Shoveling and Snow Fun

So this picture is from about a week ago. I got up that morning thinking I would just go and do all my errands, but then it just kept snowing and snowing. So, I decided to just stay home and enjoy the snow from the inside...but eventually we did have to go out and shovel the 11 or 12 inches that we received that morning. I really have been enjoying the snow this year...something that is not easy for me.

Masters of Science in Psychology Graduation

Congrats to Brett for completing his masters! He will continue to work towards his Ed. S. for those confused people. We had a really fun time. Brett's parents came up and stayed with us and unfortunately had to drive home in a crazy snowstorm. We appreciated seeing them and Jace loved bonding with them too. Afterward we just had a really nice dinner and dessert here at our house...it was so nice to not have to fight the crowds and the noise...especially since we never get to see his parents. All in all the stress of school is NOT over and life could change in an instant...but we will continue to plug along at this school thing and do the best that we can. But at least we have made it through the Masters!!!!

The best part about the whole thing was that it took less than an hour...and for those of you who remeber his bachelors....that is a big improvement.

First Snow Storm of Winter!

The first very light snow storm this winter happened....Finally! It totally makes it feel alot more like christmas. Brett had to head to school, so Jace and I went out and shoveled the driveway. Jace was really excited that there was snow and he love the "snowpants". This being my fourth winter in Logan...I am actually loving the snow. Really I just like to get out and shovel...cause it is such a work out! Happy snowing!

Life in General

Since I haven't posted for awhile, I will give a quick update of what has been happening.
Thankgiving was wonderful. Jace didn't get to experience much of it, but still had fun anyway. We sat down to eat and about 5 minutes later he decided it was nap time...man that turkey worked fast. Jace asks everyday if we can go to the airport...so we can go see grandma and papa again. He definitely doesn't understand the distance or the time involved. We sure do wish we were closer.
I had a second security check at the airport. Silly me forgot to take out a bottle of water. I am so not good at this security thing. I guess I just have the attitude that I don't have anything to hide so search me all you want. It was funny!
Jace was holding onto a cold for about 9 days and so we decided to finally take him to the doctor...and whammee a double ear infection. I told Jace that the next time he has an ear infection to pull on his ears or act more cranky...at least then I would know it was more serious and wouldn't have to wait the week to 10 days before the "cold" is over and the doctor will actually do something.
Brett is almost done with this semester...aka...really busy. There is about a week and a half left. He has so much on his plate, but still is a wonderful father and husband through it all. He will be graduating with his MS on the 12th. I am so proud of him. He gets to be hooded this time!
We put up our christmas tree and decorations and it was just so festive. It really has put me in the mood. I can't wait for christmas morning when we get to surprise Jace with gifts. This is as much fun as when I was a child.
The busy month begins, but I love it!!!!
