March 27, 2011

Seth's cold last weekend ended up being two ear infections. And one of the ear drums had ruptured and the other looked like it was about to. But we got him on medicine and it cleared up quickly. Ruby got the cold and has had a runny nose all week, but no grumpiness or fever.

It looks like we're going to be able to move in next weekend! There are still a lot of things that could stop us, but we're moving ahead like it's all going to work out. We did the home inspection yesterday. And we have the financing all in place. So we're hoping everything comes together and we get to close on Wednesday the 30th. We're so excited for all the extra space!

Danny went to cub scout day camp this week. He was in heaven. He loved all of it so much. But best of all was the bb gun shooting.

My computer had trouble this week. It was at a repair place for three days, which was especially hard because we were trying to get paperwork back and forth for the financing. But it all worked out. At least I didn't have any pressing website projects.

We're still waiting to hear on our house! What a pain! We got approval from 2 of the 3 loans, but the third one was supposed to let us know last Wednesday and still nothing. But we got the financing part started. So if we get the approval early this week there is still a chance to close by March 30. I'm really hoping for that. Then we'll move in on April 2. Our loan guy says we have about a 60% chance. But if not then, I hope it'll be the next week so we can move in on April 8. But that's really the last weekend that will work well because the week after that, Ruby and I are flying to Utah to stay with Wendy and go to a Power of Moms retreat. And then the weekend after that is when all my family is coming for Easter. So I really hope things work out well for us.

Seth has a cold today. He woke up with a fever last night. So the babies and I are staying home from church today. I was supposed to teach sunday school, but Bob is going to do it for me. Hopefully it'll be a fast cold and we'll all be back to health soon.

We're fully back into tennis and baseball. Our weekends are so full. It's hard to imagine how we're going to handle things when Seth and Ruby have activities too.

Aaron is doing so well at preschool. He's reading now. He can sound out words and he loves it. We went to U-swirl friday night to celebrate it. And Danny and Rachel got their 2nd trimester report cards. We went to Krispy Kreme because they give a free donut for every A. Rachel got straight A's and Danny only got 1 B.

March 13, 2011

Two weeks ago we went to Visalia for the weekend to visit. Gma Monte and Gpa Gene were visiting my mom, so we went too and Ryan and Venessa and Kristal. It was fun to see them. It rained all weekend. We went shopping and to a children's museum in Visalia.

Last week we were at home, but I was working on our family year book in my free time on Sunday. I finally got that done and printed for 2010. We've been healthy still. We've gone to church for a month. We are really being blessed. It's so wonderful to all be healthy! And Seth has got to go to nursery enough that he's starting to do ok when we leave him.

Seth is also doing great going to BJ's. He has a great time there. This week when Aaron left for a playgroup, Seth asked to go to BJ's--he thinks that's his friend's house. So cute. And Ruby started taking a bottle for BJ so both of them are happy there. It's great. I should be using some of the time to work, but I've just been going to the gym to take classes when I drop off the kids.

Today is Bob's birthday. Kenton and Joe came this week to go to the Mountain West Conference with him. It's so great how that is always right by his birthday. He loves going and having friends come go with him.

I've been reading my scriptures with a notebook again. It's amazing how easy it is to get promptings when that book is open and I say a prayer first. I have to really work to find time while Ruby is sleeping and Seth is entertained, but it's such a blessing when I do.

We're still waiting to hear on our house. I'm getting so anxious to move. Ruby is four months now. She needs her own bedroom so bad. She still sleeps in her carseat in our bathroom or in our bed. We were told we'd probably hear by last friday, but we didn't. All we heard was that the Bank increased their price from $230 to $235, 000. Which, of course, we accepted because we're (I'm) so ready to get into a bigger house.
