This blog site is not in order. I'm terrible at doing this kind of thing, but trying to do better. Here is Bryce and Alice on our front lawn at our new home in Othello, WA. This is a big change for us and I think it is going to take a little while to adjust. Mark graduated from dental school this past summer and we thought we were going to go to Arizona. Things didn't work out there and Mark came across this opportunity here in Othello at their community health clinic. He is enjoying his job, which keeps him very busy. He works four 10 hour days and then I am working as a pharmacist on his day off. It is fun to be home more, but also challenging. Mostly because this is a really small town and I haven't exactly figured out what there is for us to do here. Also it has been really cold so we haven't been able to get outside much these past few months. I'm excited for nicer weather so we can play more and enjoy the sunshine! Bryce loves having more room to run around and play and we enjoy having our own home. Mark has committed to a three year contract and then who knows where we'll end up. I'm still hoping for Arizona. The saving grace for me has been that Othello does have a gym so I am able to at least stay healthy. I have to get up at 4:30-4:45am to work out before Mark goes into work so that is a daily challenge. But, I'm doing it and it is nice to get an early jump on the day. Currently I'm training for a marathon in April. I'm going to run with my sister in-law Katy and I think Harlow is also going to run with us. We decided last minute so we will only have 3 &1/2 months to train. I was proud of myself because this past Saturday I was suppose to run 18 miles and we had a ward temple session at 9:30 so I had to get up again at 4:30am to get my run in because I knew I wouldn't do it when I got home. I ran the 18 miles in 2 hrs 15 minutes and got a few nice blisters, but I did it. The only bad part is that it has been really cold so I'm doing all my training on a treadmill. We'll see how it goes. Bryce is doing great and is all boy. He is such a great big brother to Alice and plays very nice with her, which we are grateful for. He loves Star Wars and could play light sabers, guns, or wrestle all day long. He loves when his dad comes home because he is a better wrestler then mom. Bryce is quick to tell you he loves you especially if he knows he just did something he wasn't suppose to, but either way it is nice to hear. Alice is getting so big so fast. She is full of spunk and estrogen! It's amazing how different they both are. Alice loves to have your attention and lets you know if she feels she is not getting enough of it. She is quick to smile and loves to play and be involved in whatever your doing. She gets into everything! The other day she took out all the lids from the bottom drawer and then climbed into the drawer and took a seat. She has also learned to climb onto the kitchen table, which really isn't a good thing. She keeps us on our toes. Mark is very busy with work, but has enjoyed being done with school. He is an amazing father and husband, we are very lucky. Well hopefully I will start to do better at this posting stuff, but no promises!

This is my going away party my co-workers had for me. We went bowling and had a great time. I was amazing, I'm the "R" at the top and as you can see my score was 184!!, which was amazing and I beat everyone! I guess that should be the case since it was MY PARTY! I will miss all my wonderful co-workers at Bartell's they were wonderful and fun to work with and I was sad to leave. I'm grateful for their continually willingness to work with my changing schedule as we had Bryce and Alice. I couldn't have asked for a better boss or fun people to work with. Thank you all for the great memories!
This was us at our ward Halloween party. Alice won a pumpkin for her costume. She tried to carry it out with her but she wasn't quite strong enough. Maybe next year! Bryce didn't want to wear his costume and I could hardly talk him into even wearing his cape. Mark was out of town hunting with my dad so he missed out on all the fun!
How does she get herself into these situations? Here is Alice under the stroller, why you ask, good question! She started crying and this is how we found her! She is always curious and keeps us on our toes. We honestly have no idea how she got into that little space, but once she got there she couldn't get out!
