Bloggin' Blahs

I've sort of been in a funk lately, I think it must be the winter blahs. It seems like it always hits this time of year, anxious for warmer weather, ready to say goodbye to cold weather and snow. I'm pretty sure we are not out of it yet so I've been trying to take every advantage to get out on the "decent" days with the kids. It's amazing what fresh air does for everyone. Last week we had a really nice day and we were outside playing and Hallie said, "Mom let's get the slip n' slide out!!" She was pretty sad when I told her that 50 degrees wasn't warm enough to get it out. She did however settle for flip-flops and a light jacket.
Here are just random pictures of the girls...

Test....Passed!

We found out last Thursday that Jake passed his test! Yes Yes Yes!!! I felt so relieved when he told me. I can't even imagine how relieved he must feel. Now we just have to wait for his license and then it will all be official. I don't know which is more exciting, the thought of him not having to study anymore or the thought of actually making some money. Anyway life is good and I'm so thankful for all of the ways that our family has been blessed. How greatful I am for the guidance of our Heavenly Father and the help and strength he gives to us as we seek it.
