EVENTFUL MONTH...

I first of all...cannot believe my little girl will be turning 8 on Friday!!! She will be getting baptized on the 10th at Noon...! I cannot believe how fast time flies. She is so much fun, and I love my sweet little JL.
JT turned 3, and was given LOTS of birthday presents (thanks everyone!!!) But I think the best gift we got was a card from B and K that said "We love you!!! Love, B and K and your cousin..." YAY!!! They are due in MAY...I can't wait, and hope all goes well this time around. We are all praying that it does. Thanks everyone also for making JT's day special...
Last Thursday my Sister and her hubby went to have their big ultrasound and found out that Steven and I are getting another Nephew in February. FINALLY...the nephews start rollin in...wahoo!!! I can't wait to hold these little ones!!! Plus i'm glad that i'm not the only one with kids anymore...THANKS GUYS!!!
Things are going well, and I just cannot tell you how happy we are out here in the country. It's so fun, and a blessing in our lives to be here...

JT is THE BIG 3!!!

Wow...I think I would rather have 10 2 year olds than 1 3 year old!! haha. I really think they're harder, but whatever! JT has been potty trained for about 6 or 7 weeks now, and can I just say...WAHOO!!! No more diapers for us. It's such a great feeling! I am so proud of my littlest man, he is such a good boy. He must get his disposition from his Dad.
I cannot believe how good people are! I have a friend from elementary school that saw my blog, and brought me a camera! yay!! Once I get batteries and a cord to upload pics, i'll be bloggin my little heart out again. THANKS DANA!!! You are the best! It was fun to see you and your little guy and catch up!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my JT! I love ya kiddo!!

**pictures to come soon...***

I sure need a camera!!

..sometime i'll post pictures!!!
We are so busy chasing kids and getting them to school. JL is doing well. She had a rough first week being 'the new kid' and all, but she has adjusted well, and i'm so proud of her! JS is having a fabulous time in kindergarten and gets chased at recess by a few girls that are trying to kiss him. For years i've been preparing him for this..and so when they tried to kiss him he said.."NO! I only kiss my MOM!!" I was so proud...hehe. JT is adjusting well, and is still trying to get me to let him go into the school when we drop the kids off. He brings his backpack everyday also.
Steven is working hard and finishing up his last 3 credit hours to graduate in December. He is working non stop at work and then at night on a house in Layton. We sure appreciate all his hard work, and love Daddy so much.
I am staying busy at home taking care of the kids, homework, housework, ect. I am so glad to be who I am and to be so blessed with the husband and children that I have. I couldn't ask to be anything else. No degree or worldly recognition would make me feel the same way being a Mom does. I am also so glad to have the friends that I have. They mean everything to me. They love and care about me, and don't expect me to be a size zero, or have perfectly manicured nails and colored hair to be their friend. I am grateful that they are so kind and loving and see who I am on the inside and still love me.
Life is good. We continue to grow and learn everyday and we couldn't ask for anything more...

summer is basically over...

...soo sad, but true. Monday the kids start school again. JL is going to 2nd grade, and JS into Kindergarten! I am going to miss having them around all day everyday. They are so much fun, and I love em so much!
Someday I might get a camera to post some pictures here! I'll borrow a camera for the first day of school for sure!
