'm at school. He is also searching for a job. Little Joseph's top teeth are FINALLY breaking through! They started coming in back at Thanksgiving time, so we are very glad that they are coming in now. He keeps getting better at walking, though we're not quite there yet. Heavenly Father has greatly blessed our little family and we are so grateful. We're very excited about the new year and what it holds for us.
