Once every other month posting...

Thanksgiving- It was good, a quiet Thanksgiving spent at Mom and Dads with Korynn and Bryan and Bo and Andrea. 3 pregnant women under the same roof and everyone lived. It was a super beautiful day, and Sharel and I sat in Mom and Dads back yard in their comfy Cabelas chairs and watched the kids play. I even fell asleep.

Things are going fairly well with us. We are almost done painting the living room, and have ordered carpet for the living and family rooms. Hopefully it will be put in before Christmas. After that we have laminate flooring we will put in the kitchen and dining room. We are quickly outgrowing this house and need to sell it and move into something bigger, hopefully we can do that in the next year, year and a half.

Eryn is doing awesome at school. Her teacher, Sister Mendoza from the 3rd ward, recently asked the kids how to cook a turkey and wrote down their responses. Eryn's "I love to cook with my Grandma so I add some salt and sugar and cook it in a rice cooker for 5 minutes."

Rachel, oh Rachel, where do I begin? She is definitely into learning. She has Eryn and Sharel show her how to write letters, and she is even trying to read. She loves punching me in the gut when I get home. She is also the sweetest little girl out there.

Grant is Grant, most assuredly a boy. He likes to rock out in his Batman pajamas or his Fireman pajamas. He picks up random things and turns them into guns, (I really had nothing to do with this, I think he learned it from Eryn playing cowboys and bad guys). He is throwing less tantrums, and his vocabulary is shooting up. Above all he tries to make is laugh when he knows he is in trouble. When that fails, and sometimes it doesn't, he still throws a tantrum. But we still love him.

Sharel is doing just fine with the pregnancy. Obviously things are a little more difficult for her as this has been her hardest pregnancy so far. We are getting excited and have not really settled on a name as of yet, or haven't even really thought of one to be honest. But we are getting excited, until we realize that we have not had a good nights sleep in almost six years and nothing is going to change for another couple of years, or decades.

I hope we are all caught up now, and I will try to get Sharel to post more often.
