Umm.... Nevermind.

 We have the CUTEST NEPHEWS EVER!

First, there's the five year old who's smarter than we are by a long shot. He loves to play games and can work the TV better than my parents. I'm not even kidding.

And then, there's the almost one year old who screams and runs around like a banshee when his clothes are off. Then as soon as we put them back on, he's the mellowist (I know, I made the word up) kid ever. Seriously. We can't even get him to crack a smile!

And last, there's the sweet almost two month old who sleeps most of the day and has the most perfect little baby smell that I wish came in a perfume. He's the perfect cuddler.

I almost kidnapped all of them.

Until....

I was left for 2 minutes with all of them by.my.self.

One was trying to shove everything he could into his mouth, the oldest was trying to show me a million things and asking me a billion questions all at once and the baby was screaming bloody murder.

I quickly dropped the idea of kidnap and decided... You know what? I can wait on kids.

But they're still the cutest ever!

Maybe I'll post pictures of the evidence tomorrow.

Life as we know it


I feel a lot better about life... it's good to vent. :)

I haven't really posted about what we're doing in life so I thought it was about time. I also had some prompting from a certain someone *ahem* Carol. :) Ha ha.

My auditions went really well! I performed really well so now all I have to do is wait. They told me that they would let me know at the end of December or beginning of January. So, that's what I'm doing. Waiting. Bleh.

To catch up for the past couple of months, Cody and I went to the Greek festival with Camille and Nate. The food was great and we had a lot of fun.



Before Halloween (I know.. it's December ha ha) we made hot cider and caramel apples. It was delicious and a lot of fun.


We sold the Explorer too. We're sad that it's gone but we're loving Betty.




I also cut Cody's hair for the first time. It was so nerve wracking! But I thought it turned out pretty good.


Here I am being nervous.



And the finished product. Yay!




Candice had baby Lincoln a month ago and we still haven't been able to visit. boo. But we're hoping to get there in the next couple of weeks.

He's SO adorable :)



And I can't wait to see these cute kiddos either.


That's it in a nutshell. We have a lot of parties and get togethers this month that we're pretty excited about.
We love Christmas time!

He's a mean one...

Seriously. I CAN.NOT.WAIT. until the next two weeks are over.

School is a royal pain in the... well... you know.

I got a stinking failing grade in my online class because of the stupid professor who doesn't have a heart.
Grinch.
I forgot to turn in two assignments on time.
However, they were only a day late! 0 credit for both.
Which I knew that would happen ahead of time.
I know, I know. He doesn't believe it's possible to forget either.
Well, excuse me Mr. Perfect!
It's hard taking 9 classes, having a job and teaching voice lessons at the same time. BAH!
Then, the icing on the cake is for my last assignment I wasn't as detailed as he would have liked so I got less than half credit.
The assignment was worth over half my grade. I worked hard on it!
When he returns our assignments he usually adds comments on why we missed things. He never said a word on my last one. I searched and searched and searched.
So, I emailed Mr. Grinch and asked him why I got such a low score. He emailed me right back and said he explained very well in the attachment why I did so poorly and that I need to look harder.
I then received another email shortly after with an attachment of my corrections and his not-so-apologetic apology saying he "forgot" to attach it the first time he sent me my grade.
But as he said before, he explained everything very well in the attachment as to why I recieved a low grade and how it is impossible for him to give me a passing grade.
Now I have to retake the stinking class next semester.


I hate school.

and crying.
