Well it has been a little while since posting. It has been an ok month so far. I am not going to Montana for Christmas which is sad, but I have to look on the bright side. I will be here in Logan where I can do whatever I need to do. Plus, my client won't be alone on Christmas. We are hoping to go out for breakfast Christmas morning but we shall see if anything is open. I have a tree up. My friends Glade and Nicole came a couple weeks ago and got me a tree and put it up. The brought the decorations but I decorated it. They are very nice friends. I guess they didn't want me to be a scrooge. Maybe my frozen, black, rotted heart will pinken up a bit and thaw some. We shall see. :)

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!

Fun Weekend

Well, this weekend in Montana has been fun. The first night Cole wasn't so sure about us. You would think he would be used to me, but I guess used to and liking someone are two different things. Now, several days later, he just crawls everywhere and loves playing with Tristan, Tucker, and Tate.

It is going to be hard to go back to Utah. I guess I need to decide what to do with life. Not so sure I want to stay there, but don't know where else to go yet. Maybe Kansas City, MO. Even better I may go to some tropical place and live on the beach. The only problem with that is if little critters start attacking. If they fly or crawl or anything, that is just nasty.

Today I got the joy of feeding and watering the dogs. It was one of those things that dad asked and I tried to say no, but how could I. Although when it came to cleaning up the dog turds, that was definitely a "NO". Sorry dad but I will let you do that. :)

This is Cassi holding Tate and Tony holding Cole. They are playing a game on the computer. I think the little guys are having fun.

Aunt Marci and her real "Little" men. They are cute. Little Tate was snoozing away though. He missed the Kodak moment. Cole made up for it though. Look at that smile.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Things have been pretty good here in Montana. It has been nice to be with everyone. It is hard sometimes to always be the odd one out, but I guess it ultimately doesn't matter. It is just a good thing to be with the whole family. Usually only happens once a year so this is good. My parents seem to be enjoying having everyone here. All 4 boys are really enjoying spending time together. We celebrated our Thanksgiving on Saturday, November 29th. The food was good. The company was even better. I made 4 of the 5 pies. That is my job every year. Billy, Cassi, mom, and dad made the rest of the food. Of course there was football on tv so we got the joys of watching that. Well at least some football. Dad went and got some Christmas decorations out. He put some of them up. The older grandsons enjoyed helping him. They love spending time with grandpa.

I was hoping to get a normal picture, but Tristan and Tucker can't seem to be serious. But hey, they wouldn't be them if they were serious.

Me and my little men

Me, Tucker, Cole, Tate, and Tristan on our family Thanksgiving Day. They are the cutest and most awesome little boys.

Montana

I had the opportunity to go to Deer Lodge Montana today. I was supposed to go to on Friday with Tony, Amanda, and Cole. However; a friend/co-worker and her husband (Margaret and Bill Dickson) were driving right past so they offered to take me. I was all over that idea. I told mom and she told dad. However; we didn't tell Billy, Cassi, Tristan, Tucker, and Tate. So when we got here we stopped at a gas station and my parents were there with my little men. At first when they saw me it was like hi Aunt Marci. Then they came running over and gave me a hug. The did a double take. It was classic. I'm so glad we didn't tell them ahead of time. Then we went to Billy and Cassi's. Tristan said, we brought a treat for you. I walked in. they were surprised to see me but seemed excited. I got to see my little Tate. He is 18 lbs. So he is not so little. It is hard not getting to see him grow up. But I am going to take advantage of the times I get to see him and the other two boys. It is nice to have my little Cole man in Logan so I can see him fairly regularly. I don't get to see him as often as I would like, but Tony and Amanda are always on the go and I am either at work or at home. Yes I am a hermit. Trying to be better about that, but man I have been tired lately so home is not only where my heart is but also where my whole body is. :) I will definately have to add more as the weekend goes on. I will also try and add pictures of my cute little men. I guess I can't call them my "little" men anymore. Tristan is 7 but looks like a 9 year old. Tucker is 5 but looks 7. Tate and Cole are still little though. They are all cute, just like their favorite aunt. (if you were wondering that aunt is me). I remind them all the time I am the favorite.

One of many thing I enjoy doing is riding a bike. This is Billy's bike. The picture was taken about a year ago. For some reason people don't trust me on the bike, but I'm not bad at driving it.

Well, I figure no way to introduce myself on this blog than to show my true colors. What can I say, if I were normal then people would think something was wrong with me.
