So we got word from the Navy that Tom got the GPR but we don't know where... hopefully we'll find out mid November (or sooner if Kenn can pull some strings for us!) Also just wanted to let you know that Tom graduates on May 20th. Some of the girls are counting down and informed me that is only 7 months away... That really is soon! After much deliberation and looking into all the gyms around here (which are really expensive!!) We have decided that we are buying a treadmill as our big Christmas gift this year. Going to Curves for the winter months would end up costing me nearly $500!!! And they are only open for very limited hours. The gym at Case is slightly cheaper and they have babysitting during some hours but honestly it would take me at least 2 hours to drag the kids to the gym everyday! I am finally enjoying my exercise and I don't want to lose it. They say that any investment in your health is a good one and that makes sense. I feel happier all around when I have the chance to run in the morning. So hopefully once the treadmill arrives I can do it without freezing or spending two hours dragging the kids to the gym.

Danica is still having problems sleeping...if I only had one kid it wouldn't matter so much but once I am awake for the day I can't stop until late so I can't get up at 5am!!! She started by waking up at 7, but it's gotten progressively earlier. Some days it's around 4:30 or 5 and we can't get her back to sleep! We have begun another cry it out campaign...Hayden is sleeping in our bed, from the beginning of the night and if she wakes up we are doing nothing. It wasn't that bad the last time we did it so hopefully she will relearn fairly quickly. I'll put up with 6am, I'd like 7 and would prefer 8 but I won't do 5!!!!! So this is our plan... We've got our ear plugs ready... Poor little angel. She is such a sweetheart it just breaks my heart but that is what being a parent is all about I suppose! Luckily, she only woke up a few times the first night and last night she was awesome, she slept from 8:00-7:00 with no crying!!! Woohoo!!! Hopefully she'll do that again tonight and start a new improved routine!

Hayden is still loving preschool and begs me every day to have someone over for a playdate. He was in the primary program this past Sunday and acted exactly how you might expect. He made faces, lifted his shirt up, got "too tired" to stand during the songs and talked and laughed whenever he wanted. When "Follow the Prophets" came on he yelled out "This is my favorite song!" and then proceeded to humm it so it looked like he was just standing there. He was however very cute, he never left his seat (unlike many other sunbeams) and he remembered his little speaking part perfectly. Not bad for the youngest Sunbeam in the ward. We've started a new system where he has to earn his video game/computer game time by doing chores and such. Today was the first day and it went well but I am sure the novelty will wear off soon. But I'm going to stick with the program because he is getting really lazy about helping clean up and always fights doing his really simply chores. Plus he begs to play his games ALL day! So hopefully this will help both problems! We'll see...

We got our pictures taken the other day. Although she literally took over 200 pictures there isn't a single one where both Danica and Hayden are happy at the same time. But that's just life. We're learning how to photo shop them and what not but here's a preview of one of the many!

Have a great weekend! I gotta go sleep! Bye
