Another month already?

It's been another month since my last blog post. Wow! I'm so awesome at this. Hmmm....what have we done this month? Last month was Collin's 8th birthday. It feels really weird to have an 8 year old. I think I wrote about his birthday in my last post.

The kids and I spent a week in Arizona for my younger sister's wedding. It was great to see everyone who was able to make it down. Arizona was hit with three major snow storms while we were out, so most of our family was snowed in. It was neat to look at the mountain after the snow storm. The snow line was right above the mesas at the base of Mt. Graham. Talk about breathtaking! I really wish I would have taken a picture! Erin was a beautiful bride, and I am so excited to watch her go through married life. Her husband is a really nice guy, and he is absolutely crazy about her.



Yesterday we celebrated Caitlyn's birthday. She is 5! It just amazes me how fast the time has gone. She is definitely a princess, a little hard headed and ornery, but sweet at the same time. We went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate with Grandpa Bryant, Aunt Erin, Uncle Craig, and Uncle Bart. I think Uncle Bart wants to get a cd (sorry, itune... cds are so 1990s!) with all the Chuck E Cheese music on it- he loved hearing Chuck E Cheese sing, especially after we had been there for two hours and the songs were on about their 7th rotation! Good thing he's a good sport because we stayed about another hour-and-a-half.

We also adopted two guinea pigs. One is a small black and white one, and the other is brown and white. They are adorable. The kids love them, especially Cameron. When I brought them home, the kids yelled, "Yeah! Our first pets that live in air!" Poor kids have only had fish their whole lives.

John is still liking his new job. He's been training for about 5 months now, and conducting examinations since the beginning of December. He says the best thing about the job is learning tax law and how to apply it to so many different situations. The worst thing is the constant paperwork.

Now I just need to find a job. I think I am going to work part time at the hospital, probably nights in admitting, then go to work with the school district when Caleigh goes to school. I'm about 90% sure she is our last child, so I want to stay home and cherish her babyhood, since I didn't do that with the other kids.

I guess that's our month in a nutshell!
