Catch Up

Okay well a lot has happened since December. Myron turned big Three on January 18 then February Craig got an interview in Arizona for Dental school. Drove two days with the kids to get there. Stayed with my brother at Kerri ( his fiance) parents house. They were so amazing. That whole family. I got to know the oldest daughter Sandy and she is so sweet and made me feel so at home. So if we do get accepted there at least I know where to find excellent company. At the Payne's house. haha! My boys as young as they are still talk about " Uncle Ky Ky's house" " Yes we want to go there"! On the day of the interview my niece was born " Sweet Caroline". I must admit I was pretty sad not to be there. I could not wait to get home to see her. She is beautiful. Craig feels pretty confident about Arizona and I feel pretty scared and excited. We will not know until May 1st. Then March Ethan turned Two and yes terrible is a great way to describe it. haha. No he is pretty amazing I love my boys. They make me laugh until my stomach hurts. Today is Easter and we got to go to good ole Gonzales Ward. Caroline was blessed. I took pictures but I havent loaded them yet so when I do I will post them. As for me I have been just being a mom. Busy Busy Busy. Well I hope all had a great Easter Sunday.

New Year

Yes we are offically moved. We are with my parents until May. We are still awaiting to hear from dental schools, but Arizona already has a interview set for Craig. So it might be Arizona for the next Four years. OUr address is 18051 Conthia Street Prairieville, LA 70769. Our numbers are still the same. When we get our computer set up I will post pictures from Christmas. It was a great Christmas. Craig graduated on December 19, 2008 from LSU. I was so proud when he walked on the stage and recieved that diploma. Well things are good for now. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

Let It SNOW Let It Snow

So my mom texted me at 6:00 am and said " it is snowing". Sure enough it is snowing, and the best part, it is actually sticking to the ground. The kids loved making thier first snowman, it has also been years since I remember snow like this. It is a cold 33 degrees outside. What a great Christmas present two weeks before Christmas. The best part is that by the weekend it will be in the 70's. I dont think I could live where it snows like this constantly.

Happy Thanksgiving

Well I cant believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone. I have so much to be grateful for. I have two wonderful sons, an amazing husband, and a great family and friends. Craig graduates December 19 at 4:30. He has the highest GPA of his graduating class and let me not forget that he also has been on the Dean's List since we have been married. We are moving in with my parents in January ( so we can save money) and we will wait to see where Dental school will take us. Craig has applied to California( do not want to go there), Arizona( two schools) , Flordia , Alabama, Kentucky and New Orleans. I have a feeling we are going to Arizona but we will see. I am just so proud of my husband. I dont know how he does what he does. He is so humble. He has so much resposbility on his shoulders, but he seems never to stress. He has so much faith and trust in his Heavenly Father. I have faith but it sometimes it waivers. Craig is not only a husband, he is a father of two, full-time student, and has two jobs. We might not have tons of money, but we are never without. Words cannot express how pround I am of him. He has blessed my life beyond belief. He is truly my knight in shinning armor. He never complains, always positive and he loves not only our family, but he LOVES his family and ecspecially his mother. To me that is very important. I am just stressed from thinking about moving right after Christmas, seeing how we have to be out by December 31 and also I am going to miss Baton Rouge 2nd ward. The friendships I have, but I know that the just wont end, that I will talk to them just the same as I do know. I am so excited for this Christmas season, I have been listening to Christmas music since the first of November. I love this time of year. I love giving gifts. I love the First Presidency Devotional. It is on my cousins birthday this year, he would have been 22 years old. I think of him and my other cousin alot at this time of year. How time flies. I remember that dreadful call I recieved 5 years ago. Nathan's favorite song of all time was O Holy Night, he would sing it alot. Everytime I hear that beautiful song I think of my cousins and yes I cry. I cant make it throught that song. Not only do I think of my cousin ,but I think of my Elder Brother, my Savior. My favorite verse is the third "Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!" He truly broke the chain of death and with that we are able to live with Him and our Father in Heaven again. Also with all those family members who have gone on before. So yes I have alot to be grateful for. Thanks to all those who listen to me, who counsel with me and love me for who I am faults and all( haha) . I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and I hope you all have a Wonderful Holiday Season.

Happy Halloween

Myron the Cowboy

I made Myron's costume with the help of my mother in law. IT turned out sooo dang cute. Last Thursday morning around 2:45 Craig wakes up throwing up, so I take the kids and say see ya. He had a 12 hr virus that made him soo weak. We got home Friday morning and I Lysoled (sp?)everything. I cleaned washed and mopped every cornor of the apartment. Well Frdiay we went trick or treating. Half way during it Myron starts complaining that is tummy hurts , I was like oh no please say it isnt so. I hope h didnt get what Craig got. So we go home and I said Myron lets say a pray and he says " Yeah I will talk to Jesus and points to the picture of Jesus and he says he make me feel better" So he says his own little prayer. Then after he says amen he comes to me and says see momma Jesus made my stommy feel better. He had one bad diaper and that was it. The faith a two year old has. I thought that was a cute story. Well hope everyone had a good Halloween.
