Wow. It's already been 2 months since my last post. I'm ashamed of myself. I'm sorry for the delay.
Well since the last time I've posted...March 11th....I have officially graduated from BYU-Idaho with a degree in Communications (emphasis in Advertising). It was a very hard last 8 months, but well worth it. Now instead of being a full-time student, wife and mother I can focus on just full-time mother and wife. Hmmm...I've come to find being a full-time mother is a little more challenging mentally than full-time school. In the last few months Isabel has found her voice, and she's been using it. She'll just randomly scream at the top of her lungs, because naturally we look and she get's her attention (now you understand why it can be mentally challenging) We are trying to break her of the habit, by not looking when she screams like that, but it's enough to drive you insane. Some mother's have told me that after awhile you won't even notice the sound, but I'm still adjusting.
Robbie has started his job at Merrill Lawn Sprinklers. They do landscaping and sprinkler systems. He works long days and comes home very dirty, but he's having a good time.
I've now also added part-time secretary to my list of duties. I'm the new secretary at Merrill Lawn Sprinklers (yes, the same place Robbie works). We know the owner and his secretary never showed up, so he asked if I wanted to do it. The best part is I get to bring Isabel with me. She's learned to adjust to her new surroundings very well. She's a great little helper.
Isabel is still growing. Every morning I get her from her bed I tell her to stop growing and be a baby again, but she just smiles and does something new everyday. She just recently grew some teeth. Her two bottom ones. She hadn't really been showing any signs of teething (runny nose, crying, discomfort, restless, etc) but than this past Sunday we noticed them. Yeah! Hopefully the rest will come in the same way these two did, without any sleepless nights or crying and pain (knock on wood).
Well that's our life in a nutshell, so far, I'll post some pictures later this evening.

Hey! So are you guys still here in Rexburg then??!! We will definitely have to get together sometime and take the kids to the park or something when the weather gets better! I totally know what you mean about it being mentally challenging to be a stay at home mom. I went through the same thing at first when I was finished with school. It was like I was constantly busy all the time and then poof, all of a sudden I have nothing to do all day and it definitely took some getting used to, but I have really come to enjoy it! That's really cool that you can take Isabel to work with you, I haven't heard of any place that will let you do that!!
Good luck with the screaming thing. Little Mary is over 3 now and we are still working on it. She did/does the same thing. Just screams for no reason. But I have to admit we are getting a little better but the end isn't here yet:)
