I have the best husband ever!

I am so glad that I married Lance! He is such a great guy and the best husband and father! Tonight he came home early to put Daniel to sleep--in the good way--since I was so tired of dealing with him (Daniel, that is). And he also took Jen & Alex to an activity. Now he's at the clinic seeing clients. I know he's tired and still not feeling 100% better but he keeps serving all of us. He also carved a pumpkin with Alex this morning and cleaned up afterward! I love him and I'm glad he's around!

2 1/2 year olds

I love my 2 1/2 year old! He is fun to watch as he discovers new things and tries them out for himself. He is super independent and loves to do big boy things and it's fun to see him explore and learn. But there are some days when I want to pull my hair out and scream! Those days usually come when he refuses to take a nap. He's almost big enough not to need one, but not quite. So if he does take one, then he stays up really late and if he doesn't take one he turns into a whiny animal between the hours of 3:30 and 7:00--when I put him down for the night. Today was a day I really needed him to take a nap, and he won't. There's an activity for the Young Women/Young Men that we are invited to tonight--painting pumpkins and frosting cookies. And I told him if he didn't sleep he couldn't go to the party. I thought he would sleep--he didn't. So now I need to follow through on the threat by not taking him. Which is too bad for him because I think he would've had a fun time, but now he'll be sleeping and I'll be resting, which isn't too bad of a deal. I just hope they bring me some cookies.
Thankfully my mom came down today and made it possible for me to get through this afternoon of no nap time. I already had a nap AND a shower. Thanks mom for saving us, yet again!

Sickness has struck

Just when you thought I'd be feeling better, stomach flu has struck! Daniel, Lance, me and Alex. Jenny is good so far, we're praying for that to continue! Sadly, Alex threw up at the neighbors. Thanks to Mandy for cleaning up my kid's puke. Sorry if that's too much info, but there it is anyway. Gotta go.

Excuses and updates

Well, there's really only one for not posting at all in the last few months. I'm pregnant and SUPER sick!! We got an ultrasound and there's actually something growing this time around, so that's good news. I'm about 9 weeks along so there's still danger for miscarriage, but we're hoping for a baby this time around.
I plan to post some pictures when I'm feeling better-so about 3 more weeks before anything. Both Alex & Jenny started school, Daniel moved to a toddler bed and Alex got an award at school today for "making good choices". He's such a well behaved boy! Jenny's losing teeth like crazy & Daniel's talking like crazy. They're crawling on me so I must go. This house is a disaster and we've got people coming to look at it tomorrow, yes, it's for sale. It doesn't effect our contract, but it's a pain in the booty. Oh yeah, Lance is the 2nd counselor in the Bishopric now, which makes Sunday's hard but he's great for the job! And I'll be able to handle it better when I feel less sick.
