Update.
I would love to say that because we have been so busy we have a lot to share- but I would kind of be lying!!!
The kids and I have been very busy though- Emily going to Sister Egbert's for Preschool 3 mornings a week- she loves it and is doing well. And Caleb going to "school" AKA Daycare while I am at school. We decided to change daycare- after much unhappiness and disappointment in things that were happening at the last place. We love our new little daycare and the teacher is just wonderful.
The kids and I took our first vacation as our own little family of three. It was the first time in 2 years I have taken them anywhere on my own for an extended period. We had a blast, we went to Salt Lake and went to the ZOO. Caleb loved the animals- and Emily was just in a big hurry to go eat (Pretty typical as of late). Then we went back to our hotel where the kids played in the closet (If I had known it would be so entertaining I would put doors on my own closet...). After a while we decided to Ride TRAX down to the Gateway mall. I think this was the most exciting thing for the kids. Then we walked around Gateway. It was a nice weekend- I think I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Other than that, Life has just been crazy busy with school, and classes, and reading programs etc. I hope all is well with all of you and your families!

Hopes and Wishes
I have really been thinking about hopes and wishes the past couple of days- and what exactly differentiates the two. It always seems that when I wish for something, I know it is unlikely to happen. A wish is something that is out of reach and more than likely unattainable. While when you hope for something there is the possibility that it might happen at some point in life.
I also thought that maybe a hope is something that is more sincere- it seems whenever I am being sarcastic or whatever I will "wish" for something...Like wishing my children would quit talking- Of course I want them to talk and would be worried about them not talking...but silence is golden...Wishes also seem to accompany regret- (I wish I never had....) or accompany not good feelings- (I wish I would loose weight) So you could say that "hopes" are a positive desire.
So here are some of my "hopes" instead of wishes....
1. I hope that my children will come to know and have a father in their lives- someone who will teach them about the Gospel and show them what a blessing a father with the priesthood can be.
2. I hope my children's father will eventually come to realize his potential and will live up to it.
3. I hope for happiness- for days without un-needed stress and with much needed laughter
4. I hope that I can be a good example for my children- that I will be able to show them how to love each other and be kind to all those they meet.
