Well I haven't written in a while, mostly because things have been pretty uneventful.  I have a final exam in one of my classes this coming Friday.  I should be pretty prepared for it since I already took a state administered exam on the same subject matter, but I'm going to have to work pretty hard to get caught back up with it.

I've solidified my position with the Gem County Prosecutor.  I'll be working in Emmett this summer for the Gem County Prosecutor's Office.  They are actually going to let me convict criminals and all that fun stuff.  I can't wait!  (*as the theme song from cops plays in my head)  Now I have to apply for a limited license to practice law.  Seems like the tasks are never ending.

Kaydence and Soren are a little sick right now.  We decided to keep them home from church today since we don't want to give all the other little kids in church runny noses and nasty coughs.  Katy went to church, but I stayed home.  That's why I have a chance to write on my blog.

Kaydence and I went with my friend Dinko to Lewiston yesterday to go gun shopping.  He was looking for a new shotgun so that he can go turkey hunting this fall, he got a really good deal on one at a pawn shop.  Kaydence likes going with me, but she can be such a handful.  She was pretty good for the most part, but sometimes she forgets to be good.  I can tell you one thing, taking care of one kid is MORE than twice as easy as taking care of the two together.  Its as if they feed off each other.  They get together and they get louder and louder, and rowdier and rowdier, and naughtier and naughtier.  But when they aren't around each other they can be little angels.  

Today they aren't so rowdy though because they don't feel good.  Kaydence fell asleep on the couch watching Smurfs, and Soren just lazed around until I finally put him in his bed for a nap.  

Well, Katy just walked in the door from church, and I'm out of things to say, so until next time.

Its late, and I should be in bed, so I can get up early and do my homework, but I can't help but sit down and mess around on the computer.

Last week was my spring break and I had a great time.  We started it out by dropping our kids off at the baby sitters for a couple hours and then my wife and I went shooting with my friend Dinko.  It was Katy's first time ever shooting and she was awesome!  She made me look bad though since I'm supposed to be the shooter in the family.  Here is a picture of her showing off her new found skills. (she says she looks like me though since she's wearing my jacket)



A couple days later we took off for Emmett and spent the rest of the break hanging out with my family.  Here is Kaydence sleeping in an awkward position on the way there.  Everyone in the car was sleeping.  Katy wasn't too impressed when she woke up and saw that I took a picture of Kaydence while driving. :)



We hung out with Lindsey and Derek most of the time and played wii.  One day we went to the YMCA and took the kids swimming in their big indoor swimming pool.  We also took Lindsey and Derek shooting.  Here are some pictures of that. (sorry for the quality of my photos, we didn't have our camera so I used my phone camera.)

Look at Derek, he's a natural.
Lindsey shot the AR-15 Amazingly well.

Well I could write more, but I'm terribly tired.  To make a long story short, I'm back at school now with all the stresses that go along with it.  Hope all of you are well.
