Picture post... That's pretty much it. Life is good, and that's just about all I have to say about that.  OH AND KEVIN passed his final exam.  And he's being modest, but he was awarded a customer support award, and I'm SO proud of him!  He puts his heart and soul into his job a lot of the time.  Joey's hit the climbing stage, and as a result is REALLY grumpy with me, cause suddenly I'm a "'no' mom."  Nice.  Where did my happy mama's boy go? I got a new toy, a close up filter.  I can't wait to use it at a wedding... The tulips are blooming... The bees are buzzing... I have an unhealthy love for dandelions.  By the way, this pic was taken at 1/1600th of…

Are you kidding me?!?!  I can't beleive this.  Hmmph.  After nearly two weeks without more of the fluffly wet white stuff, we've just had almost a foot dumped on us, and rumor has it there's more to come!  Ugh!  I do need to get the camera out and at least enjoy it a little.  After all it IS pretty...  Just annoying...

OK, once again I've let real life take over as my priority. Don't worry, I'm not likely to let it happen again. ;) Looks like I'm so far behind it's going to take at least two blogs to catch up, lets go with March and Early April... Additional photos can be seen at: Facebook Spring 2009 Part 1 Wow, looks like the last real update was when we got the van. That's probably why I've been so grounded in reality, you know, I can go places, and do stuff again... LOL! The same day I got the van was crazy hair day for Michael. He looked like Edward... LOL! Both big boys got haircuts I think that night. We took a Saturday and went to Hoggle Zoo with my cousins.…

Aiden FINALLY got potty trained!!! Hallelujah!!! We celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese up in Sandy since it was the one closest to Kevin's work, so he could make it for most of the celebration AND we could get home in time to go to bed, and invited all the local family. More photos again at: Facebook Spring 2009 Part 2 Aiden and Daddy got a lot of quality time together, and Aiden earned over 300 tickets! We've never been able to really get any cool prizes there, but Aiden walked out with a bag full! So fun! We enjoyed conference and got to see Grandpa and Grandma Rawlings who flew out from their new home in Denver. They used to live next to Temple Square, so this has…

So this past weekend I got a minivan!  Yippee!  I have freedom!  It's a 07' navy, 7 seater with bench seats (I don't think I'll tell the make and model here right now), it's still under warranty, so that's good. :)  It drives a lot like the Toyota Sienna we rented last fall, so I was thrilled when I got behind the wheel. We got a great deal on it, and it should be a great family vehicle for a good long time. No more begging other to go get Michael, and no more "I can't go anywhere cause I can't get there without mooching."  Also once we get our own place again (hopefully soon!) I will be much more mobile, and not reliant on Kevin, and not having to…

Kevin took the quiz about me. :)  LOVE HIM!  Did I meantion I adore my hubby?  Well I do.  He took my quiz and did it over on his blog!  Go check it out!

OK, so Joey's been walking a while, but there was really no definitive, 'he's not walking one day, he was the next,' time frame.  He started taking small steps around October, but was VERY unsure of himself and lost his balance easily, which always sent him flopping to the floor.  He still doens't walk very far, but is finally choosing it over crawling, cause he can hold onto something that he'd have to leave behind when crawling, LOL!  He's now just starting to run to his destination when he looses balance rather than dropping down and crawling.  It's SO cute!  I LOVE this boy!  Baby walking is one of the cutest things ever!  He'd prefer not to be guided, but to just find his way on his own, or be…
