It has almost been a month since I have written a post. I have been busy trying to get things organized so that we can start building our new house. I am so excited about everything. Scott didn't think we were going to be able ot afford it, and that we wouldn't be able to sell this one, and everything has come together well. So we are now waiting for the land to be surveyed, and our financing to all go through, then the builders said they could have the house finished in 3 months.
My children are all feeling good again which is always nice. Jamison did get to play basketball this year, and he is so fun to watch. He doesn't really know whats is going on yet, but he is really good at running up and down the court. Linzi is talking more and more everyday, she is now nicknamed bam bam. She has become the neighborhood terror. Last week she went to one neighbors house and broke 2 flower pots. She went to the other neighbors house and discovered that they keep soda in the carport. If she drops them hard enough they break open and she can drink them. She keeps me very busy. Morgan is moble. He scoots like a little inch worm, but he gets where he wants to go. He can also sit up all be himself. He cut 2 more teeth for a total of 4. I also have weeened him so he now takes a bottle. It just seemed like it didn't matter what I was eating he still would get a rash, but since being on the bottle his rashes have gone away.Now for some funny stories! The other day we were having hotdogs and Jamison asked me for a hotdog bone, but what he really wanted was a hotdog bun. I looked out the window to see what kind of trouble Linzi was in and she was laying in the dogs bowl just as happy as could be. I try to remember these funny moments so that when I am old, I can embrass my wonderful children.

Day to day

I think that my kids are all getting better, but I just love to listen to them whine and cry so I took them to get their shots. They are handling it well, they were only grouchy for the first couple of hours. I always feel so bad when we have to do shots. Linzi has been so cute the last little while, we have been teaching her sign language, she does really well, she remembers them better then I do. She loves being able to communicate somewhat. She also doing this new thing that is so funny, when she knows she is in trouble she covers her eyes. I guess if we can't see her we can't punish her. Jamison was upset today because all his cousins get to play basket ball but he is not old enough, and he will miss the date for t-ball too. I feel bad because all of his friends are older, and he looks and acts older but he is still only 4.Today Jamison and I went out looking for bugs to take to school, but we couldn't find any. I told him it was probably too cold still, he said no mom we just have to keep digging. After digging a huge hole in the yard he came in took off his coat, sweater and gloves and said maybe its just too cold. He makes me laugh. Jamison likes to help around the house, he is in charge of his room, his bathroom, his dog and taking out the trash. He is a great help to me.
Morgan is cutting more teeth! The top ones this time. He is trying so hard to crawl, it is fun to see him get so excited about getting up then he just falls on his face. I took these pics, Scott and I have decided that Morgan is the most expressive baby we have had. He is either very happy or very sad, his faces are to die for they are so funny.
To day I got a call from the RS president to see how I was doing on my lesson for Sunday. I was shocked because I am the second Sunday teacher. They changed the schedule because the second Sunday is stake conf. which I knew, but last year we would just skipped my lesson, so I was looking forward to a month off. But no I am now scrambling to put together a lesson. I am one that like to prepare like 2 weeks in advance, I am not one of those last minute girls. I am just glad that someone called me, can you imagine walking into RS and finding out your in charge of the lesson. I guess someone was supposed to tell me but I never got the message. Oh well I guess I will have to do my best. Luckily we have to leave 15 minutes for testimonies. I should leave here and get back to my work.

One year older wiser too

Isn't that so true! I have been thinking about some of the things I have learned and experienced this year. First I would say that I learned the importance of birth control! I love both of my babies but it is alot of work. I have learned also that hard work does pay off and that I need to set goals and stick to them. I had the unique oppertunity to travel to Hawaii and spend a wonderful week with my husband.I have learned to lean on the Lord in my times of need, and that if I ask for help he will send it. I have learned the importance of good friends and visiting teachers. As Jamison made me breakfast in bed this morning I thought about how thankful I am that my kids really do love me. I am glad to be a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend and I hope that throughout this year I can try to be better at all and more.

Sick Babies

This week has been busy, mostly because the kids have all been sick. It started last Friday with Jamison, He had a fever of 103.6. He said that he felt o.k. he just had a fever. Then Monday night Linzi had and Morgan both had a fever of 102. I thought maybe they would start to feel better with some tylnol and rest like Jamisons did. But I was wrong, they continued to have a fever most of the week and both of them were miseralbe and so of course was mom. I was going to take them to the doctor on Wednessday but after calling the insurance company and arguing with them all day I didn't get to the doctors until Thursday. They both have ear infections and are finally starting to feel better.I am glad to have them well again, it is nice to have them smiling and happy, and sleeping again. I have been exersizing and am happy with my accomplishments. I am now training to run in a 5k in April. I had a friend try to talk me into a half marathon but I think she is crazy. She did one last year and it took almost 3 hours to do the race. It is not what I want to spend 3 hours doing.

My Day to Day

It has been awhile since I did my day to day posting so I need to think about what has happened.
Jamison and Linzi have been playing a lot together, and they are so funny when they are laughing and giggling. Yesterday Jamison hooked a wagon up to his bike so that he could give Linzi a ride, she loved it. He is a really good big brother and loves to help.
Linzi is into everything everyday, she makes me laugh. She likes to tease, if she knows you want something she will run and hide. She also is a big HAM! She now knows what to do for the camera and she makes this crazy face whenever I hold the camera up and tell her to smile. I think she thinks she is smiling but I am not so sure you will have to be the judge of that.
So Morgans sleeping through the night was just wishful thinking. He does sleep better now that I moved him into the other room but he still wakes up about twice a night. He did cut 2 teeth this last week and I think he is working on more because he is soooo grouchy. He is also rolling all over the house.
Scott just got 4 more milk cows. So he is busy milking twice a day. We get about 5 gallons a milking, so we give some to the dog and the chickens and we share with others around town. It is a lot of work, but we can sell them for double what we buy them for, so it is worth it once they get sold.
I cut my hair off and I love it I did an a-line haircut and have had lots of compliments. I am still losing weight and am happy with my accomplishments. I have to teach RS this week and the lesson is about the Savior. It has been nice to think about him and the things he has done for us. I am greatful that I get ot study this topic and learn more about Him. I love my family and this is our day to day.
