Well are back in the Antarctic! Well at least is has felt like it the last couple of days! Today was a high of I think 4 degrees, and this morning it was -13! That's just craziness! But all in all it's nice to be back, but I am missing my peeps in CA! Just as you meet great friends, they are ripped from you! But that's the life of college students! We had an uneventful trip back home (thank goodness) with great roads the whole way! But wow does Rexburg have a lot of snow!! It's still surreal that were here though. It sure doesn't take long to get used to no homework and only work! But we will have to worry about school work for a bit longer!

I never took my ACT test while in High school so six years later, I knew that I wanted to go back to school. That was the first step towards getting there so I scheduled it that day for December so I couldn't re-think it! Well for 6 years out of high school, I did pretty good! Now I'm in the process of applying for here at BYU-Idaho. I will only be able to get probably a semester in but I guess I can always transfer. I'm hoping to eventually do Dental Hygiene! That's my goal anyways!

The boys are doing great! Keenan has become a wrestler and loves to jump off of things, do summer salts, run back and forth across the room laughing, and getting the toys out over and over again! He still doesn't talk much, but he's trying! He has just started saying "NO" for everything! Even if he does want something. It has been a struggle to get him back on a schedule but it's coming along. He is pretty much to the point where he doesn't take naps anymore! I hate this part!

Damon is starting pre-school again next week and I'm so excited for him! he will have a new aid and I'm so excited for a change! His teachers are so good with him! They have missed him while we were away in CA. Therapy starts up next week for him also so it's starting to get bust once again. I'm hoping that he hasn't gotten too far behind after being off for 3 months. He is scheduled to get Botox again in March so that will be good for him. We are planning on going to the convention again this year for Foundation for Children with Microcephaly. We had such a great time last year we can't miss it again! www.childrenwithmicro.org Damon is featured in the calender as our Mr.August in their calender they are selling as a fundraiser. He is also on the website as one of the children, and on the brochure, and on the shining stars brochure! He is just too cute not too I guess! He is an amazing child, and we love him so much!

Juan is back at school and taking another full load! 15.5 credits, about 6 classes. So he's busy with that! But this is our final year here in Rexburg, and that is including doing an internship sometime, somewhere also! So were on the last leg of school. He will have 2 semesters of school, and one internship left after this semester. I don't know where we would be, or what we would be doing, if we hadn't decided to move here 2 years ago. Amazing experiences, amazing friends, and all around a constant party! WE love it it here, but will be ready for the next chapter in our lives!

I'm trying to keep everything under control at home, keeping up with everyone! I'm staying busy with that, working out, eating WAY better after the holidays, and cleaning up after Keenan all day! Other then that! Life if great! Were alive and well!
