Swallow Family Blog : February 2016

February was a BIG month for us! A LOT of things have happened! It started with Tyler and I having to go to the dentist. Like a lot.... It had been quite sometime since we had gone, so no surprises... We both had funny faces. Mine wouldn't work... sorry about that....

News for Tyler, he was able to move to first shift! For three years now, he has been working 2pm-12am. It could have been worse, but we are SO excited! Until they hire a person to take his place, he will work a split shift, 10am-7pm.

We were able to pay our car off! I was so excited about it. He had a Gollum-ish attitude about it! While we were coming home, we found the best mall! It was finally 50 degrees with the sun out! The boys REALLY enjoyed the water show!

I CANNOT stop laughing at their dance moves!

Tyler's work will give you $200 towards a purchase they consider to increasing a healthy lifestyle. Tyler is lucky on two accounts, 1-The Applewatch is on the approved list. 2-Applewatches were on sale for a steal of a deal! So the boy got a watch! And he really does like it. Nolan does too...

News for Chy. I turned 27! I also got a new calling! I am still teaching in CTR 4. To give you a sense of our class, we have THREE teacher's called! We have a LARGE class and a few that are really high
maintenance. So it's a party in CTR 4! I really do enjoy them! Anyways, my new calling. I had been helping out and played accompaniment for the Ward Choir, so I expected to be called as ward choir accompanist. NOPE! Ward Organist, people! Yeah, it was a big shock for me! And Tyler as well! I really love playing the piano, but I was NOT as practiced as I should have been and I get REALLY nervous when people actually sing... However, I know it is going to be a wonderful opportunity for me! It's really crazy. I am now a third generation organ player! My grandmother is frequently the Ward Organist in her ward, my mother is CURRENTLY the Ward/Stake Organist and now mean! I haven't really played, but both were able to give me some lessons to get me started! It's going to be an adventure for our family! Tyler, well, he was thrown to the wolves we know as children!

We have been spending some time with cousins, Lynnlee and Mia. Everyone loves to snuggle with Uncle Ty Ty! Lynn really enjoys dressing herself and doing her own hair! Tyler introduced them all the Snapchat! Hilarity ensued! Grayson did not care for it.....

Nolan wants to get just like Grayson. He can never get enough of Uncle Tommy's new kitty! Grayson got REALLY good at hide and seek one day! Can you find him??

Nolan was helping Grayson take his socks off so they could play! We were at the Apple store and the boys were in HEAVEN! We started going on walks when it is warm enough!

We were able to go and see Kendra at her Spelling Bee! She did a great job! It was fun! Kendra is a STRONG favorite in our house!

Valentines day was fun! Grayson has a small class, so I could do something cute without it being too expensive! Also, we weren't allowed to send food items... so yeah.... Grayson was SO SO SO excited to show me his valentines! It was very cute! Tyler was also VERY sweet! He would give blue all my bowls for water, so I didn't have anymore bowls! He got me all set up!
