I guess the biggest change is I took a position offered to me at our Provo office. I wasn't looking for anything new, but when they offered it to me it was something I couldn't turn down. It is closer to home (and the kiddos) and it gives me some exposure to some larger credits that will ultimately be good for me career wise. It really has been nice to be 10 minutes from home and I am finally starting to feel that I am part of the team.
Olivia started preschool on Monday- so far so good. Yesterday she told me that she learned about the numbers 23 and 27??? She has really struggled with bedtime the last several weeks and as a result we have cut out all naps. Unfortunately she still needs the nap during the day, but if she takes one is up until 10 or 11, which is not good for her momma. She is such a sweet girl at times and then the 3 year old tantrums come out the next minute. For example I heard the following from her this week (probably on the same day): "Mom, Heavenly Father really takes care of us" (this was out of the blue at dinner one night) and then "Mom- I don't like you" (after I told her she couldn't have any more apple juice). Oh the joys of a three year old. She really is an amazing little girl- smart, funny, loving and I can't imagine life without her.
Nate is almost 15 months old- how is that possible?? This last few weeks he has really starting to talk and sing. He currently says: momma, dadda, sis, up, down, apple juice, no, thank you and a whole bunch of other stuff I can not understand. He likes to sing and I am pretty sure he is singing the ABC song and the Little Einstein theme song. He knows where is nose and toes are. He also knows that his shoes and socks go on his feet. He likes us to do the "little piggy" rhyme on his toes and will pull his toes and start saying it (at least I assume that is what he is saying). He is a climbing machine, loves being outside, loves his momma, has mastered the stairs, loves books (especially his - Not my Monster book), and got four molars this month. He continues to be such a happy boy, but is taking some temper lessons from his sister. He quickly finds trouble and is exhausting to keep up with and for that we love him that much more- we are lucky to have him in our family.
Scott continues to work hard as an "adult babysitter" (his words not mine) and is planning on taking his SHERM test again in June. When he took the test in December he missed passing by a mere six points so I know he will pass with flying colors when he takes it next. He is such a good daddy to my little ones and a wonderful partner for me.
Here are some pics:
