I got interrupted so many times yesterdya I just finally just posted the message :). We'll see how much I can get down today. Today is Saturday, 2 more days until my baby is 1. Crazy to think this may be my last 1year old birthday, last baby. I feel so blessed lately, so thankful for my babies, so glad Adam found me. So we are stuck with a lot payment and a pretty good load of debt and I threw out of Craigslist our home for rent and that's how we rented it to Paul the painter. I think he was a blessing. So then Crystal said what about Hills and I said OH YEAH! Its working out so good for us, we LOVE this house so much better than shipleys. The pantry, HUGE garage, it's nice. It's mor e80's of course, older but we really like it. I wonder what's next. :) Funny how it always feels so up in the air for us.

Adam signed us up for a Dave Ramsey University class, once a week, 13 weeks. I'm super excited about it. I am not the best budgetter but I'm getting better. I just broke the bank, of course, at th Old Navy sale but it really is the only big shopping I do all year so :) I justify. I was joking with someone telling them that in a wee tense moment Adam said how are we going to pay for the Old Navy sale, and I can't remember what I told him but I told my friend, I was like, I don't know, you're the one with a job! :) Truth is the bill stresses me out too, I can still return it so I just have to get Adam to try on his stuff so I can get the return pile going and do it! Sam and Maril and Keel and Saviah and Jacq and Zo came up a 10 days ago. Super fun! I have not very good guest accomodations, I'm sad to say. I'm working on that. Maril thinks she got bed bug bites- Sam's sofa bed that lays flat has a big ridge down the middle, blow up bed didn't hold air. Bummer. We'll get more good beds one day. Anyway, it was right before we moved over to Hills. We made food, ate, took walks. One day Sam took all the kids to a walk to Hills ( minus Macy) b/c we were out of t.p. and we had already brought a case over. It was over an hour later and out the window we could the big girls coming back and we're like where is Sam. Anyway he trails behind them eventually and when he comes in says that the last time I'll do something like that without a cell phone! BAHHHAAAA! He said everyone was having a great time and then they could smell an awful stench and Levi had pooped down his leg and out his pants a little. So Sam got him in the tub, cleaned him up a bit with virtually no tools, and then came home with the poopy boy and the t.p. Funny moment for a single guy. Sam took us to stockmans, said order whatever, it was a very fun time, Adam and Sam and Corey Reed went showmobiling at the ranch, Sam's first time, Adam said Sam and everyone had a blast. That's a fun thing to be able to offer guests!
Now moving on to more recent stuff...I get to play the organ every other week in church. I really like the opportunity but I should not put off practicing like I do. I have a church key so I can practice, need to use it more. I'm also activities for enrichment girl. I've passed around signups to see what people are interested in and we're getting a recipe swap and healthy living clss going, and lots of others, I think it will be very enriching and fun. This 16th ward is wonderful. Sooo many young nice girls. OH! I started 2 things this month: painting with pastels and womens ballroom. I really enjoy both! For my last night out I went to winco, of course, got stuck at the bulk department, told Maril, she said I know, you don't have to help boost my testimony- I LOve winco. It's a joke that when we get to go out together we always go on a date to winco and see all the goods in the bulk department- b/c once she said so loud- oh! You got groats? I don't even know what those are but you have them?! Funny. Anyway, after groceries went to Brittany Allens and she's a wonderful artist! We found something on the internet for me to try to copy and it was so fun. We talked and painted....very relaxing. I'm going to find something I really love and try to copy it big for my home. Go big or go home right? Granny says don't smack, right? (Zoe) It's 4:52 a.m. been up for an hour or more with Macy. better get her to bed before she wakes everyone else up. She's getting so fun. She's been so sick and stone faced for over a week, it's like an awakening to see her have expression, smile and she always waves her little hand(s) from the wrist side to side and nodds her head up and down. She's adorable.

I just got a notebook out to hand write some journal stuff and I think I'll just try out blogging. I can type so much faster than I can write, even though I still hunt and peck, as my Dad calls it. This month has been fun, crazy and over so fast. We've all been sick at some point. Went to Utah, played with Mars and family for New Years, went to Rockapella, I got sick and got the shakes sooo bad and then I sorta got well after a week and then I've been sickish off and on since. We rented out our Shipley house and moved into Hill's old house- they got divorced and it was sorta empty and needs new paint and some siding finished so we worked out a deal that I think is great for both of us
