This is what happens when you only blog once a month!

Wow! I am a blog slacker. things have been sooo crazy around our house this last month. Will I ever get used to having to take care of 2 kids and a house? I'm beginning to wonder. Lets see, a little update on us: Trevor has been really busy with work and army. He is in Officer Candidate School and has to go to Boise quite a bit. We will be glad once he commissions. I have been staying busy with sick kids and housework. Sounds so exciting doesn't it? Some of our neighborhood moms got together and do a preschool with our kids at different houses each week. I got to do this week and it is really fun coming up with ways to entertain 8 three and four year olds for 3 hrs. I actually really like doing it. I have also been getting to spend more time with my sister Tessa since she moved here. It has been really nice because we are so far apart in age, we haven't been that close, and since she moved here, we have gotten so much closer. I really love it and love her to death. And, the day before Halloween, I decided to cut my hair. I cut 18 inches off the back and donated it to locks of love. It has been so weird since I have had long hair for a very long time. But, I just needed a change. Keyton is enjoying going to preschool and learning how to write his alphabet. He is always so eager to learn something new. He can tell you what "metamorphosis" is and loves to show off to everyone explaining it to them. He just finished up playing soccer and what an adventure that was. He just kinda tagged along in the back of the group and didn't seem all that impressed with the sport. I have to tell one funny story about him though. The other day, we went to watch my nephew Colby wrestle in his first match. Keyton was very excited to get to watch "the fight". As Colby was wrestling, Keyton was cheering him on. As soon as Keyton realized that Colby was about to lose, he yelled as loud as he could, "Punch him Colby!" Everyone around us cracked up laughing. He was just trying to help his cousin out. :) And finally baby Seth, he is growing like a weed. I think he is a giant baby. He dwarfs about every other kid his age. He is figuring out how to army crawl and doesn't hold still for 2 seconds. He loves his jumper and he really loves his mommy. I don't mean to brag, but when I'm around he can't take his eyes off me. What can I say? I have that effect on people. Haha. Sorry this is so long, but it's more for me than you guys. I need to write all this stuff down. Our Halloween was pretty fun. We went to Old Town trick or treating and then to a trunk or treat with my friend Misty, then we came home and watched a movie and passed out candy to our trick or treaters. Trevor was in Boise so I got to do it all on my own. It was alot of work! Keyton was Captain Jack Sparrow and Seth was a skunk (thanks to Andrea) and he also had some cute skeleton pjs he wore once he couldn't take the skunk costume anymore. So I think that's all I have. Adios and thanks for reading

Sounds like you have been very busy! We will give you a call in the next few weeks. We have the swine flu at our house right now, so give us a few weeks and we will get together. Maybe after Thanksgiving or something! Glad you are doing well, hope life slows down a bit for you. The boys are both very cute and growing up so fast!
