Hey

Hey everyone. Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. The kids have been sick since Christmas. Caleb has been on 2 different antibiotics in the past 2 months. Zachary is now on his first one now. I am fine and Nick is fine. Right now he is "laid off" until sometime in March hopefully. They didn't have anywhere else to dig at the time so they let off the last man hired until sometime in March or when they get another place to dig. So we are just trying to hang in there. We love everyone and miss you alot. The kids ask me all the time when are we going back to grandpas. I am trying to plan a trip out there this summer but I will have to wait and see how Nicks job status goes. I will keep you all updated. Please pray for us that the lord will help us and keep us in his care as we go through the same thing that millions of people are going through right now.



LOVE YA,
Steph, Nick, & the kids

A Quick Update!

Sorry I haven't keep up with the blog very well. We are all sick here except for Nick. He is at work. Other then that we are doing great. I am sorry that I haven't keep up with everyone very well. I am going to work on that this year. I love ya"ll and will post more later.

The Twilight Books!!

Well I have finished the first and the second book. I love these books. I haven't had the chance to get the second book yet. We are in the middle of Nick changing rigs right now so we are tight on money. I can't wait until I can get the third book though. I am dying to read them again. It has been 4 days since I finished the second book. I will just have to wait. I posted this just for you Tiff. Sorry I haven't posted more I have been pretty busy around here. I love ya .

Twilight

OK so I saw how much that Tiff and Nikki talked about this series so I went and bought the first book in the series. They were so right. I can't hardly put this book down which is not a smart move on my part with a 4 year old and a 2 year old. I read when Zachary takes a nap while Caleb is at school. I also read it waiting to pick Caleb up from school and after I put the kids to bed. I can't wait to finish this book so that I can start the second one. I am so excited about the show coming out. I can't wait.I just want to say think you to my sisters for talking about it and getting me curious.

The trip to the Dentist!

Ok so yesterday Caleb had to go to the dentist to get a small cavity filled. I was more nervous then he was. But I didn't tell him either what the dentist was going to be doing. His first trip to the dentist went so well I didn't want him to think bad about going there. The people are so nice there. I had to bring Zachary too and Caleb wanted me to go in the room with him. Well the dentist came in and showed Caleb the tool that he would be using on his tooth. They didn't have to numb his mouth cause it was to small and they didn't have to do a whole lot. Well needless to say it took a total of maybe 10 min. at the most to fill his tooth. Caleb told me that it tickled and that it tasted very nasty. I tried not to laugh. He got a toy plane and a toy soldier from the dentist office for being so good. Zachary got the same toys as Caleb did too.

Well here we go again.

Alright. I just wanted to post and let everyone know what is going on here. We are expected to get Tropical Storm force winds which is 30-60 mph winds with gusts up to 74-80 mph. I am probably going to go to Nick's grandmothers house again. I just wanted to let everyone know what my plans were. I was hoping that we wouldn't get anything but it changed. I love ya'll and will keep you posted as I can. They are expecting that we are going to lose lights. I will keep in touch by phone when I can.

So far so good

Well so far it looks like Ike is going to Hit southern Texas. I know it sounds bad but I am so relieved. I pray that it won't be as bad as they are saying it is going to be.
