I know it has been a while since I updated this, but I figure since Stacie is on Facebook, everyone is getting updates in real time.
But I promised Evan I would update when I got my grades.
I was really worried that I wouldn’t pass Thremo, since the teacher told me as much.
But drum roll please…. Here are my grades
Mechatronics – B
Thermodynamics – C
Thank you and good night

Sleeping
So Isaac fell asleep at dinner to night. We had been playing outside and the kids had run through the sprinlers and gotten all wet. So after baths and jamies at 6:00 pm we had dinner. Isaac just couldn't stay awake. So of course I took picture and had to post it.
So then I was thinking about how Ari was sleeping the other night, so here is that picture.
So I though I would post some of the pictures of the funny sleeping postioins the kids get into.
Aidan at the table, (we have a few of these) 
Isaac in the crib
Isaac really can sleep anywhere

Happy Birthday Isaac
Happy Birthday Isaac.
Isaac turned three yesterday. It was a kicked back kind of day. Isaac actually slept in.
Three years ago he came to us on time, and as I have said before he came because he decided he need to come and so far he has not shown that his will as lessened at all. He will force he way into what he wants.
Like his brother, he is developing very quickly, he can spell his name and will recognize some numbers. He will even pray without help. We are very blessed to have three very smart children. The problem is we have three very smart children. These are the ones that get bored easily.
Any way.
Happy Birthday Isaac.
We love you very much.
Aidan and Ari got into the celebration too.
A Relaxed Saturday.
The boys just looking at the clouds.
now that the weather has warmed up, for a few days, they are riding and running around like crazy.
I had to work in the garage, I was helping the Cub Scouts get their pinewood derby cars ready, so I brought my computer out. I need to work on my car, so Aidan wanted to work on it too. I know I'm spoiled That i can work on my computer in the garage, but I have to design my derby car, and you know how the saying goes, you might be a mechanical engineer if you have ever used pro-engineer to design a derby car. Now I just need the wind tunnel.

update, again
So let's get up to date.
Stacie has been teaching at Everest now for about a week. She is learning how to teach very quickly.
Aidan is having fun at school. He told me the other night that the reason he wasn’t sleeping was because he was soo excited about going to school the next day.
Isaac can’t wait to start school, he will proudly tell you how to spell his name, and I still can’t get over how well he speaks. He will be one to watch as he learns.
Ari, well what can you say about the princess. She has found her voice, and she uses it very distinctly and loudly.
My school is just there. The tests are killing me and just finding the study time is difficult, but that is how it goes.

I'm the "S" in the D&S...
From an email I sent 2/12:
My job interview is tomorrow at 9 am! I don't even know how I feel about the whole thing - I quit for a reason before & told Tazma "no" for the same reason. But right now, I don't have any direction on this. So, I'm just going to go give it my best shot and see what happens. If the dean likes me, I will have to teach 4-5 other instructors and pass their judgment too. I'm so intimidated.
From 2/13:
My interview went really well this morning. It was only with Terra, the dept chair and my former teacher, as the dean has been ill all week and wasn't "up to interviewing today." Which was good and bad: Terra and I have a good rapport (spelling?) and she wants me there (she keeps turning in my name for various positions). She wants me to teach. Why she thinks I'm qualified, I don't know, as far as experience in the field or with teaching in general. But she taught most of my classes and we both know I am well-trained. So the interview with only her there went really smoothly and we didn't have many questions for each other. However, I really haven't met the dean yet, except when she stuck her head into the office to say hello (they've had several deans since I graduated), and she + 2-3 instructors will be in my mock "class" Tuesday with Terra when I have to teach. The position itself would be enjoyable, rewarding, and doable - no office hours, some prep at home, only teaching at night, etc. And it would help Daniel, which goes without saying, if he only had 1 job. But I still don't know what I'm supposed to do with this. We'll see. And I still feel so intimidated!
Where this came from: A need to let out my thoughts on this.
I have been serving on the Curriculum Advisory Board at Everest College (Mountain West when I was there) since I graduated. This sounds really cool, and is, but mostly it means I attend a meeting once or twice each year when they finally schedule one, and give any input I may have a the time for their current program. I called Terra on Monday to RSVP for the upcoming board meeting and to tell her I was no longer working in the field, and why. She wanted to know if I was going to get another job. I said not in the foreseeable future (most of you know why I quit a job I absolutely loved in the first place and am not looking to replace it). She said she was looking for a new med assisting instructor and suggested I interview if I was interested. Daniel & I talked it over and figured it couldn't hurt to at least interview, have the experience of it, and say no if they offered the job. The classes are only at night so Daniel would be home most of the time I would be gone, and he would only have to work 1 job while going to school instead of 2. And I could teach. For quite some time, I have thought I want to teach, and there, and I know what it would involve. But, since I quit my job for the reasons I quit (and have since turned down the full-time position we prayed for at that same office I left - hence the reference to Tazma - another story), working somewhere -- anywhere -- else might not be a good idea but I can't tell right now. I'm getting nothing except my brain freaking out at the prospect of Tuesday afternoon.
Whew. Thanks for letting me vent. I'm sorry if you actually read all this :) but I had to get it out. I guess I'll just do my best Tuesday and then forget it in the bliss of the anesthesia with surgery Wednesday!

yes we are still alive.
I'm sorry about the lack of posting but since I made the blog private and didn't invite anyone to be able to read no one knew i wasn't posting anyway.
The holidays were great, spent a lot of time with the family, survived a few snowstorms. I found that if you are willing to fix a snow blower, you can make your like easier, for not a lot of money.
School started back up for Aidan and myself. I thing he is doing better than I am with that. Well he is smarter.
I will make our blog private again so if you don't get an invitation please don't be offended and email me and I will get you one.
not much else right now, Ari is upset because she can't get in the tub yet so i'm got to go.
