Long Time, No Write

It's really been forever since I've posted this time! It's hard to find time normally, but the last couple months have been very busy. I've had a couple procedures and we've had a lot of family in town. I finally had surgery on my sinus to correct a deviated septum and widen narrow passages to my sinus'. I've had a very bad cold and a sinus infection since then. So when I'm done with the antibiotics, I'll let you know if the surgery actually worked! Work is same old story for me...I keep having to go! At least I enjoy the work I do since I have to work. My mom was here for the month of March with my dad coming and going. And then my brother Jeremy and his wife Jennifer and their family came for the first week of April. The boys really enjoyed having Grandma around and loved chasing Papa Ruben when he was here. They also really enjoyed having their cousins here and doing lots of fun things with them. Last week we went up to Tyler to see Grandma Chris before she left to go back to Jordan.

Bryan just finished his second semester of nursing school. Two down, two to go. That's right...he's at the halfway point. Only one year left. He is off for the summer except an online ethics class that he'll start at the end of June. He gets to spend lots of quality time with the boys. Plus I'm trying to make my schedule so I have 5, 6, or 7 days off at a time so we can go out of town or just spend time together as a family. That's one advantage of 12 hour shifts.

It's hard to believe, but Clark and Taylor will be turning 3 in a couple weeks. They remind us almost daily that their birthday is coming up. They are still obsessed with trains right now and that's their request for birthday presents. Their language skills are improving daily. It's amazing the amount they seem to learn. They both speak in full sentences now and are learning new words everyday. Clark talks with his hands a lot now and it is so cute and funny. They have learned the words and the hand motions to 'Book of Mormon Stories' and is very cute to watch them singing. They'll just randomly start singing, but if you catch them they'll get bashful and hide their faces.

Logan is 15 months old now and is growing so fast. He still wants to be doing whatever big brothers are doing and is happiest when he's allowed to join in their fun. He's working on four teeth right now, so he's not always happy, but when he's laughing and smiling, you can't help but join in. He has the cutest smile and the best belly laugh. He's finally ready for his first haircut. He's actually got a mullet right now. It's fashionable on a one year old right?!?

We've finally been getting some rain here in San Antonio and last week I took the boys out for a walk around the neighborhood....that quickly turned into a puddle jumping expedition. Here's a quick video of it. They had a lot of fun.
