Could it really be??????

MY BABY IS POTTY TRAINING/TRAINED!!!!!!!

The best part is, I didn't have to do anything (other than keep her from playing in the toilet :)

She decided one day that she was ready. So now she takes herself to the bathroom every single time she has to go (and even when she doesn't have to go, but wants an excuse to flush the toilet) and rarely has an accident.

I officially don't have any kids in diapers during the day, hurray!!!!!

Now that is a cause for celebration.

Let's just hope it sticks with the move and all, cross your fingers :)

Moving on

Well I guess it is pretty much official, so I can announce that we are.........................not having another baby, but moving to Utah......in less than 2 weeks!!! Work here for Justin has gone from less than part time, to no time at all, with no opportunity to increase any hours. So Justin's family has so graciously offered to let us move in with them, until we can get on our feet. This will provide Justin with some more job opportunities, schools avaliable to him for PHD's, and give him the support that he needs.

I have to admit that it doesn't feel real, because up to this point, we have gotten our hopes up and planned on moving and it never happened. So we accepted the idea that we were suppose to stay here, with hopes that it would work out....wrong again. I guess I am waiting for something to come up and change these plans, it seems to be the trend in our life.

But I am very grateful for Justin's parents and the sacrifice that his family is making in our behalf. I love them to death and couldn't be more happy to be close to them. Although I don't think they know what they are getting themselves into (you guys still have time, but not much, to back out :)

Now I need to start packing, maybe I should be doing that instead of blogging :)

Good-Bye

Today my Grandma passed away. Her suffering is finally over and she can now be at peace. I feel very blessed to have had her in my life and for the chance my kids have had to get to know her.

Grandma I love you , Thank you for being such a wonderful example. I will miss you so much!!!!

Ahhh....

It is finally here!!!!

I never thought this day would come!!!

I am sure you are wondering what this wonderful, blessed event is......no it is not a job, but it comes in at a close second....... The kids are back in school, peace in the home has been restored (well some of it anyway :)

Joel asked me why I was so excited for them to go back to school and I told him,

"Joel I am excited for you guys, because you get to go to school to learn, see your friends and play. All I get to do is stay home, clean the house and take a nap." He was fooled by the lie,(part of it is true) but most moms would not be so easily fooled. If you read between the lines, this is what you really get from that statement.

"They are finally back in school, they are someone else's problem for awhile. Now I can clean my house and keep it clean for a while, and I can actually take a nap....hurray!!!!"

I love my kids, I love school, but I really love the combination of the two :0
