Well, after a long break (mostly due to our lack of internet) we are back and just as boring as ever although we have had a few new developments in the past few months so here's a quick update. Lots of pictures and few words, so enjoy.
Early Thanksgiving dinner with some of our great friends from Logan. Sorry, our friend Sean has a condition that doesn't let him close his mouth, it's called childishness! Love ya Sean!
Happy Birthday Milhouse!!! Thanks for all the Memories.
Congratulations Val!!!!! After years of hard work and sleepless nights she graduated as a Severe Special Ed Teacher and is off and running with her own class. She loves what she does and is VERY good at it. Her ideas and methods are being adopted by the other teachers in the school and her kids love her too. I have never been so proud of anyone in my life and I am so happy for her. She cares so much for her students and the impact she is having in their lives is already noticeable. It's not the highest paying job in the world so my F430 has to wait, but it is incredibly rewarding in so many other ways not to mention how funny the kids are. If you want a good laugh just ask Val to tell you one of her stories. Way to go Babe!
Moving Day, at least the first one followed by three subsequent trips up. Let's just say this experience only confirms my desire to only want to move two more times in my life and one of those is to my grave. I won't go into great detail, but let's just say if you think you need to get rid of your junk, do it now before you move. I know it hurts to let go, but your back will hurt a lot more if you don't. Oh and by the way Shah, get your hands off my junk!
Val's Classroom. Okay so it's a portable and it isn't all the way finished in this picture, but you get the idea. She really likes it because it is by itself and she has a lot of room and with the new addition of the microwave and Mini-Fridge (Happy Valentine's Day) it is a perfect little spot for her and her kids.
Another year, another house for ants (Zoolander). Once again we had a blast doing Gingerbread Houses at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They are the best to keep this tradition up especially since they have to make so many of them. We love you guys and appreciate all you have done for us and for giving us this to look forward to every year!
Valentines was pretty low-key this year. We had an awesome Breakfast-for-Dinner with pink pancakes the night before with the Agrens and then spent Valentine's day with Gen, Shah, Gav and Mallory. We went to Little America for dinner and hung out downtown for the evening. The trip to the moon was nice and it was fun just to relax a little. The Mini-Fridge is the gift I gave to Val, and for all you haters it's what she wanted and it still as good as the day she got it! How are your flowers looking today? That's what I thought.
And finally, I have been working hard to increase my vertical leap, and I'm happy to say that I am finally to the point that I can dunk an 8 foot rim with ease.

Nice post. I see you looked up my buddy Bob Vance with Vance Refrigeration for your gift idea! I got Gentry a freezer this year, she loves it! Bob Vance from Vance Refrigeration helped me pick it out!
Congrats on Graduation and on the new class. I am so glad things are going well.
Hey Val, Stacey told me about your blog, so I decided to come snooping! I hope you don't mind if we add you to our list. It's been fun to look through and see all the pics of your fam! Congrats again on graduation, I know you're going to be a GREAT teacher!
Back in the 'loop'...I can now breath easy:) Thanks for the update guys. Brandt- i think your Valentines day gift is superb, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Val, I love the classroom and I too am so proud of where you have brought yourself. You amaze me. One question, who is milhouse and what does he have to do with your odometer? All I can come up with is that your car's name is milhouse and he had a b-day the SAME day he hit the 100,000 mile mark...
Hey Val!! Congrats on graduating and the new job!!! Where are you guys living now?
