life....

man does life carry us away at times! i have realized that FB has been my way of updating all of you on our life and have neglected our blog! and i have missed blogging! so here goes!

things have been very crazy and there is no sign of it letting up!  greg did find a job....he works for my cousin and his partners at their credit card machine business.  it is called CMS (complete merchant services) and he is their "tech" guy.  he delivers the machines and gets them set up.  he really likes it and the people he works for/with.  he is still looking for a therapy job but is also waiting to explore more opportunities at CMS.

jaxon is jsut a busy little bee!  he is non-stop as usual!  the colder weather has been a challange for us, because jax won't go outside much anymore unless greg or i am with him.  so he has a lot of built up energy!  he loves to play with his tractors, trailers, and animals.  he is always making gates for the animals to go through that lead to the fields.  he uses everything form cords to shoes to accomplish this! then he will periodically check on his cows!  then he will call either uncle todd or grandpa to make sure the got in the pickup, went through the gate, go to the field and check on the cows! these conversations happen several times a day as well!  he loves to color as well.  he thinks all colors are pink or blue.  jaxon LOVES to dance! everytime a commercial or show plays a song or the radio is on he DANCES! and shakes his body!  he is actually pretty good! he can move to the beat.  he is comming up with new moves all the time!  he was starting to potty train and then lost interest in in slowly over a couple week period, so we are back to the beginning again! jaxon's language is constanly entertaining! we have some pretty good conversations! lately his phrases/answeres consist of : yes i can!    i be good now! or i will listen now! (when asked to go to time out for misbehaving)  and then ,  yes it are, there it are etc.... he replaces "is" with "are" ! greg and i find this rather humorous!  we also have "discussions" on how words are pronounced.  a typical/ common one we have is  :    jax : mommy? can i have a bite-a-min ?
                 me : it is called a Vit-a-min
                 jax : no its not! its a Bite-a-min!! (yelling)
 then we repeat this untill either he gets really mad or i can't stop laughing!

jaxon really loves his baby sister! he is so helpful and loves to get me diapers, wipes, burp rags, or whatever i need for grace.  he loves to play with her and make her laugh!  he gets a little too aggressive at times and makes her cry but it is all done with love!

Grace is growing like a weed! she is getting so big!  everytime she eats all i can think is of  a movie where they say "i can hear you getting fatter!" that is how big she is getting! but it is SOOOO cute!  she is getting more interactive and fun.  i love that she is starting to discover things and her personality is showing more and more! 

as for me.... the boutique in st george that i did for  delila mae  went better then i thought so that is good! of couse i would have loved to sell more but it was a good start.  things are slowly going but they are going. i am always looking for ways and opportunities to get delila mae out there.  i know it will take some time to get things really going but i guess that is where i can practice being patient! heaven knows i could use it! although i have my bad days, i really do love being home with my babies and being part of the new things the do and say every day.  if only i could get more sleep i think i would have it made!

we have been sick for the last week or 2 so i am hoping that it ends soon!!! i hate this time of year for that purpose! and for the cold weather! we are all loving living in the same house as jen and wayland and all the kids! it has been a lot of fun!  jen and i joke that it is like pologamy only we have our own husbands! it is going to be a sad day when they move on and get "settled"

i am hoping that i will be able to make posts at least once a week, so stay tuned! 
we hope everyone is doing well and doesnt' get sick! (i know, wishful thinking!)
