Sending Love

Casey's Grandpa was in a terrible accident this weekend. His car was hit by a SEMI! Things were scary for a little while but it looks like things are going to be alright although he still has a long way to go. So we just wanted to send him our love and send some "get well" vibes his way. We love you and are praying for you!

My Maia

Isn't she just cute?

Ahhh...Junior High

Don't you all remember those fun times of dressing up to go to school? Pajama day, school color day....50's day. Yeah, I tried to forget, too. But then Casey reminded me all over again. I'm thinking he has made that final leap into being a junior high teacher. At least he's a fun one and besides, he makes a pretty good nerd, eh? I'm so proud. =)

We're still here!

I thought I'd at least give you all an update as to what we've been up to since I can't seem to get a hold of those Halloween pictures I wanted to add.

Well, first off, we're all finally getting better from the plague that has visited us. That was nasty! Gotta love those change of seasons and the fun stuff that goes along with it! It's nice to finally have some healthy (and mostly happy) people around me. =)

Casey's car is officially a goner. Is that how "gone-er" is spelled? Either way, it's hit the end of it's days. Its transmission went out and it costs more than the car is worth to get it fix. We've been in mourning. It was a good little car that served us well. Here it is awaiting it's final destination. In the meantime, a friend let us borrow a van for a couple weeks and the kids have LOVED riding around in it. Oh, yes, I feel a van in my future...and so does Casey except he's not excited. =)

Other fun news is that Casey has been provisionally accepted into graduate school, meaning if he passes his student teaching, he's in! We're excited about that. So by this time next year he should almost be done with his Masters and hopefully be teaching Spanish AND Arabic! Hurray! Someone told Casey that he's actually designing the first Arabic curriculum in Idaho so he should expect to get calls from anyone else who wants to teach Arabic from now on! I thought that was pretty exciting. Leave it to Casey to get Idaho on the path to learning Arabic. He loves the language so he's certainly the right one to do it.

And I nearly forgot to let everyone know that two of my sisters and I are starting another blog to share our favorite recipes! It's just barely up and running so no recipes yet, but soon we hope that it'll be a great place to find some great recipes! I've added it to my blog list, You Gotta Taste This. I'm also going to add a link to a tutorial on how to make scripture stickers. My kids love them in their scriptures since they can now find where the scripture stories are in their own scriptures! They're alot of fun!

That gets you pretty caught up! Love you all!

Halloween

We've been sick around here so I'm sorry it's taken so long to finally getting around to posting a picture of us in our halloween costumes. Somehow we didn't get a picture of Sadie so I'll have to post a few more pictures later when I get the ones my aunt took. We had alot of fun!
