Joe and Nicia's Update

Nicia and Joe here! There are a few things we can report on. Joe has been working on finishing the bathroom in the basement. That's the last thing he needs to do to have our basement totally finished. He's pretty amazing for finishing the whole basement (minus the drywall, cause he was getting burned out) all by himself! So he should be finished with that sometime in October. So if anyone is dying to visit Cheyenne, WY we should have a nice basement for you to stay in if you do decide to come. :)

Alyssa has started preschool and she LOVES it! She is also taking ballet, but I'm not too pleased with her teachers. They are young girls who seem like they may be juniors in high school, and they just don't seem to keep a handle on the kids. So we might be changing ballet studios here in the next month.Logan is now starting to eat rice cereal and baby food. We also got him one of those mesh teething things that can fit fruits and such in there. He really seems to like that! He is sitting up and sleeping wonderfully now!
Joe and I are both students right now. I am taking a psychology class and Joe is taking a few classes as he's working on his masters. So we've been pretty busy! We are also the Sunday School teachers teaching the 16-18 year olds, but Joe is always going on alerts on Sunday, so it's usually just me. (Nicia.)
Anyway, that's a pretty good overview of us right now! We have a blog, but it's private, so if you'd like to have an invite to view it, just send me an email! You should all have my email from the email I sent you all letting you know about this blog. :) My blog name is theesplinfamily.blogspot.com. I try posting lots of pictures on there, but I'm not always super great at updating it!

Becky and Jared's Blog

Becky and Jared Whittle here. We are planning to add to this blog every few months with a summary of what we've done. You know, for family history stuff and junk. But we also have our own blog which we update regularly. It is a really easy website to remember. It's www.beckyandjared.com. Or www.jaredandbecky.com. They both work. Becky and Jared dot com. It's easy to remember. If you're not good at remembering, create a bookmark. If you don't have time to check our blog regularly and/or think you'll forget that we have a blog, I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Google Reader.

Google Reader allows you to "subscribe" to various people's blogs (family, friends, people you're interested in). Then you just go to Google Reader's website and Reader will show you all the blog posts that have been updated. Just go to www.google.com/reader with your Google account. Then, whenever a website has an RSS feed, just copy and paste the link to it into your Google Reader account. Or if you click on subscribe, you can then type the web address for the blog (like www.beckyandjared.com) and it will go and find the RSS link for you! Easy! We will update www.beckyandjared.com far more frequently than this one, and in way more detail with way more pictures. But if you just want a summary every few months, then you can continue just looking here for us.

You can also follow us using some other social media services: There's always Facebook, Twitter (@jaredwhittle), and YouTube (edwhittle). But the websites the best place to go. Laters!
