Sorry, NO more pictures!!!

As of tomorrow (4/8) we will not have the internet at our home. Our contract with AOL expires and we don't want to pay for it anymore while we are here. We will just use the internet at our parents house as soon as we move back to Utah. This means we will not have access to download our pictures to the web. I will still be able to give all of you updates, but it will be at school during my class breaks. (Disclaimer: This may not be every week, but you never know, so keep checking our website to see!!!)

Last weekend we had the chance to watch General Conference. It was fun to be able to watch with Braydon. In his Friend magazine, he had pictures of the First Presidency and 12 Apostles. When each speaker began to speak, he would search for their picture (even if they were not part of the 1st Pres. or Apostles). We have also enjoyed the fact that we have been able to watch Conference for the past two years in the comfort of our own home. This meant that we could lounge around all weekend in our PJ's. (which we did)

The other day, Braydon wanted to make a sleeping hut in his bedroom. So we made it and he slept in it for about 4 nights. One night, we took some pictures and put them in our photo album. These will be the last pictures for a while, so enjoy.

Nothing Going On Here

Not much has been happening here. We are all busy with school and work. Katie is counting down the days until she's done working (which is at 16 days) and I'm counting down the days untill I'm out of school (which is at 30 days). I do have some seminars at the end of May and first of June but they are just pass/fail classes so I don't count them.

March Madness is coming down to the end this weekend. I officially sucked it up this year with NO teams in the Final Four (0-4). In my class, I am in about 8th place but since I have no teams left, I can't get any more points and there are a few behind me that have 1 or 2 teams left. So basically, I will even be farther down then 8th on the final list. Katie did pretty good. She was only 6 points behind me and she doesn't have any teams left either.

We started to plan our last adventure while we are here in Flagstaff. We decided to take Braydon to a Arizona Diamondbacks game for a final weekend in Pheonix in May after my finals. I think it will be fun. Since Katie works for Best Western, she has been gathering up points when we stay at a Best Western Hotel, so out hotel will be free because we will only be staying one night. I'm excited to go because I will get to see the Atlanta Braves. I really don't like the Braves, but they have some good players and some good pitchers so I hope they don't get hurt between now and then.

We went and washed our Xterra today even though it was going to rain today (haven't seen a drop yet!) We took some pictures (I told you I would) and put them in our photo album so take a look. There is even one with Braydon being silly.

Long Time, No Post!!!

We have had a busy week and I have not been able to post anything for the last week or so. It was Spring Break here and NAU so we decided to go up to Utah and Surprise my dad for a Surprise 50th (YES, he is that OLD!!!) birthday party. That was really our only reason to go. I was just glad that my Spring Break landed how it was so everything worked out without a hitch.

While we were up there, we decided to have birthday parties for Braydon. It is about a month away from his birthday but he wanted to have a party with all his cousins and Grandparents.

We did add 4 new photo albums which are:
1. Dad's Surprise 50th B-day
2. Braydon's 4th B-day with Moore's
3. Playing at the Moore's
4. Braydon's 4th B-day with Rogers

Sorry that it's not very detailed but I need to relax from out drive and get back into our sleeping/waking up pattern.

P.S. We also ended up trading in our Toyota Pickup for a 2001 Nissan Xterra

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

YES, I know it's March but this week we got our 1st snow of the year. It started Thursday Night and has not stopped since(it's now Sunday afternoon). It was so bad this morning that church was cancelled. I went out to start shoveling us out this morning when Katie got a call that said church was cancelled. I was glad that I finished so later this evening/early Monday morning, getting out will be a lot easier. Braydon got in his snow gear and played for a while in the snow. His checks and hands were just red when he came in but loved every second of it.

Yesterday, we celebrated Katie's birthday. We went to shopping so Braydon and I could get our presents for her. Braydon got her a Cocomotion. It's a hot chocolate maker that heats and mixes your hot chocolate. We tested it out yesterday and this morning and makes some great Hot Coco. I bought her a Smoothie maker. It makes some good smoothie's because we just HAD to test it out also. We then went to Red Lobster for lunch and had some good seafood(our favorite).
We did add two new photo albums of our weekend so feel free to take a peek!!

You Using Your Whole Fist, Doc?

We just took our Toyota truck to the dealership to get the steering fixed because of a recall on a part. We've also noticed a oil leak coming from the front of the engine so I wanted them to take a look while it was in the shop. I was expecting it to be a seal or o-ring problem (which it was) and it would cost $100-$200. I just about died when the guy from the dealership called and said it was the o-ring and seal and the total cost was going to be $350.

Yes, I crapped my pants!!!

Yes, I feel like I bent over and took it up.....(you know the rest)!!!

I knew it had to be fixed and I don't have the means or time to do it myself so I had them finish the job. When I went to pay, I got the receipt and looked it over to see if the o-ring or seal were made out of gold. They were not, just plain rubber and steel. The total for these little parts was around $30. The rest of the bill was labor, $320 worth of labor. I could not believe that.

With all of that, I might have to change professions. I mean, I'm guessing it took 4 hours to fix it, so the mechanic is making $80/hour. As a physical therapist, I will only make around $25/hour.

Enough of the complaining, my friend and I put a new radio/cd player in my truck. It took us about 3 hours to do it because we needed to figure out what wires went to what. We had it working the all the bells and whistles and then when we went to mount it in, it stopped working so we checked all the wires again and it was dead. We didn't do anything to the power wire to make it stop giving power to the radio. If anybody out there has any ideas, please let me know.

P.S. the title is in reference to Fletch if you didn't catch it the first time!!!
