Kendall's braids
I am finally starting to get the hang of braiding. This is after a week and a half of practice. I had to start braiding it because the ponytails were falling out and hair was falling in her eyes. Her hair is still pretty fine even though she has tons of it. I think it turns out way cuter now. I haven't got it down enough tough to do it all the way down. I tried but the front all fell out and we ended up using a head band the rest of the day. Headbands work great too if I could only get her to keep it in and the hair out of her face.

My Computer Finally up and Running!
Well we finally made it to the lovely Farmington, New Mexico! It really is pretty up here but it is started to get cold, and we do not have warm COATS and I only have one pair of jeans! Unfortunately I think I will have to purchase some warmer clothes for the family, so we stay inside for the rest of the winter. I think I would be perfectly happy staying inside but I think that the boys would object to that. As soon as I find which box I packed my camera cord in, then I will post some pictures of the place. It really is pretty but COLD!
Kaden loves the grass, and there are a lot of cool parks around town. We do need to find where there are more things to do for the kids here. But with only having one car right now, I have to wake up along with the kids at 5:45 in the morning to take Justin to work. I can handle it, I just don't like waking the kids up that early, they end up being so grumpy all day long.
I have begun writing a novel. Crazy huh? I am writing about the craziness that has happened to our family in the past 10 years, in a fictional form, but you will recognize alot of what is going on, maybe some stuff you have never heard before. Sorry Ryan you are the majority of the craziness! However, I am glad that the craziness in your life has disappeared for the most part. Thank you Summer!! I have only wrote two pages, and when I am finished with the first chapter I will email so you all can be my first editors and let me know if it is interesting enough to get published. This is something that I have really wanted to do for a long time, but think it has taken me to get to this point in my life where I can really focus on it. I have no friends, and no family, so it is just me and my thoughts:) I know it is scary.
I love and miss you all so very much. I look forward to seeing everyone in March!! I don't know if Justin will be able to make it out if he gets on the shut down but I will be coming out!! I am excited, and then we will be making a trip out to Kansas City for Carter's Baptism. I am looking forward to getting away. Hopefully Justin will be able to take care of himself!
Love you all.

Reading with Grandpa
Kendall sure had a fun time reading with Grandpa on the couch during their last visit. I think Grandpa had a good time with Kendall too.

New Temple!

Now we know that it is only about 1.5 miles from our house!! Just on the other side of the freeway we believe.

It was on the news last night too. This is so exciting for us to be so close to it. What a blessing. It is all most people can talk about here as of right now we have to travel to Winter Quarters Nebraska temple about 3-4 hours away.
Friends and Cake!
Friends came to celebrate after Grandma and Grandpa left. One more cake! This time a crown and staff decorated the top. All Kendall wanted for her birthday was Cake!! So we had lots of it! I think she had a wonderful birthday and next year she will be even more excited as the day comes closer! Thanks you everyone for thinking of her on this her special Day!
