Well I have just totally forgot about our family blog, but I have decided that I love looking at my family and friends blogs to keep up on their lives and I should do the same for those of you that want to follow our lives. We are both in our last year of school and can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. I am in Dental Hygiene School at Dixie State, school and I have a love/hate relationship if you know what I mean. I love being a hygienist but hate the stress and long hours that school brings. We are mainly just in the clinic working on patients and going out into the community and working with the elderly and kids that don't have access to dental care. Ezra is in the secondary teaching program here at Dixie State and has truly found a career he is passionate about. He is doing his weekly practicum at Dixie High, which is just a block from our house and is loving being with the students. Starting in January he will do his student teaching, hopefully at Dixie High as well and graduate in May. He is going to teach High School Biology. We sold our house last month and moved from Hurricane into St. George to be closer to school. We are loving the convenience of being so close to school and everything else. We are looking forward to next summer and moving on with our lives. We aren't sure where we want to end up but neither one of us really cares. I will start taking my board exams in January.... This past weekend my mom and I went up to Salt Lake City, I took her to my sisters in Odgen and I stayed in Salt Lake and attended the Utah Dental Hygienist annual session. I had a great time at the conference but was weexcited to get back to ogden and spend some time with my sister and her cute family. My niece Hallie celebrated her 2nd birthday on Saturday and was just so darn cute. We left sunday morning for home and stopped on the way to see my sister Nic and her family. Her little Rigden is just so darn cute, I can't get enough of him or our sweet Hallie. I can't even imagine our family without them, they bring so much Joy and Laughter. Here are some Pictures of our weekend.

Christmas with the Norr family 2010

Christmas with the Norr's this year but alot of fun, We mainly just hung out, watched movies, and ate. My mom is such a good cook, and she was constantly making something else to feed us. She has had to get used to feeding boys, because they eat alot more thatshe is used to. My parents got us tickets to the white tiger magic show on the strip on Christmas day. It was really entertaining and fun to go do something new.

Mom's surprise Party/ Weekend in Vegas

My sister's and I planned asurprise party for my mom's birthday in November. It was so much fun and so many of her friends came as well as all of her kids except Ezra, he had to stay home adn study. We had my dad take her out to dinner and while they were gone we set up and everybody came over, we surprised her and she was so shocked she had no idea and loved it. We stayed the whole weekend, went to maddy's volleyball game, played cards and jung hung out, It was alot of fun!

Irvin Halloween party 2010

We had a fun costume party at Carra's for halloween. Ate yummy food and visited.

New York Trip 2010

Over semester break in October I surprised Ezra with a trip to New York City for his birthday. We flew in on the red eye on a wednesday night and stayed till sunday night. We never stopped going the whole time we were there. We went to the Met, Museum of Natural history, Empire state building, Rockefeller Center adn Top of the Rock, St. Patricks Cathedral, Wall Street, Ground Zero, Statue of Libery, Battery Park museum and instead of taking the subway or cabs we walked alot so we could find cool spots on the way to the next place. We had so much fun and it was a great break from school. One morning Ezra wanted to sleep in, but I wanted to get out so I headed down to Union square and did some shopping. Such a fun part of the city I loved it and came home with some fun things. We also took the train up to Harrison to see the family I nannied for. It was so good to see them and the girls have grown up so much. Ezra just adored maddi,she is 6 now and a ball of fire. We visited for hours untill the last train was headed into the city. We will for sure go back again soon it was so much fun.
