Where does the time go?

I was so proud of my self for writing an update and then I looked at the date and it's almost Halloween. Let's see what I can tell you. To date my digital camera, which was a great anniversary gift is in the shop. Something happened to the screen and it was a total lost. I cried. But my hubby was a great man and bought insurance so it will be will us again. It's been very interesting learning just how much I carry and take photos of the babies. But I do have a camera on my cell phone. It's not the greatest but I do still capture things I find important to me.

The big brother amazed me once again. Not only is he having a blast in pre school, I took him to Super Cuts and he got a haircut! I was like turning away trying not to cry and he just took it like a pro. Yes, I saved some of the hair, but it's the first hair cut. Wow, I tear up thinking about it. He's just grown by leaps and bounds in the last few months and I just can't keep up it seems. And on top of that, next year for the Primary Program he'll be in front. OMG!  What will I do then. Good thing I'm not playing piano in primary right now. Whew, I don't even want to think what that might be like. He's doing amazing in nursery, I just can't brag enough about him.

The princess is doing well, and around March will be going to pre-school a few days a week too. I know that it will be fun for them I just don't know what I will do with myself for those few hours. She loves getting ready to get big brother when he's at school. Tomorrow is the Halloween party and they have costumes.I had one in mind but going as a Mom actually suits me just fine. It's their party. Awww. Just a quick note before I head to bed. Can't wait to write again!

Uh oh

I need to send everyone an update and haven't done so. Wow huh? Our little household has been a buzz with a Family Reunion, a new truck, Pre-school starting, and finding things to make the Princess feel like she's learning something as well. I've been so proud of big brother and all he has taken on at the age of three. I can't believe how well he's adjusted to waking up, having some assistance getting ready and being excited to walk out the door for school. I have him go to bed before everyone else so he can be well rested for the next day and he's not afraid of sleeping in his room by himself. He has started helping me with family prayers and even adds some awesome things he is thankful for. His favorite is being thankful for cars, Sponge Bob, Dora and Diego, cars, keys to the cars and the chance to be able to say Jesus Christ. He sometimes says amen before Jesus Christ comes out but at least he can say it.

Our trip was scary, awesome, tiring and great all at the same time. I wish I had taken more pictures but I was chasing two kids around a National Forrest.I was a bit nervous for how Jordan's family might react to...someone with a built in tan. Although people see your announcement photo, you never know until you actually met the family and this really was my official introduction. I am a very mellow person and enjoy learning about people through stories pictures and how ever they feel comfortable allowing me into their lives for a brief moment. The first few days we were in Idaho I met most of the extended family who lived around Grandpa and Grandma, which was a lot. And everyone looks alike. Blonde Hair blue eyes...everybody. And then there's my son who could blend in with any Hispanic, Native American or Pacific Islander family. But there's is such a blessing in the foundation of a man and woman being married starting a family and watching their family bloom and grow.

I had a blast spending time with cousins aunts and uncles and who knows how many kids under 10. Our drive home was blessed by the angels since we never had car or truck troubles. And within days we were back at home, starting pre-school and getting the big man up each day at 7:30. I am so thankful for the prayers sent up in our behalf. Thank you. Well it's late and I should sleep...I will be better about another update soon. :)
