Long time no blog!!!

























I know most of you have taken me off your list of friends by now and I wouldnt blame you. I havent had a lot of time or really interest in blogging for awhile, but Jayna is no longer sleeping in the computer room so I might be able to blog more often now(we will see:))

Haylee is now three years old. For her birthday we went to Bounce U. She loves that place. It was a total blast. We did the whole potty training thing the beginning of January. I was scared to start it and not sure how it was going to go but its probably good we waited so long becasuse she learned really fast, it took her about three days to get it down pat and not want to wear diapers anymore. She is talks like crazy now, and is so imaginative(sp), she is my big helper now.

Jayna is now 19months and is a little smartie pants. She repeats everything that we say and has picked up on tons of words. The other day she was helping me put groceries away and as she carried the ketchup for me she said "heavy", Jayna did how does she know what Heavy means its crazy how fast kids catch on. She is now sleeping in Haylees room with her. We were offered two free twin beds so now the girls have their own big bed and they love it. I cant believe Jayna stays in her bed and doesnt just walk out of the room at night but for some reason (maybe I am really intimidating) she thinks she has to stay in her bed until morning, I hope she stays under this impression for a long time.

Matt is superman right now. He works long hours and then starts right on school when he gets home. He is taking three online classes right now so it keeps him extremly busy. But we are blessed that he has so much work right now. You are amazing babe:)

I was babysitting a newborn full time from August till the beginning of February when the family moved to Utah. It was a lot of work but we were blessed to have that extra income. I have to say that it has been nice this month not being tied down so much, I have been able to enjoy my kids so much more. I am still babysitting a boy in my ward, but it is only three days a week for only three hours. As great as it feels not to be babysitting all the time it is a great way for me to make money and still be with the kids, so if you hear of anyone looking for a babysitter keep me in mind. I have also picked up a new hobby(or Matt would probably say my only hobby) I have started writing childrens books. I have written two so far and have sent one of them out to publishers(which I wont hear back from for at least 3months). I know that it is hard to get things published and my chances arent great but either way I have had a blast coming up with ideas and writing them down and putting everything into place.

Well that is us. Hope everyone is doing great. Now I am going to read everyone elses blog now. Nobody probably looks at this anymore but it will make a great journal entry anyway.
