Our internet is working for half a second so I thought I would put a few quick thoughts down on what's been going on lately... which really hasn't been much.
First off two of my friends have had their babies with in last 2 weeks which is pretty exciting. Being around a little baby pushes the date will start planning on child number two to much further away.
Reese has been walking around like a mad woman lately. She started taking her first steps just a few days before she turned ten months and now she walks more than she crawls... it blows me away how fast she learned.
We really haven't been up to much lately... still just working and trudging through day by day. We really need to get up to Idaho Falls and start the apartment hunt, it's so hard to find the time to get up there since it will probably end up taking a full day. I hate moving and I hate the thought of having to look for a new job... I'm praying that I can just transfer. Our schedule works out great for us right now it stinks to have to adjust to something new. Hopefully by the next time I blog we will have found a place to live. Well I need to go grocery shopping... sorry so short just wanted to let you all know that we are still alive...

Happy Day After Halloween...
Hey everyone it's been less than a month since I posted last. So Todd and his brother Thomas are home watching the Jazz game so I decided to head out and update my blog (even though it's only been a couple days). I wanted to get out of the house and the boys are watching the baby so it was perfect -- and it's nice to be here at the school by myself, usually when Todd is here I feel like I have to hurry so he isn't waiting too long while I update my blog. So yesterday for Halloween we went down to Downey once I got off work, Grandma Z really wanted to see Reese in her costume. So we all went together to the ward Trunk or Treat (brilliant person who ever thought this up). Grandma Z had a blast taking her around (even it was more like showing her off to all her friends in the community). Yes I know Reese is a little young to understand what she was doing and obviously she isn't going to be eating the candy she collected - but it's all about giving her experiences. 
As you can see she was more intrigued by the decorations than the actual candy collecting. Todd kept joking about her using a decapitated Elmo head to collect her candy -- we probably should have found a cookie jar - that would have been more appropriate for her costume.
Reese really was just along for the ride, while Grandma Z got the goods.
Happy Halloween!! We don't take very many family pictures and even though it was at the end of the night - we snapped one anyways. Todd doesn't exactly have the most thrilled expression on his face - but he had fun don't let him fool ya!
Reese got to play with Grandma's kitties. I think this was the first time she didn't try to pull their hair out - she actually played a little softer with them.
Mmmmm cupcakes!! It started out just giving her little bites and before you know it she was helping herself.
After we left Downey we headed back to Pocatello and went to watch a scary movie at Amanda and Shawn's. It actually wasn't scary at all (Prom Night -worst, most predictable movie ever). It took us like 3 hours to watch the movie - we kept stopping it to take care of the baby, or to take the dogs in and out, some friends stopped by for a visit and other various things.. but we did finally finish it --- so all that probably didn't help when we were trying to get scared by the movie.
Not much planned in the upcoming week... on Tuesday Reese has to get her flu shot, Wednesday Todd's band is playing a show (but I'll miss it because I have a managers conference for work during the same time). So not really exciting at all!!
