the old man...

is 57 today.
weird.
this man makes me crazy and frustrates me beyond belief sometimes... but he is my pops and i love him. and my wee girl loves her chuckles too.
happy birthday dad!

thankful...

so everyone has been talking about this lately and i wanted to make a quick post to say that i am so grateful and thankful for GOOD FRIENDS and FOOD. we are so lucky to have an amazing set of friends here in logan right now. and we were able to spend thanksgiving with a few of them. we love you guys and shall miss you dearly when we head out for internships!

Happy Turkey Day Peoples!

and it goes without saying but i shall say it: we have amazing families and we heart you fools!

crazy day...

today the student council decided that it should be crazy dress up day at school. wren usually dresses herself like a gypsy anyway... but here are the two stink winks all ready for a super crazy day:they both have different shoes on. dylan has his shirt on backwards as well as his soccer shorts inside out over his pants. wren has like three shirts on all different colors, some jammie pants i made her and she has three peacock piglets. they were so excited!

internship...

well it is done. cory has finished his internship application and we are awaiting the phone calls and letters for interviews. we applied to 15 sites. here are our top three:

number 1:
knoxville, tn


number 2:
austin, tx


number 3:
eugene, or


wish us luck. they use a matching program and we will find out where we matched in february so we have a long wait ahead of us.

meet snaggles...

i dont know about everyone else... but cory and i are HORRIBLE toothfairies. we have woken our kids up about eveytime that we have done this task and its not like we've only done it once or twice. mr dylan has lost 6 teeth and wren two. so last night when the girl pulled her first tooth... i knew that we had to come up with something to make it easier, especially since i am on crutches (stupid knee). anyhow this is snaggles our tooth holder. he/she hangs on the door until the tooth fairy comes and takes the tooth away and leaves the monies. there is a little pocket on the back of him/her. IT IS PERFECT... no waking of the kids... although cory did shoot up out of bed and tell me that i forgot to do it this morning. i laughed and said yeah i forgot to hobble down the stairs on the crutches and do it. har har. he thought that was funny... i did not.

ruthless toothless...

the girl has lost her first tooth on her own. and you can kinda see the weird spacer contraption on the tooth that the dentist pulled. you can kinda tell that the other front tooth is ready to be pulled as well... it is super weeble wobble.

oh hallows eve...
