Excited for Fall

Things have been crazy busy around here, as usual. I'm really excited that fall is finally here. This is my favorite time of year. Both kids were fall babies, and Nathan and I got married in the fall. The weather is finally starting to cool off a little. Looking forward for the mountains to change colors. About the kids....well, they have both been sick. Levi just got over an ear infection...just in time for Amelia to get sick with a cold and ear infection. Both kids have snotty noses and are coughing all day long, no fun when one is sick and definently no fun when they are both sick. Levi has officially started walking. He took some steps in August, but now is walking all of the time. He still crawls when he wants to go fast, but is definently walking a lot more. Amelia is loving preschool so far. I kind of wonder if she is still too young for it sometimes, but I'm going to stick with it I think. She has her big birthday party coming up on the 26th at "My Gym". It should be a lot of fun for her. Nathan spent 3 days putting together the swingset we bought for Amelia. It was a big job. She keeps telling us she "loves her park". My mom and dad are traveling out here from Ohio the day after Amelia's birthday to spend some time with the kids. My mom is staying for 3 whole weeks. I'm really looking forward to their visit.

I've done it...I've started a family blog!!!

I've been wanting to start this blog for sometime now. I want family and friends (especially those that live away in Utah or Florida) to be able to keep tabs on our lives.
So, as for our lives...we are doing really well. Our cute drama queen Amelia is starting preschool tomorrow! We can't beleive she is almost 3!!! She is so excited though. She won't stop talking about going to school and her new teacher Ms. Stephanie. She will just be going two times a week for a few hours. Our macho man, Levi, is always keeping us on our toes. He's 10 months old now and took his first steps last week. That doesn't really mean he is walking quite yet. He still prefers to crawl most of the time, which is fine with me. I would have to say his favorite thing to do is to escape from me and climb up the stair. I've always got to keep my watchful eye on that little one.
Tomorrow, August 31st, is my 29th birthday. I'm kinda saddened by this birthday. It's my last "20's" birthday. I really don't want to turn 30 and get older. I don't feel 30 at all!!! I'm sure everyone says that. I really feel like I've accomplished a lot in my 29 years, and I'm anxious and excited to continue to do and try more things. My next major goal is to attend graduate school and become a nurse practitioner. I'm thinking about applying for the Spring of 2010, I know, that is a long ways away, but it is a goal in my mind.
