So Little Time...


I just noticed that last blog I had a typo...she was actually 32 1/2 inches, not 31....anyhow, she's tall!!

We have so much going on right now. I am working 2 days a week, Brice is barely able to come home and eat before going to bed b/c he is so busy and Rachel is just simply growing up before our eyes! She can do so many "big girl" things now. She can and will, for the most part, follow simple commands. For example, we were at the doctor's office yesterday (doctor for Mommy, not Rachel) and she was taking all of the magazines off the table. I said, "Rachel, look at Mommy." She did. "Get those books (she doesn't know what a magazine is) and put them back on the table, please." She did exactly what I asked her. It was just such a simple thing but to me, it just filled my heart. I love her so much and I just love watching her little wheels turn in her head. She is really vocal right now too....saying things that you can actually understand...okay, that I can understand! :) She says water, cracker, Crunchies, emmys (that's M&Ms), Christy, Krista, Chelsea, Siah (that's Josiah), Bibby (Libby), stairs, room, door, juice, Bilk (milk), no no, paci, home, house, car, school, shoes, socks, drink, fish and list goes on.....as I began to type all of the things she can say I realized that she says a lot of words!!! Her newest ones are elbow, pease (please) and obu (love you). Oh, I just love her...can't tell, can you?

Disciple Now is this week and we have 5 grown up people staying in our home...so I have been a little Martha trying to get things situated for company...it should be fun. I work tomorrow then have lunch with a friend on Friday. I am hosting a baby shower on Saturday then next week will go to a baby shower for my friend who is having twin boys. Then work next Monday and Wednesday and will attempt to keep Chelsea and take both her and Rachel to music class on Tuesday! FUN TIMES!!!

Still no news concerning the full time position.....

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
