The Last 4 Weeks or So....PART 1

Chris and I are both going to school full time at University of Phoenix. Chris is going into IT (information technology/computers) and will get his bachelor's degree in software engineering. I am going into elementary education to become a teacher. Chris isn't so thrilled to be doing it, but he's working hard. I, on the other hand, LOVE it!! We are half way through our first set of classes and we are both maintaining a straight A average. :)
Needless, to say, I am VERY busy going to school full time, being a mom full time and now with Chris going to school full time and working full time, it's like I'm a single mom. lol.....So, my blogging has been forgotten about. This post and the next post is a recap of the last month or so. (Note: We are at our halfway mark to finalizing Kayla's adoption!!!!! She's SOOOOO EXCITED to get baptised and get sealed to us.)

I like to take the kids to the hot pot in 12th street canyon, in Ogden. It's a naturally flowing hot pot, just right there in the canyon. Years ago, volunteers, created "pots" out it that you can sit in. Chris and I love to go alone in winter, while the snow is falling. The water is BURNING hot. The river runs right along side of the water and you can add buckets of cold water to get your desired temperature. This time I took Landon and Kayla with me. Korbin and I go while the kids are in school. It's nice. :)

All three kids just adore eachother. Landon and Kayla, especially, are best friends. They love to play with each other and hardly argue. I expected things to be more "contentious" than it has been. The kids just really do love each other.....that's just what siblings do. :)

Here's a cute picture of miss Kayla Maylee. She thought the changing leaves were pretty cool.

I LOVE this picture of Landon. He's such a cute little boy. I LOVE that blondie!

Landon started wrestling this year. He is apart of the Weberbilt team. They are all valley kids, who will eventually attend Weber High School. The valley kids have quite the reputation for being great wrestlers!! We have some state champs from the valley...well...from Liberty. People joke that it should be called "Liberty Wrestling" because most of the kids are Liberty kids. Apparently, it's a huge town event for Liberty!

Landon did a great job. He keeps saying that it is his thing, I think he's right. He must take after his dad. He participated in two wrestling meets. In his very first meet, ever, after a week of practice, he took 4th place. The following week he took 2nd place. He missed his last two meets due to being ill, but he had a great season! :) He LOVES his medals and has them hung prominently on his bedroom wall.
