The Ocean!

     
        No we did not go to the ocean this week.  Taylor, however, thinks that we did :)  We went to Bear Lake with a bunch of my family this week and we kept telling her it was the lake and she kept replying (with arms spread wide open, head tipped back) "the ocean"!  Kinda just went with if after a while.

      We have water babies for sure.  It was quite windy and chilly when we first got there and we had to wear jackets for a bit.  Throughout the day that blasted wind kept coming back.  We would go out and play in the water until they were shivering so hard it was like full body convulsions and their lips were purple and then we would drag them in, strip them down, and make them cuddle in towels and blankets till they warmed up.  Did you notice that I said 'drag them in'?  Yeah, even tho they were absolutely freezing they got mad every time we made them go in to warm up, they love the water!

      The only other thing we really had going on this week was Cody starting school.  Yikes! Yay!  Boo!  Yahoo!  We can't really decide how we feel about this yet if you can't tell.  He is getting his Masters in Geology and Monsanto will pay for it so that is absolutely amazing!  Hard to pass up an opportunity like that.   Down side is that he has to drive 50 minutes (in good weather) one way to get to class.  So lots of Daddy hours are being sacrificed for this little escapade.  But he will be an awesome student and hopefully these next 2 years will go by quickly and then he will be graduated, a totally brilliant scholar, and we will be on to more money and time with him :)
