I'm not dead, I promise!

I know, it's been forever and a day since I've blogged. I'm not even sure I can tell you why or what I've been doing. But I'm almost never home, and even when I am I have a difficult time finding time to get to blogs. So I'm sorry I haven't been reading or commenting on your blogs. I'm going to try to be better about that. And I'll try to update all of you on what's been going on with me. Since it's getting close to midnight, I'll be brief tonight, but I promise to work harder at keeping you updated!

Becca had her birthday party yesterday. Her birthday isn't actually until Tuesday, but we wanted Scott's family to be able to come, so we had her party on Saturday. We decided to do an ice cream party, and it was a huge success! We had a couple of buckets of ice cream and a bunch of different toppings so everyone could pick what they wanted on their sundaes. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow of that. Now she's thrilled to be 4 (even though she's not quite yet), and she had a wonderful time at her pink ice cream party.

Tyler had the interesting experience of losing his first two teeth within a few days of each other, both in public! His first tooth came out in Jack in the Box. We were done with dinner, killing time in between gymnastics classes, and I decided to wiggle it a little. To everyone's surprise, it came out! Then a few days later, he was wiggling his other tooth in the middle of Sacrament meeting, and to everyone's shock, it came out too! He pulled out his own tooth! It was hilarious.

Rachel is thriving in school. I'm wowed at how quickly she is absorbing knowledge. She has also, after just one term, been moved up into the advanced grade school gymnastics class at The Little Gym. Her skills there are progressing rapidly, and I'm constantly amazed by her and how much she can do in every aspect of her life.

I'm actually getting to the gym again. I trade babysitting with a friend every morning, so from about 10:30-11:30 every morning, you'll find me at the gym! It feels really great to get back to it. I feel better, I'm lag less during the day, and I actually sleep better at night. I'm not sure what else I have to say about my life. I'm back to no dessert in my diet, I'm finally feeling competent in my calling at church, and I've made so much of Jenn's popcorn for my friends that it's becoming famous!

Scott is doing well. He mostly still likes his job, even though he works late most days. He enjoys his calling and is overall happy and busy. He's enjoying his X-Box 360. It took him less than 2 weeks to finish Halo 2!

So we're all (mostly) healthy and happy and doing well!
