An Update!

Bailee had a WONDERFUL birthday... thank you to everyone that pitched in!!! We focused on getting her dress up clothes for her birthday to broaden her imaginative play. This is her cat outfit Shasta found... TOO CUTE!!!

She is now also OFFICIALLY potty trained... and we thought the day would never come! An accident now and again but all in all DONE!!! She even woke up in the middle of the night the other night and stumbled out of her room looking for the potty... nothing like sleep walking pottying!!!!

Jack is getting HUGE... and he is actually interested in toys now! He will be 5 months tomorrow! Man the time is really flying with #2... It took forever for Bailee to get this old and now here we are!

Ben is still looking for a Job... Any new Ideas?!?... but I think he has found a new appreciation for being at home....

Me... I am working alot... well.... not currently... i'm on a "break"... my computer internet time is my break time... Just trying to keep the Family afloat... been doing it, but it is stressful being the only income... I have learned from the experience though... I am really trying to trust in God and Ben and I am finding that the stress isn't getting to me nearly as much and I can't ask for more than that!!!! I actually had a really great experience. I was talking to the Bishop about tithing and I committed to paying my tithing (I have never been good at this!) and I was really worried because 10% of my income... 10% less $ for keeping our family afloat... but I committed to it and just a short time later I got an email from my Boss that said... You are great I gave you a 10% raise on this check!!! Even my boss' wording said 10%... God really is looking out for us and does no the intents of our hearts and when we turn to him... he is always there... that experience has helped me this whole time of trial because I know he loves my family!

Oh and one more thing... Biggest loser starts TONIGHT! I am so addicted! (great segway!)

Love it love it love it. Font color a little hard to read but it takes forever to work out the design. Let our Tuesday night addiction begin!
