Updates

I guess it has been a while since I have done any updated on our blog. Life is good, we are all doing really well. Jeff is doing really well at work and just got a promotion... which is excellent news. The director of his dept and his supervisor both approached him at seperate times to tell him that he should apply for this job and that it would be a good move for him. He was at an associate level and this position was posted for a senior enginner, which is 3 levels higher then what he is, so he is excited they consider him ready for this.... and I am not to upset about the raise that will come with it. Jeff is also still plugging away at school. He has about a month left this semester and he will be done with 2 more classes.

I am staying at home and taking care of the kids and still working away. Still frustrated that the house cant stay clean for more then an hour and wondering how I make it through the day with as much whinning as I hear every day.

Kelsi is working hard at school and is doing really well. She likes her class and teacher. She is growing up so fast and and doing so good.

Gabe is doing well to... he has a play date with a friend he gets to see twice a week and we work at home with preschool work. He loves to do his homework to. He is still obsessed with Batman and Transformers.

Tory is doing good, she seems to be growing out of a lot of the seizures and holding breath. She has been a really happy child lately and seems to be growing into her huge personality. She is such a smart school, we even catch her doing things that Gabe dosent do himself yet! She did give herself her first black eye last night... poor thing.

Halloween

The kids had a fun time this halloween... Kelsi really got into and did not want to stop trick or treating at all. We started off the evening at the ward trunk or treat and then hit the neighboorhood. Jeff graciously offered to go home and hand out treats. He has always wanted to give out the full size candybars and when I got a coupon for them at Costco I thought why not. We did not get one trick or treater so on top of the box of candybars we have, we also have a big bag of candy from Costco left over to. So I guess it will go away for stocking stuffers. After me and the kids walked around for a while we then went to our friends the Moores for cake and hot chocolate. It was a fun night.

Here are a few pictures of the kids in their costumes
