I had hoped to be feeling better by this weekend, but that didn't happen. On Wednesday, I got a second opinion on my ankle and found out that it was broken. On Thursday, I went to see an orthopedic who said I needed surgery to fix my ankle. On Friday, I had the surgery. I am in a lot of pain, but I am trying to stay positive. Bryan has taken more time off of work to help me. My mom is able to help some too. We have had lots of support from the ward, family and friends. We are so thankful for everyones help.
I think I am going to end my roller derby career. I can't handle another injury like this one. I miss being able to play with the boys and do the simple things. I will just have to find a safer hobby. I am hoping the recovery will go well. I am doing everything I can to make sure that the doctor's orders are followed. I go back this coming Friday. I hope he has some good news for me.

Life just keeps getting crazier
Well, I was hoping for a better March, but that isn't what we are getting. I sprained my ankle two Sunday's ago, so things are pretty crazy around here. Last week, Bryan took off as much work as he could to help me out. The Relief Society was called in too because I couldn't do much of anything. Bryan was swamped with work, on call and now having to do my work plus his own. It was a very stressful week for us all. To make matters worse, everyone got the stomach bug.
This week is starting out better. I am more mobile now, even though I am still on crutches. Everyone is over the stomach bug, so we are back on real food. Bryan is not on call this week, so that makes things better. We are just taking things a day at a time right now. Hopefully by the end of this week my ankle will start feeling better. I would like to be walking soon. I really miss being able to do things on my own.

A new month
Well, since February was such a crazy month we are hoping that March will be much better. So far we haven't started great. Bryan and I are both sick...again. Bryan has also been working late most nights. I am getting ready to start my 3rd seminar for graduate school. There is a ton of reading for this one, so I have started early. I am also tutoring a women in Algebra II. In one week, we have pulled up grade up from a D to a C. I am hoping over the next two weeks to pull her up to a B. She also would like me to start tutoring her son in Algebra. I start roller derby practice this coming Sunday. I am very excited to start this new sport. Marcus is slowly getting more interested in the potty. I am hoping this will pick up, and he will actually start using the potty. Christopher is starting to talk more. It is so cute to hear him. I think I let him watch too much Dora and Kilan though. Some of what he says sounds like Spanish, Chinese or a mix of the two. This weekend will be filled with lots of rest for Bryan and me. I am hoping we will be better for next week.

I'm back
My mother-in-law mentioned that I needed to update my blog. So I am here to update everyone on the status of my wonderful family.
Bryan is working really hard. He got a new boss a couple weeks ago, and the new guy is keeping him super busy. Bryan's company sees how great he is at programming, so hopefully that will mean a big raise for him. Bryan has been working so hard for the IT department. I am so proud of the work he has been doing.
Marcus is growing up way too fast. He is still not potty trained, but I am hoping to have that done by the summer. Marcus is really into trains, so we spend lots of time playing trains. He is really smart and picks up things very quickly. He is in Sunbeams right now, and I am so proud at how well he is doing. I can't believe that he will start school soon.
Christopher is a stinker. He is starting to talk more and began walking a few months ago. He wants to be just like his big brother, so Marcus has a shadow most of the day. Christopher is becoming a picky eater. He does not eat much meat. It really makes feeding him interesting. I am hoping this is just a phase because making two different dinners is no fun and I worry about him not eating.
I am working hard on at school. I am about to finish my second seminar. I only have four more to go before I graduate. I can't believe how quickly this is going by. I start my scoring tonight. It is going to be difficult adding on the work, but I absolutely love to score standardized tests. I am starting training soon to be a roller derby girl. I ordered my gear yesterday, and I should start training either next week or the week after. I am very excited because I have wanted to try this for a while. I haven't skated in a long time, so it will be awhile before I make one of the Charlotte teams. My goal is to make a team by next year though.
Things are always busy here. It has been a challenging first couple months of 2010, but I am hoping that the rest of the year is better. We are working very hard to make things better.

My Big Contest
My favorite cousin, Lisa, held a contest, and I won. It was a ton of fun, and I just have to pass it on.
I am now doing the same contest for all of my friends and family. To enter into the contest you have to leave a comment. Everyone that leaves a comment will be put into the drawing. On April 30th, I will draw five names, and those five people will receive a prize. This prize will be something that I have made. No guarantees that it will be useful or even something you want or like, but it will be something I made. The big catch is that the five people that win have to do this contest on their blogs.
Good Luck to everyone.
If you don't have a blog, please feel free to enter. If you win then you can do the contest through email, myspace, facebook or however you talk with your friends and family.

We are still alive
It has been far too long since I have updated. Things continue to stay busy here. We bought my in-laws house in March. It is so wonderful to be out of a small apartment. The boys love all of the room. Marcus is enjoying being able to play in the yard. We were also finally able to take my dog from my parents house. She is now enjoying being indoors and having the boys to play with. Here is a quick run down of what is going on in everyone's life.
Marcus is a terrible two-a-saurus. He does quite a bit of fussing now, and we are all trying to deal with it the best we can. He is really into dinosaurs. For Easter, he got a kids picnic table with dinosaurs painted on it. Marcus is talking a lot more. He is even remembering a lot more now. Yesterday, he was able to tell me all about eating cake with Aunt CiCi on Easter. It was really cute, and I am proud of him.
Christopher is growing up way to fast. He is almost as tall as Marcus, and he is a mover. He isn't crawling, but he does a scoot/flip around thing that moves him all over the floor. He as also started standing up in his pack'n'play. Today he walked around it holding onto the edges. I have a feeling he is going to be a walker soon. Christopher has been doing well in his helmet. It has been about two and a half months, and there has been a lot of growth in the right areas. He still needs a little more growth on his leftside, and his ears need to shift a little more. I am hoping he'll be out of the helmet by the end of May.
Bryan is working very hard. He is doing a lot of programming stuff at work. The good part is that he is able to work from home, so we get to see him more. We are hoping this will lead to a job offer, but for now we are just waiting.
I am keeping very busy. I am staying home with the boys during the day and working from home at night. I started competitive running two months ago. I finished my first 4 mile race in one hour and five minutes. I have my second race, a 5K, tomorrow. I am still trying to get the house unpacked and set up. I had to take a month off while I tried working outside of the home. We all agreed everything runs better when I am at home. The boys are enjoying too because I am cooking and baking a lot more.
That is all that is going on around here. I will try to update weekly.
