A little update

Sorry it has taken me so long to get inside pictures posted. I'd make excuses, but I'll be honest, being home all day with three kids under three is a little more crazy than I thought it would be. At the end of most days I wonder what I actually got done that day and I realize I barely did anything besides feed babies, change babies, pump, make bottles, make sure that Savannah didn't have any accidents and try to get dinner ready. There are still boxes all over the house that need unpacking, bathrooms that need to be cleaned, laundry that needs to be done and floors that need to be mopped...it's on my to do list, it's been there for awhile and it's going to be there for awhile still, I'm sure.

The babies are now 5 months old...crazy, I know. They weigh approximately 11 and 12#. Cael started rolling from his back to his stomach last week. It's a great accomplishment, except that he truly hates being on his stomach so he just gets mad. Landry has decided to hold of on rolling, and gets around just moving, I haven't figured it out yet. Savannah will be three next month. She's great as long as she gets enough sleep. She's totally into Briar Rose/Princess Aurora, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Her imagination is wild and crazy. She's starting to be a bigger help to me day by day. I can now ask her to get diapers, wipes and take bottles away. She is a great baby entertainer for a few minutes. She has also figured out how to maneuver the computer mouse and now plays her favorite game unassisted.

I am heading to Utah with Shane's mom and dad on July 2nd. This means I finally get to see Lincoln again! YEAH!! We're heading on the long drive to pick Lincoln up and go to a family reunion. I can't wait to see Lincoln, Savannah has missed him as much or more than I have. I'll be glad to have him back home. I am excited to see Utah again as well. I have friends to see, places to visit...I won't be able to fit everything I want to do in, but I'll try. I hope that the kids do well, it's going to be a full week of non-routine...I'm already gearing up for it. (yikes)

We love our home, though there are still a lot of unpacked boxes, I love it! I really like our ward, it's great to be LDS in a place that there aren't a ton of them around. I spoke in church yesterday, which I hate doing, but it's always good to prepare the talk. I like it down here so much more than I thought I would. Except for missing my friends, family and the mountains, I love it here. People are so nice, the weather is great (actually it's been really, really hot...), I really think this was a good move for me.

I promise pictures of the house are coming...I promise, soon... :)
