Oreos, and my giggly boy.

I love oreos way too much- I have no self control... For valentines day I told Ryan that I really wanted some oreos. I went through the bag in like 3 days. So the other day, Ryan bought me some more, and I'm trying really hard to show restraint, and limit it to one cookie a day. Tuesday i was really good, and yesterday... well, I got carried away (I was bored, and Ryan was gone skiing). Today i've only had one, but i'm dying to go get another...seriously I'm pathetic. Ryan is the kind of person who will save his candy or cookies or whatever it is for days, and nibble on them here and there. I just can't do it.


Here is a cute video of Ethan.

We had an earthquake!

This morning right after Ryan left for work, I was lying half asleep in bed and all of a sudden i reallized the bed was shaking and hitting the wall. So, I sat up to se who was shaking the bed and realized that, of course, no one was shaking it. Then I realized that the dresser was also shaking and hitting the wall, and I realized we were having an earthquake. Ryan goes to his Dad's office in the mornings, so I called there to see if they had felt it- after telling them I thought we had an earthquake I thought for sure they thought I was a dork and just imagining it, but later I found out that it was an earthquake. Apparently a 6.3 earthquake hit Wells nevada, and was felt in utah, idaho, nevada and california. See, I'm not crazy!! well, at least not on that particalur point.... :)

Ethan being cute

This is a cute video of Ethan I took the other day. He was giggly and having a great time on our bed. I'm a little silly in it, but he brings out my silliness. :)

New Favorite Sites

I added some new sites to my favorite list, you should all check them out. They are art sites for three of the professors I had while I was at BYU-I. One is for Leon Parson, who is an oil painter and I took an oil painting class from him. Brother Parson did the murals for the Rexburg Temple. Brother Franson does computer art (with photoshop and illustrator), he taught several different classes, but I took a design/color class from him. He recently had a children's book published that he wrote and illustrated, and it looks pretty cute. His website has some really fun/interesting illustrations on it. The other artist/teacher was my watercolor and basic drawing teacher- Brother Bird. He retired, but he still does his art and demonstrations. i'm going to add some other sites on art that I like, so feel free to check them out.

I am so grateful to Joan for the heaters she got Ryan last week. I am actually excited to get our gas bill and see how much it goes down. I was so happy to be able to turn the heat completely off and not have to worry so much.

My dad went in for surgery on his knee last week. Unfortunately it didn't work, so he will be going in to Spokane tomorrow to see his doctor, and then he will probably have surgery again on wednesday. Levi hasn't had his surgeries on his feet yet, but he will be having it as soon as they can. My mom and charlie will have to take care of the two invalids for a while. :).

The other day we got our gas bill, and we about had a heartattack. Yesterday I decided to turn the heat off and just use our portable heater, and move it around the house through out the day. We borrowed a small heater from ryan's parents last night and set that up in our room and put the bigger heater in ethans room. Ethan woke up around 5:30 and it was just way too cold! Ethan's room was fine, but ours was freezing- well at least to me. I hate being cold, i don't have much endurance when it comes to that. So I turned the heat back on, and decided that we definately would have to buy several heaters to place around the house.

Ethan is the proud owner of two new teeth, so now he has four on top and four on bottom. :), I'm trying to get him to say something, but he just looks at me like i'm silly, and continues to make his cute noises...
