Christmas-February

Update!

Here is an update on the latest and greatest crazy month or two since I have updated this thing! We had an awesome Christmas with my family in town, 7 people in our house at once for one week! This semester I decided to take the semester off since we couldn't get the kids into the daycare on campus. Which ended up being a tremendous blessing for this week Austin was in the hospital. He had ear infections in both ears, RSV, and bronchiolitis. It was pretty intense and scary. No mother should have to go through that with their own child. He was on oxygen and an IV and had to be suctioned out with a tube that was about 8 inches long down his nose about every two hours. But with some aggressive treatments and LOTS of prayers he was able to come home after five days. Things now are just about back to normal. Randall's mom just returned home after getting here the day after he got to the hospital to help us. We had so many people here willing to help out it was wonderful.

Thanksgiving Update

Well we had a pretty exciting Thanksgiving Break. We decided that it would be worth it to take off Monday and Tuesday from school and drive to Los Angeles. We spent the first day with my grandparents and then went on to Randall's aunt and uncles house. His whole family was there and had a BLAST! Jenna got to spend some time with her Nana and Grandpa Max and some of her cousins. She probably had the best time of all. The day after Thanksgiving we all went to Knottsbury Farm, which is kind of like Six Flags. Jenna got to ride on a bunch of rides and we had as much fun watching her as she did on the rides themselves. We then drove home and stayed in Las Vegas to split the drive up.
Jenna got a kick out of seeing the water light show at the Bellagio and the lion house in the MGM Grand. This week was the last week of class and next week will conclude the semester with finals. Randall is excited to start up his last semester in January and I am just anxious to finish school in the next year and a half. The kids are growing like weeds and learning new things, as well as teaching me new things everyday. Austin probably makes the most noticeable progress, but Jenna's are just as important. Austin got his first two teeth last week and is doing really well on solids and rolling over. Jenna is working on her reading skills and potty training, which just might be the death of me. But it will all be worth it to not have to change so many diapers a day! But let us know how you all are doing, and P.S if you have any pictures of Thanksgiving Break please email them to me.

Jenna's First and Second Birthday's

Hey guys! Man this weekend has been crazy! We had Randall's family in town from Friday to Monday and had a blast at the BYU vs. Air Force game. Our brother-in-law Dave Oswald plays for BYU and that was so much fun seeing him play. Jenna and Austin are doing just great! Austin has been rolling over for a few weeks now. Although I am hesitant to put him on the floor for very long just because Jenna doesn't always watch where she is going. But he is such a good baby. He laughs all the time and is very ticklish. For the most part he has been sleeping through the night which is great for all involved. Jenna is just learning so many things so fast it amazes me. She is almost 2 1/2 and can say all her ABC's and count to 20. She tells me how she should do things and when she does not want to do something. I think is is funny and irritating at the same time. She also loves calling daddy by his first name when she gets mad and wants something. Except it comes out "Waddle" instead of Randall. Which I think is just adorable, he doesn't think so. But that's our latest update!
