Hair-Dos and Heaters

So, the other day we woke up to a freezing house...it was then that we realized that our heater was not working. Adam called his dad (an HVAC man) but until he is able to come up we've had to use some alternative methods of keeping warm. Thanks to the snow our house got down to 52 degrees last night. This morning one by one we filed into the family room and snuggled in front of the fireplace.


The other day I was sitting by the fire studying for my test and I wasn't feeling very well, so I asked Adam to come sit by me and give me a massage and play with my hair. Little did I know that my "little helpers" would want to get in on the fun.

Yeah, I look beautiful in all these pictures :) But mind you, I wasn't feeling well, we've had a cold/flu in our hosue for the past 2 weeks. Reese enjoyed doing my hair and I had fun feeling like it was getting pulled out. But seriously, it has been a lot of fun spending these extra minutes with my husband and kids. We count ourselves very lucky to have it. We hope you all are enjoying the snow more than we are!

Oh the things that we've done...

So since I last posted, life has gone by way too fast... school has been a major time consumer. Lets just take a look at Adam's and my classes:

Adam: Semi-conductors, Power Circuits, World Wide Web and Internet, Real-time Embedded Controllers, and Technology Research

Lindsay: Capital Budgeting, Investments, Financial Problems I, International Business, and Financial Institutions

Can you see why we are so busy? I even bring my laptop to the park! Isn't that sad? But, now on to the exciting stuff... Reese turned 5! I cannot believe how fast she is growing up. She has blossomed into such a big girl the last month or so. Socially she is turning into a butterfly. Although I'm afraid of what the future may bring, let me explain, the other day Reese told me that her teach made her move to a different seat because she was being bad. I asked her if she just didn't want to be good in class and if she just wasn't paying attention to the teacher. She said, "No I want to be good and listen, it's just so much fun to talk to all the girls who sit by me." Anyway, for her birthday she wanted a yellow teddy bear cake, just like the picture that came with the cake pan. I think it turned out pretty well, except the right eye, but you live and learn and move on.

We also went to the circus which was really fun. The kids enjoyed seeing the animals and I think that my favorite part was the motorcycles. There were 7 in that cage thingy! It was friggin' sweet. Well, I guess I better try and keep up with my blog so that I don't have to write so much at once! Love you all!

We are bloggers!

Ok, so we've been talking about having a blog for awhile. Infact, I've had this blog since June, I just haven't done anything with it :) So, basically, all I have to write about it that I started a blog! Oh, and we went to the Utah State Fair this weekend. It was so fun to see all the animals. Reese's favorite were the sheep, Noah liked the pigs, I liked the bunnies, and Adam liked the 800 lb pig. It was friggin' huge. They also had this cute farming thing for the kids where they fed the cow, planted seeds, etc. That explains Noah in the apron. Well, now I'm going to see if I can post pictures. Wish me luck!
