Well, we survived Christmas (barely). I've decided that right now I am GLAD I work full time!
My kids have spent WAY too much time together as of late & do almost nothing but fight, and they are NOT quite about it so when Caleb finally falls asleep it lasts no more than 30 minutes at a time. I'm sure that spending 8+ hours in the truck together over the course of 2 days didn't help that much.
Caleb is teething & has a daily 20 minute quota for being happy. He thinks you must hold him & that you absolutely must be standing while holding him. Sleeping through the night is not an option lately. He is eating cereal & baby food quite well now. He LOVES to eat his toes though & especially thinks it's a great idea to do so while eating his cereal. He has gotten good at moving the walker around when he's in it too. Caleb rolled from his back to his belly about a week before Christmas & then didn't do it again until Christmas Day. Well, Christmas Day he took off & now thinks he's a regular pro at rolling over. He only gets mad when he gets high centered on his belly & can't flip back over to his back. He's starting to try & get up on his knees already too. That's a scary thought!!
Other than that, we've had a pretty good break. We've had a ton of snow so that has kept us inside quite a bit. I'm hoping that we're done with the snow for awhile once I go back to school on the 5th! Travis' sister & her family came back out from Florida to be with us for Christmas. It has been kinda different to see them so much in 1 month (they were here for Thanksgiving too).
We had a good time visiting everyone in Manti over Christmas & the kids loved seeing their cousins they don't get to see very often.
Samantha keeps asking why her dad doesn't get a Christmas break. It's a hard concept for her to understand that not everyone gets the same time off that she & I do!
We are looking forward to 2009 & all the adventures it is sure to bring with it (so long as some of the 2008 adventures are not to be repeated!!!). We hope the new year finds you happy & well. Can't wait to hear from you!

Whew!!
Well, I made it! It's SO nice to think that I have 2 whole weeks before I have to go back to school!! Now I just hope I can catch up on everything at home.
It has snowed SO much here in the last few days. On Friday I drove Trav's truck to work because I knew we were going to get dumped on & the truck has 4 wheel drive.
Friday after I got home from work Trav shoveled out the driveway & we went into town. We dropped the kids off at his mom & dad's house & went out to finish our Christmas shopping. I only forgot 1 present. Not bad considering we left at like 9 pm!! We got home about 2 am with Caleb & went to bed. Today I spent pretty much all day wrapping presents. Glad to have that one crossed off the list!!
The first weekend in December we went down to Manti to get our Christmas tree. It was the first year we took the kids up on the mountain with us to do so. Actually, after thinking about it I realized Trav's parents had gotten us one each year since the year Sam was born, so it's been awhile since we've been down to pick out our own tree. We had a ton of fun though. The kids were thrilled to ride the 4 wheelers - even in the cold, and they thought it was pretty cool their dad would climb a tree and cut it down just so they could have their Christmas tree. There was only a little bit of snow to trudge through too. In years past I've tromped in snow that was nearly waist high!! You should have seen me on the mountain the year I was 7 months pregnant with Samantha!!
Caleb is eating cereal & baby food now. Sometimes he isn't too sure of the whole idea (like when Trav fed him carrots - STRAIGHT.) but he's doing good with it and getting chubbier every day!
I'm hoping to start my baking tomorrow. Hopefully the kids will cooperate & I can get it all done & the house cleaned before Christmas Eve. I know, that's an ambitious thought!!
