February 5

Life at the Martins is going good. Jared just took his first exam this semester in Biochemistry. How'd it go? I don't know. I haven't seen Jared yet today. But he studied hard! Next Monday he will also have another exam, but it's in General Physiology. Then the following Monday is his exam in Human Genetics. The he gets a break for that next Monday but then the NEXT Monday is his next Biochem test. This is different from last semester when they gave them a bunch of tests at the same time, like all in the same week.
Jace is really enjoying Junior Jazz. His team won their first game last Saturday! They beat a team that was undefeated until they met. Jace and Dad went to the Jazz game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday last week, and it was SO FUN! We won! Jace got to learn what "Nose-bleed Seats" meant. They got the tickets free for being on Junior Jazz. He's also doing well in school, from what I see. In spelling he got all the words right PLUS the 3 bonus words, so we're having a popcorn party tonight!
Lance is enjoying his art class. Every Wednesday, he gets to go and learn different ways to express himself with colors and paper. This last time, he made a cool flag with different shaped stamps and paint. The stamps worked for a while, but when he discovered that it's easier to just put his fingers in the paint and spread it all around, he had a lot of fun with it, and it changed the whole picture! Right now he really enjoys playing catch and also pushing around his Hot Rod cars. He's really good at dumping all the toys out of the box. It makes a great sound! He puts them on the race track and races them down the spiral. Everywhere we go, he's got cars (and his two little helicopters) with him. He keeps them in his coat pockets.
Kyle continues to be a sweet, soft, cuddly baby. Actually, he's getting to be quite solid! Jared weighed him on the scale here at home and it said he weighs 17 LBS! He's also getting quite mobile. Last Thursday, he rolled over both ways! Then Friday he started grasping toys! He's growing too fast!
I was able to get outside today with Lance and catch some rays from the sun. It was beautiful outside, and we had a great time at the playground with the other kids and moms.
I'll put pictures in the next blog :)
Thanks for visiting!
