They say that time flies when your having fun . . . I don't know if I would call this past several months as fun, but the time has been flying. I can't believe that I haven't posted anything in 3 1/2 months, not even a Christmas posting (sorry for not sending out cards this year!) As for catching up; Christmas was great, the twins turned 8 and got baptized, new years brought in a new semester for me (my last one) and we played in the snow a lot. School has been a crazy ride and this semester has been full of busy work, more papers than I thought possible and a lot of community service work plus studying for national boards. Other than that though our family has just been pushing forward. Brett has really been exceptional since I have been in school. He has taken on the roles of morning wake up for the kids (plus getting them ready and on the bus), cooking during the week on my late nights (he is a really good cook) and chauffeur for Sadie now that she has started doing track after school - plus many more. He is good at not complaining (most of the time :) but is looking forward to not having to have so much extra responsibility at home when I graduate. I am so grateful for him. I don't know how I would have gotten through this without him.
This week has been my spring break which I started off by taking my board exams; 8 hours of testing makes for a long day. I won't know if I passed or not for several more weeks so keep me in your prayers (that I passed).
I will be graduating on May 8th - so I will make sure that I post photos of that blessed day! All I will have to worry about then if finding a board patient for my clinical boards in June. Anyone know somebody who hasn't been to have their teeth cleaned in 10 years and have tarter built up all over? If so, let me know :).
So far all I have talked about it me, sorry. The kids are growing up really fast. I just bought Sadie some dresses for church and Easter yesterday. I had to buy them from the ladies section because she is so tall now and growing up so fast. She tried them all on last night and she doesn't even look a little bit like a little girl anymore. It is kind of sad, I remember when she would stand in our living room and do a little wiggle dance every time I put on music. Man, I feel old all of a sudden! Cody has become pretty independent. He likes to cook and play basketball outside and recently he discovered that reading long books isn't any harder than reading short books; it just takes longer to finish them! Imagine that. He is close to finishing "Eragon" and he is really enjoying it. Jackson and Greg are doing good being in the same class in school this year. They love their teacher. Jackson has trouble not talking in class, he thinks that if someone talks to him he HAS to talk back. Greg is our family clown and thinks that dinner time is the time when he needs to make people laugh, much to the dismay of Brett and I. He also thinks that he won't get in trouble if he just puts on huge smile. Jackson has been growing out his hair because he likes to comb it in the morning so he looks "so handsome". His hair is really thin and gets really poofy long, so it is getting cut today.
Since I haven't taken many photos the last couple months here are some pics from when our kids where little - they really have grown a lot!

Thanks for all your love and support. We think of you all often, just don't have the time right now to always act on those thoughts.
