Just Asking for Another Broken Back

Even after John's broken back incident sledding a few years ago, we still enjoy going sledding (Don't ask him about how sore his back is though). We found another great sledding hill in Bountiful.

It was a very long hill...

Which made for a very tiring walk up.
Natalie insisted on sledding down by herself, so John hiked her
down about halfway so she could go on her own.

Can't beat the view.

Word on the Street...

If you've heard the word on the street...I am here to officially declare the word true. John will be finishing up with Orbit Medical on Friday, February 12th and starting a new job programming software for the Air Force's solar telescope network projects at Hill Air Force Base on Monday, February 15th. Might I say his commute will be *ideal*...a mere 15 minutes from our house. Need I say more?

Wait, I did think of something. All those government paid holidays I didn't even know existed. Nice :)

What? Bangs aren't in style anymore? Perfect...

Thanks to some magic scissors Natalie came across,
she no longer has any bangs.
Stylin', huh?

New Year's Fun

This year for New Year's Eve we went to a party that included an invigorating game of dodge ball. Nothing like playing a game that kills two birds with one stone...1) Fun and 2) Sheds those party treat pounds.

A few other tidbits:

John was flying his bird the other day, and while John was turned getting some food for Orion, he flew on top of his head. In the process, he left his signature on John's head. Nothing like cleaning bird crap out of your hair.


Also, I have cause to celebrate today because the two oldest girls have gone back to school. I have my sanity back (mostly)! The two youngest were being so cute other than cleaning up a few incidents from Natalie (cookie dough munched into the carpet, pieces of Alicia's pictures she had sitting out cut up into pieces, and a broken cd player).

Natalie was so excited to have Megan's fingers wrapped around
her finger. Megan actually looks pleased herself :)

Here Megan is playing with her lady bug friend. She was fascinated!
