Pool Time!

Bailey loves playing in the pool, and last year we only had one of those hard plastic baby pools. So she is crazy about this hippo pool that we got. It was very cheap too! Taylor on the other hand I think will have to warm up to the idea of being in cold water. He didn't even want to look at the water let alone be in it. So we shall see what the summer will bring. I can't wait to play with them more. If you can see closely Leland was not in the water mood. Like father like son I guess. He was reading a book, which I might add he finished in 4 days. I am so jealous of him, I wish I had the concentration to be able to do that. Can't wait for the rest of the summer, I hope it will be full of fun!

Our Spring Break in Montana

We got to visit with my family over the Spring Break right before Easter. But just the same as Utah, Montana was not so spring-like! It actually snowed a few days that we were there. It was fine by me because I wasn't going up there to go hiking or any other outdoor activities, I was more interested in seeing my 4 sisters and 1 brother, and my mom and dad!

It was great seeing everyone and hanging out with my sister that we stayed with. They got to experience what 2 children would be like. There house was very amusing to them, so they were busy exploring and playing with their dog Molly. I'm so blessed to have the resources to be able to travel that far and see my family. They give me energy for life - I don't know how else to explain it. They make me happy!

Journal Entry

Bailey and Taylor are getting so big - I can't believe how fast time is going by. Bailey is now a Sunbeam in Primary, and it's still a work in progress. I got called as the CTR 4 teacher right about at the same time so she wants me all the time when we are in the same room. She's doing great though and learning alot!

Taylor is now walking and doing very well. He caught on very quickly and now I can't wait till he starts running, it will probably be very soon at this rate. He's such a sweet boy and at this moment he's sitting in his high chair eating a graham cracker and talking to himself.

Today it has been raining and it's funny how that effects your mood so much. All I have been thinking of is when is the warm springtime gonna be here already. I want to go play outside with the kids just as bad as they do. Everytime I open the front door, Taylor charges for it, and then of course I shut it before he gets to it and he wails and collapses everytime like it's the end of the world. I'm sure he's thinking "hey I can walk now so let's go outside already!"

Tonight I have to go to work and even if it's a short shift I still hate leaving Leland and the kids. Wish I didn't have to work, or at least not as much as I do. Leland and I are really close to paying off our small devt, and then we can move on to our large debt which consists of his student loan and the car loan. After that I don't think we'll know what to do with ourselves. I thought we could celebrate by getting another dog, and I actually think that Leland would go along with that. Our dog that we had, her name was Cassie a lab/retriever, she passed away in Oct. 2009. It has been a long time since she died but sometimes it feels like just yesterday. Can't wait to get another one.

We are heading up north to see family in Montana in about a wekk or so, and I can't wait. I miss everybody so muc, and can't stand being so far away from everyone. So it's most of my family that are up there and Leland's side of the family are in Southern Utah, which is great cause they are only a 4 hour drive away. Now that we have kids we don't travel down there as much as we used to. We used to go down there alot, and most of the time we drove in the middle of the night to see our families. We miss everyone when we aren't around them.
