Molly convinced my to get on face book, so I now have a profile there. I can't believe how many people I found from school. This week has gone about the same as usual. Family and Work. Fun, Fun, Fun! Nothing really new, aren't we boring. (finally)! It has been nice having things back to normal after our not so normal Thanksgiving and Christmas. Things are finally calm, just the way I like them. Brian and I are going to Rascal Flats concert on Thursday that ought to add a little bit of excitement into our week! I'm actually really excited. It has been a long time since I have been to a concert. I'll let all of you jealous people know how good it was on Friday!

Don't have have the cutest kids in the whole world!! Ok I know I'm bragging. I know I already showed off some of our family pictures but since I'm doing an update on each of us I thought you would want reminder of how cute the boys are as you read about them!!

Well it has been a while since I've been on. Sorry about that. January flew by. Scott had another surgery on his left eye. The eye bottom lid was rolling in because of the scar tissue. They had to go in and cut away the scare tissue and then they pumped it full of collagen (not sure how to spell). He had a two week check up and the doctor said the collagen was separating for the lid so he has another check up scheduled for March 9. If it hasn't fixed itself they will have to go in and remove the collagen that separated. The rolling looks like it is fixed but he will check that again as well. Since he doesn't have any immediate medical appointments he is back in Colorado with his Mom.

The other boys are settling back it so school for the second have of the year. The holidays went well but I'm always glad when we can get back to normal. Bridger thrives on sameness. So we try really hard not to change up our routine to much. He was a trooper while Scott was down. He tried really hard to talk quiet (that is really hard for him!!), he also tried really hard to be helpful and kind to Scott (that to is hard). I was worried about his grades suffering but he actually did quite well. I have to give credit to the great study skills teacher he has for last period who makes sure he works on all his assignments and helps him get them turned in. I know he would have failed without her. My mom has found a few good books on Aspergers Syndrome and Brian has been getting newsletters on line about it. It is amazing how well Bridger fits in with all the symptoms of this. We thought he had OCD but the Aspergers descriptions fits him to a tee.

Connor is in orchestra this year and is really enjoying learning how to play the violin. He does so well at the Junior High. He always does his homework without being asked and he is very responsible. He also helps out so much with Bridger. It's probably hard for the younger brother to help take care of the older brother but Connor does it anyway. He has tons of patience most of the time (although sometimes he's a typical teenager) He helps me tons and I really appreciate it.

Brian went back to work in Lindon. He is still working and Sunroc. It is kind of a far drive but it doesn't seem to bother him. I think he enjoys being back over there with his coworkers, I think he missed having them to talk to while his was at the Spanish Fork location.

I'm still at the bank and I work about 20 hours a week. I also teach about 14 kids piano. That makes it so I can be home in the afternoon when the boys are home. I don't know how long I will continue teaching I'm getting kinda burned out. I've been teaching for 6 or 7 years now.
