February.

It's been awhile since I've written in our family blog, but school has been so crazy and time consuming I just haven't found the time or desire. Right now Jake is reading his comic book version of the Book Of Mormon to Max as he attempts to brush his own teeth. He loves when I bring out his tooth brush, I guess it feels really good on his gums. Tomorrow is Presidents Day and I'm glad we have the day off from school. Mostly so I can get some school work done and take a little time to relax before my test in my Hearing Disorders class on Wed. That will be the 3rd test since I've had since last Wed. I guess 15 credit hours will wear you out!

Valentine's Day was really mellow for us. Jake had class and I had to study for school so we didn't make it out Monday night. We did exchange gifts. He got me a little pink IPod shuffle. I like the shuffles cause there isn't too much music that I really enjoy so it works out for me. I gave him a funny little card to open up Monday morning and then had a pizza delivered to his work for him to enjoy at lunch. It was a pleasant surprise.

Jake wanted to make dinner this evening. We choose Tamale Pie since we already had all the ingredients for it. It didn't turn out very well and nobody ate it, it went down the garbage disposal. I hate wasting all that food. So looks like our Sunday dinner will consist of leftovers and cereal. Max is still not walking. He can do it, but chooses not to. I guess that's just his stubborn personality shining through. Last night we went to California Pizza Kitchen with Grandma Mary. Max liked watching all the people in the crowded restaurant get up and walk away then come back. That place is expensive and overrated, I don't think I'll be going back for a long time.

We realized how funny little Max is today while we were in church. During Sunday School he kept smiling at all the people and going over and greeting them. I'm just glad he's a friendly little guy. Apparently he was the main entertainment during Priesthood.
