It is so funny how time flies. How things you think will never come, always come...and the night before you are wondering why you didn't prepare better for this thing that you knew was going to come. AAAARGH! I feel frazzled and nervous to drive to Utah tomorrow. I am so glad John is coming later so he can bring anything that I have forgotten. I feel as though I am going to go crazy, and yet in all my madness, for some insane reason, I feel I must update my blog before I take off on this adventure. So here is a list of Farr odd and ends that have happened since I posted last.
- We have ants taking over our home. Some of them fly! Between ants and mice, I am so ready to leave this house!
- Noah has learned to jump rope. His high is 40 in a row. We are VERY proud!
- Noah had a note sent home from school telling me he is consistently late, and that I need to shape up as a parent. SUPER SWEET!
- Micah got her hair cut! She looks so grown up, and as beautiful as ever.
- We have been to the park two times. Neither trip lasted too long. It is still to cold. Come soon please Spring!
- John has been working swing shifts. I am so glad they will be over(for 3 weeks anyway) when we get back. I miss talking to him at night, but have enjoyed sleeping in!
- Deeken is in full terrible twos. It is only his smile that is saving him from continual time outs. He broke the door on the front of our entertainment center, and says "No" to EVERYTHING I ask him.
- Deeken has been pooping on the toilet since this time last year. He is so reverting in toilet training. I swear it is he who is training me in patience, not I training him to pee-pee on the potty!
- Josie is sweet, I love her, but I should learn never to say out loud, "My baby sleeps through the night." Argh! I should have knocked on wood. I hope the waking up ends soon! I am exhausted.
- I thought I was going crazy... from sleep exhaustion and other things, turns out I have low thyroid. Fun stuff!
- John's mom flew in on Thursday night to help me drive down to Utah. My kids have so loved having grandma time! We have been to Chuck E Cheese, the temple and out to dinner(adults only) (Thanks to all who helped with baby sitting!) PLus, I got to run numerous errand by myself! HEAVEN!
- My three really EXCELLENT friends celebrated birthdays! Brenley, Stephanie and Chelle! Love ya! Wish you all lived closer!

Oh, sorry to hear about the thyroid thing. Mine went bust after Caleb was born too. I'm tired for you just thinking about it.
That's so exciting Noah can jump rope! That means we should prob get one so Kimball can practice...
I hope your drive goes well, I hear you on the forgetting things! That's nice John will be able to bring things. Which in my case would be a lot.
I can't wait for you guys to get here! The weather has been soo nice, but today is crappy and snowing again. :( Hopefully it will get nice again while you're here. We hope you have a great birthday tomorrow!!
Maybe I should go shopping w/you to park city this time, or I can watch the kids if needed.
Thanks for the Bday shout out! I cant believe you are driving on your b-day! Lets do something fun once you are settled here. Maybe a twilight movie night? I would also love to go shopping in park city with you, if you go this time =)I guess you might be so busy looking at houses, but then again girls always have time to shop! See you soon!!!
Oh I'm jealous, can you swing by Vegas and pick me up? sounds like you have a lot on your plate, that is the perfect time to head home and unwind a little..have a wonderful trip!
Oh I'm going to miss seeing you at church:-( But I am so Happy for you guys, it must feel so good to feel like your moving forward. My tip for the sleeping through the night is, don't respond. It is sooo hard but I was getting tag teamed by the girls when they were little and finally said that's enough and let them cry it out and it only took a couple of nights and they got themselves back to sleep with out eating. Now we're working on sleeping without Binkies, another cry-it-out method that is working!
Good Luck With everything, I love your sweet family! I'll keep checking in with your blog! And agian I love your hair! I wish I was brave enough and that Chris would let me sometimes, It would be so nice....
Good Luck with the drive here. I bet your parents can't wait to see those darling kids!
Happy Birthday today!!!!
I love your posts, cause I seriously sit back and say this is my life too!
Hey I read somewhere that ants can't digest cornmeal, so it may be worth a try to sprinkle some out and should kill them and their entire hill in about a week.
Have fun here in Utah. When you move back we should get together and let our hooligans run wild!
Has it really been a whole year? I really antisipated doing more together, I guess I will just have to come visit you in Utah now! I am happy for you all, there is nothing quite like home!
