Studying for the big exam


Here is Caleb hard at work, studying for his big exam, oh, wait! That's Kaboo hitting the books. I think that Caleb was hoping for the power of telepathy through Kaboo because Kaboo seems to be the only one really studying.

Dress-up time!

Here is Tayce dressed up as a hot chile pepper for Halloween. He wasn't very thrilled with his costume, but he sure makes a cute chile pepper.
Kaya got eaten by a lobster!
Kaboo is one hot dog! As you can tell, he was so excited about the whole trick-or-treating idea!
Here is Tayce all dressed up in his duck robe in the duck bathroom. I "quacked" up when I took the picture

Living in Houston

Tayce and I arrived in Houston last Tuesday. The plane ride went well. Tayce tolerated it just fine. There was a lady sitting behind me when we were getting off the plane that stated, "I didn't know there was a baby. That's what the stewardess kept stopping to smile at." Tayce has been on half the plane rides that I have ever been on and he is just 4 months old! My parents drove the dogs here all the way from Idaho. The dogs didn't do too bad themselves, except Kaya didn't use the bathroom for 24 hours. Now that dog has a bladder! She is such a nervous little thing that the world practicaly has to be silent in order for her to go to the bathroom.

My parents stayed for a couple of days, so we showed them where we plan on living and took a trip out to the temple. We took pictures, but as of now, I don't have a very strong connection, so it would take hours to upload the pictures, but they will be coming soon! Caleb bought a GPS unit, which my parents named Taloula or Taloulou (depending on which one you talk to). She has been a life-saver, especially for me. There have been many times that I have taken a wrong turn and she has gotten me back on the right path. The freeway system down here is very overwhelming for me. First you have to be on the left to get on the right freeway and then in half of a mile you have to be clear on the right. It wouldn't be so bad if there was no one else on the road. I have just decided to stay out in my own little community and let Caleb do all the driving downtown.

As of right now we are renting an unfurnished one-bedroom apartment until we are able to make an offer on the house we want. Unfortunately all of our furniture is back in Idaho, so we have been hanging out on camping chairs and sleeping on an air mattress. Thanks to some good friends, our furniture will soon be on its way! In the meantime we have been enjoying the luxuries of our built in cup holders and luckily we have been able to acquire a wireless signal or I think that we would both go crazy.

I have had a job interview with Cypress-Fairbanks Medical Center. I had an interview with the manager and a peer interview. I believe that both went well. I'm just waiting for a call from Human Resources. If I do get this job, I will have an opportunity to start working in pediatrics and some post-partum, both areas that I have been interested in.

That's about all of our excitement for now. Caleb is studying for his test which will be on Monday right now. Later, Caleb and I plan to go work out at the fitness center in our apartment complex. (Part of the reason is so we can watch The Office on tv.) I guess whatever will motiviate us! Once we get our internet, which should come this Saturday, I will post all of the pictures that have been building up. I hope that won't take me too long to do!

Here's some pictures of Tayce in his late night plotting to torture Nicole!

Here we are watching Sunday Night Football while Nicole is watching a movie on TV! Tayce is just going to love sports like his dad! Then, we decided to take a nap! We were both tired! Actually, these pictures were taken days apart, but all the same, it's great having him here with me in Houston! It's amazing how big he's getting!
Now we just need someone to buy our house so we can live together here permanently!
