I am trying to dutifully write something on this every few weeks. We don't have a new baby, but I sure have been enjoying reading about them, and my heart goes out to those new moms who life is hard for right now. My advice is, it does get better. Really before you know it they aren't little babies anymore and you wonder how time could have gone so fast! People always told me that too, and I never really believed them, but I'm here to tell ya it's true!!

We do have a naughty two year old, but he's the baby so he gets away with lots of stuff!! He's going to die if we have another one!

I am gearing up today to go see Air Supply. I have loved Air Supply since I was a child. Their music was some of the first that I learned the words too. I'm excited to get to spend the day with my wonderful husband, and hear some good music too! Let's hope the roads stay good for us.

Last night we had 70 mph wind. We got worried our house might have blown away. We ended up with peoples welcome mats in our yard, and thankfully no major damage like tree blowing over! Needless to say we are grateful for calmer winds today!!!

We love everyone and hope everyone is doing well!

I have been one of the worst bloggers I know, but all I can say is I was coerced into doing this(right Liz?) =)! And I am being coerced once againd to update it(Mom Slade)! I've had really good intentions, I just never feel like nothing new is happening, but now I have lots to talk about!




We had a wonderful Christmas, just being home and being together. The kids must have been good this year as Santa was very kind to them! We had our traditional prime rib Christmas Eve dinner, and it was delicious. We look forward to it all year round and it's always worth the wait. Our Christmas day was pretty low key, but that's what was so great about it.




For New Years we made a quick trip to Montana to see my dad. We got to see lots of family and it was fun to be home for a few days. We are still recouping today from doing that, lots of traveling and then lots of clean up and laundry when I get home.




I was recently called into the Primary Presidency so that probably means a few changes here at home for Mom and consequentially the rest of the family. I'm excited to serve, and excited that I still get to be involved in Cub Scouts, as that was my calling before and I loved it!




Caleb is playing basketball and his first game was yesterday. It's pretty funny watching those third grade boys playing. We enjoyed watching Caleb too!!!




The girls are growing by leaps and bounds. Morgan just seems to ge taller and taller. Aubrey got her hair cut and it is super cute. When I was taking her in to get it done, Morgan decided she wanted to get her hair cut too!! And this after finally getting her bangs to the point where they didn't hang in her eyes. Her hair is actually very pretty and I said No. There has just been too much work put into it dangit!!!
