How can it already be March 17th and this is my first real post for the month... very sad. Oh well, I must hurry, I am needed back in Forks and the house could use a little attention as well... oh yeah, and I have three children who might need a mom instead of a book worm... this is why I can’t read. When I am engaged in a book it seems like everything else in life is just a hassle. I was so annoyed that I couldn’t manage to read while running on the treadmill this morning, I let the kids stay in the bath until we were almost late taking Hayden to school because I was leaning up against the side of the tub reading. And while I do think the Twilight series is really good it’s not just this book, it happens when I read any books I really like, I get sucked in a tune everything out. It’s one time I hate to multi-task. So here is the last few weeks in review:

Hayden started t-ball. He loves it and although he has the skills of a 5 year old he is having fun and making friends.
Hayden is saying very adult like phrases lately. For instance, a boy at the park was trying to ruin his sand castle and he was mad at him so he said “This is not my happy face!” He opened the garage door for me and as he walked past he said to me “You can thank me later for that.” He mumbled something to me and Tom wanted to know what he said but Hayden responded with “It’s okay dad, it doesn’t really concern you.” He says things everyday so I can’t possibly remember them all but they just leave me laughing so I wish I could!

Danica is talking up a storm. She is putting words into sentences all the time now, hooråy!! It’s about time! Her favorite phrase is to request to go swimming in the hot tub, she has fallen in love after using the one at K&B's! We pass the hot tub on the way to the playground and she always wants to stop. She continues to be our second mom constantly trying to wash the kids in the tub, wash their faces or comb their hair, take them their clothes etc. Usually it’s helpful! Yesterday I was singing to her, just the ABC’s, and she stood up and kissed me on the lips! It was so cute (I secretly think she did because my singing is so bad and she wanted me to stop!)

Alyssa is such a smiley happy baby it’s amazing. She is so much fun to snuggle and tickle. She sits up really well but thankfully she shows no interest in crawling! She has gone the last two nights without eating all during the night! She woke up a few times but I never fed her so it's only a matter of time before she stops waking up at all! Hooray!!!

We had such a great time on our visit up to Vancouver. Thank you everyone for making it so much fun! We look forward to doing it a lot in the future. It's fun to think about the days when we will be up there too.

Since returning we are just doing the same old thing, playing, cleaning, playing, cleaning, eating, etc. I’m still in the thick of getting things prepped for our move and have realized that for everything I get done there will be 10 more things waiting. We have a big ward activity this Friday, an adults only dinner that I am in charge of. I am also the team mom for Hayden’s t-ball and busy trying to get that all organized while my email causes problem after problem for some reason.

Okay, that seems to be all. Tom is on his last oral surgery rotation, yeah!!! It will last for about the last month and it means he goes in really early and comes home late. Hopefully time will fly by.

Take care!
