Remember that one time when I used to blog? Yeah. Good times. We Russells are still alive. Things have been good lately. We've just been living life. We celebrated Valentine's day by going to see Avatar (we loved Sherlock Holmes more) and I was surprised with lovely red roses. We also recently celebrated our 4th anniversary. Whaaaa? That is a while. But it also feels like that is about accurate. We've been through a lot together. We celebrated that day by heading out to Youth Conference with the youth in our ward. Woo doggy!! Soooo romantic. :) Randon still scored some points though by giving me a nice framed picture of Christ, which I love. The first night of youth conference (our anniversary) the bishop came up to us and asked if it was truly our anniversary and thanked us for coming and said he would love it if we would stay in the room upstairs together. (None of the other married couples there were sleeping together.) Well, suuuure! Haha...it was kind of funny. But we had a great time there. At the youth conference. Not in the room. Hahaha. Anyway.... What else is new....
I'm so excited for Randon. He worked really hard to be accepted for this scholarship/grant that the church awards. They are paying for his flight training to become current again. I'm just so excited! He is going to be super busy heading straight to the airport after work, but I'm so glad its for something he loves. I've never been flying with him. It's so weird to think that I haven't seen him do something that was such a big part of his life. I can't wait. Actually to be honest, I've had a few nightmares about flying with him. Haha. I really hope thats not an indication of things to come.
Easton. Oh, little Easton. I don't even know what to say about that love of mine. He has refined the talent of being naughty. On purpose. With an evil little smirk. And then he'll come up and say, "Sorry mama, I didn't mean to!" Um, yes. Actually I'm pretty sure you purposely whacked my knee with that block and smeared yogurt all over yourself and the counter. The things he says are just so random and funny. "I just need to use that for while." Okay then. I love that he says "yes" instead of "yeah". Did you make that mess? "Yes." Are you poopy? "Yes." Get down! You can't play with those! "YESSSS!" He LOVES the TV show Phineas and Ferb. We aren't really sure why as it is a show aimed for older children. It's actually pretty funny. Easton loves to grab the "rock and roll" (the rock band guitar) and sing all about Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb. I love him. He still has the ability to make me smile in any situation. Aside from the moments of naughtiness, he is a very sweet, loving boy. He has come up with his own special names for the fam..."Dammy Dams" for grandma, "Pappy Poo" for grandpa, "Bobes" for Braiden "Mad" for Madison and "Ab" for Abbey. The rest of us get normal names. We are ready for warm weather!!
As for me, I've been keeping my hands busy with crocheting. I sort of LOVE it.
Oh and I broke my baby toe. OUCH.
