Is it Spring yet?

So, I haven't posted since January! I am so behind! It has been busy, but I'm definitely not as stressed as was back when I wrote that last post. We are about, 95% full for the upcoming Spring semester, which starts in mid-April, so I'll hopefully have a good month to do what I did last semester in about 1 week. That was not a fun week!

I had a little trip to Wisconsin about two weeks ago. Sadly, it was for my grandpa's funeral, but it was a nice opportunity to get a little break and see my family. It was also a kid-free trip - so it was actually relaxing! Also, I don't want to jinx it, but I think we might've sold our house while I was there! We got a really low offer but then we countered back, they countered back again, we countered back again and finally we settled on a price. So now it's in that waiting phase. We hopefully close on March 18th if everything goes as planned. It'll be really nice to start paying ourselves that money every month!

We also took a little trip to Montana last month to visit my brother's family. They live in the woods in a log cabin - it was kind of scary at night. But they love it out there. Gabe's favorite part was shooting this potato gun that Aaron made.

Josh has been took the boys up to Ashton to see his dad's horses one day recently. Then Caleb got kicked in the head by one! That is a true story. I swear. Yeah, I was pretty upset. Josh tried to tell me the bruise was from running into something but when I asked Caleb what happened he said, "A horse kicked me. It not feel good." I looked at Josh like, "WHAT!?!" I still don't know what exacty happened that day but I'm not sure I'll let him go up there again.

Oh, and they also went to this dog sled race thing while I was in Wisconsin. They let Gabe take a turn driving one of the sleds.

Gabe is liking preschool. He got to bring home this stuffed puppy for the weekend and we're supposed to write in a journal about what we did. However, is it OCD of me that all I keep thinking about is, "How many other little kids' germs are all over this thing? Is this sanitary?" I just had a campus meeting about bed bugs.... I think it's got me a little freaked out. I could go into details but you'll be scratching nervously for the next week if I do...

What else... Josh is loving his new police job. It is in Rexburg (where we live) so he only drives 5 minutes (in a police car he brings home) to get to work. He is working 4 tens then has 3 days off. He likes this much better than the 6 on, 3 off with Winnebago county.

That is all I can think of for right now! Hope you're all doing well!

I wanted to go to the dog sled races. My grandparents went and said it was awesome. We went to your house while you were in Wisconsin, sad to miss you!!! We need to get together.

Ouch... I bet that hurt when Caleb got kicked by a horse. I bet Josh was glad you were not there for that one. Lynn would have fibbed about it too!
