Long time no post

Wow the holiday's threw me for a loop this year! Wasn't it just Christmas? Valentines Day is in a week and I have neglected this poor blog terribly.

We had a lovely Christmas celebration at our new house with my side of the family on December 19th. Emily was with her dad this year, so we partied early. The kiddos didn't mind at all! We had lots of munchies and the weather was great. The boys got to play some basketball and we soaked up the sunshine. Christmas Eve was the annual Bingham celebration. More yummy food & lots of relaxation time. I kind of liked not having to host or go anywhere Christmas Day. Sierra and Andon got to play, play, play and I was able to stay in my jammies.

Sierra learned how to ride her new bike without training wheels on Christmas Day. It took her all of 20 minutes to figure it out. What a rockstar. Andon got a train table from Santa and he and Mark are in a battle of wills over it. Andon takes it apart and says "Daddy fix?" daily it seems. I think we need to bust out the super glue.

January has brought an onslaught of sickness, really just the last 2 1/2 weeks. Stomach flu and colds all around. Poor Sierra got sent home from school again this past Thursday. I took her in on Saturday and she has some meds now for her ear and sinus infections. Totally different girl this morning. I just hope we can stay healthy. This time of year alway has be considering home schooling. Then I think about all the people in jail that Mark has to deal with and realize that I don't want to end up there for throttling my kids and send Sierra off to school. She needs the socialization and I need the break!!

February started off with Marks 38th birthday. Time to start planning that 40th soon. Ha! This past weekend the celebration continued along with a Super Bowl gathering. Looking ahead to the month we have soccer starting for Sierra and that will keep us BUSY. I am working lots of hours right now as our high schools are in the midst of state Soccer tournaments. Almost done and I can get back to part time.

I really hope I can start to keep up with this blog. I want it to me more of a quick what's going on rather than a novel like today.
