I'm still Alive!

Sorry I haven't posted lately. There has been so much that I need to catch up on that every time I think about posting, I feel overwhelmed! I have tons of pictures from vacations we have been on. We went to Island Park Idaho with some of my biological family. It was really fun and great to get to know them more. And Jeff and I went on a couple camping trips with just our little family. Ty is such a great sleeper! But on one of the trips he got a croupy cough and kept waking up almost every half hour. We were afraid of making other campers mad and attracting wild animals (we actually heard a few making noises outside the tent when Ty woke up screaming a few times), that we packed just the kids in the Dodge (at midnight!) and drove all the way home. It was only up at Bountiful Peak and Ty only seemed sick at night, so we went back up the next morning, packed up our stuff and went on a couple hikes. The Dodge was awesome to take up on those rough roads. It's such and awesome vehicle! I will have to post the pics up later.

My sister-in-law Angie, her neighbor, and I have all decided to home school our kids for preschool together. We started it last Thursday and are taking turns teaching. My turn is in next Thursday and I am way excited! It's going to be fun to be Tyler's teacher for a little while and to be in charge of what he learns! I don't think I could ever handle home schooling for longer than preschool. I love him, but I sure am welcoming public school with open arms when he goes to Kindergarten! It will be a nice break.

We are planning on going to Oregon some time before the year is over. Jeff's boss gave him a few more days off that he will get every year, so we are excited to use them. He has a sister who has a relative that lives by the Oregon coast! We went there once before we had Tyler. It was cold and windy, but way fun! I can't wait!
