Ugh! i know theres so much to catch up on.  I hate Blogging.  I feel like its a responsibility that i keep putting on the back burner.   When in actuality its not a responsibility...however, it feels that way.  I find myself referring back to this talk by Uchtdorf alot lately.  From here on out I have to  make things quick, quick, quick!

The jist:

-Evalyn is 5 months. Extremely Happy baby. About nothing phases her. one weakness tho-Never leave unattended after she awakes from in her carseat, she will wake in terror. LOOOOOVVVEEEES her sister.  Its really an understatement, really.  Has 2 teeth and 1 on the way.  Started on rice cereal. Always wakes with a rats nest because she MUST sleep with her face crammed into her blanket. Scrunches her nose and breathes rapidly in and out of it when shes excited or happy.  Its become her signature emblem.

-M is showing more of herself and personality everyday.  Its cute but along with that comes tantrums and cockiness(no thats not the right word...Sassy-ness).  Shes looks more and more like me everyday.  Bites her finger nails like daddy-hits herself when she's angry like daddy-hits left like her daddy-loves video games like her daddy- Loves her daddy.  Always up for playing "dollhouse".  Wants a puppy.(gulp)  Kisses us several times before departing and will kiss anywhere accessible.(she rarely has rants of spouting out words like this...but when she does its hilarious!!!)

-Sean is going back for a Masters come July and looking forward to getting his license.  Will begin working with his mother soon.  He used to be stressed alot...but something clicked and now he has faith in his Lord that if he does what he's asked...theres nothing to fear.  I love this guy.  I thank the Lord all the time for him. Great Father.  Husband in training...as am I a mother and wife in training.:o)

-As for Me?  I was called back to activity days leader over 8 yr olds.  Finding it difficult....motherhood that is.  Its nothing like what i viewed it as a child.  Self taught Crochet.  Realizing theres just not enough time in the day. I love my girls!  Truly blessed.  Trying out my green thumb.  Not always a success but i will make my way to the top(growing a garden).

I made a great new friend named Ashley last August;  a continual blessing from Him. Taking the Word of Wisdom a little more seriously. Got new tires; readying for our exciting trips.

"the girls"

I find myself saying this a lot as of late...
"I'll take the girls" or "can you watch the girls while i run to the store?" or "the girls this" or "the girls that"
It makes me so happy to introduce you to "the girls"...my girls:

M always can get this chick to crack a smile...and that there is something to smile about. :o)

I just love my girls
