FINALLY!!!

OK so its been about 9 or 10 months since I last blogged. But don't worry its not because we haven't been doing anything to blog about, it's because we have been doing way too much. So I thought I would just give you a few highlights. So where to begin.
1- Jojo turned four and was King for a day. (Zac thought he needed a crown).

2- I got into making super rich chocolate cakes for awhile. (I think I made about 6. :}).

3- Zac turned 7 and had a great wonderful day.

4- Shane and I completed another semester of school. But turned around and started summer classes the very next week. (We were nuts.)
5- Sam turned 9 count it nine years old. (It just doesn't seem right. Yesterday he was just a baby.)

6- Shane and I celebrated our tenth anniversary. Yay! (Have we really been married that long.)
7- For the last day of school for the boys we had all the neighborhood kids over for breakfast lots of fun.

8- Shane was on the Dean's List for both Fall and Spring Semesters! (I always knew he was super smart!)
9- I finished my summer terms and decided to refinish my couches. Whew!


10- Sam recieved his Wolf in Cub scouts, very proud of him.
11- Shane finally talked me into going backpacking. He's been trying for years! It was fun and what a workout. The boys liked it but need a little toughening up. Next year we might even go for two nights!


12- Cousins week at Grandma Gillett's was a lot of fun and it was my turn to stay and help out. All I can say is I was exhausted when it was over.

13- Zac has discovered a wonderful talent. He excels at wrestling. He takes on his older brother and Wins, much to Sam's dismay. Zac has a great natural ability to know which way to tun and move to pin his opponent.
14- Our Calhoun Family reunion was so much fun! I can't believe that it had been almost 5years since I had seen some of my brothers and sisters. We had a great time floating the river and playing games. Can't wait to do it again.


15- Gillett family reunion, Shane and the boys had a great time, I wasn't able to go because of a class I had that started early. But they all had a great time.
16- School started again and we have been in high gear ever since. But have taken time out occaionally to go to a few football games. (Go Broncos!) And Shane took time out at thanksgiving break to go hunting.



17- In the four years that we have lived here in Boise we have had snow, but it usually was only a little or came during christmas break. However on December 1st we had the best snowstorm ever. It snowed overnight and ended up dumping about 6 inches of snow by noon. I know this doesn't seem like alot, to most of you but here in Boise it is. So Guess What Happened? We all got a SNOW DAY!!! I haven't had one of those since I was a kid in Rexburg. Loved it. We all went sledding, made an igloo, and a snowman. It was the best Snow Day ever.



18- Jojo lost his first tooth, what he's only four? Okay he's almost five, but still?!!

19- And Finally, at the end of next week, after three and a half years, I will finally Graduate. Mixed emotions. Can't wait to be done with school. Anyone need an Accountant?
20- Theres more, much more. But for today, this is us.
