Update

This will be just a random post to avoid doing homework!

Ummm we'll start with beau, he is off this semester from school, and working as an Internet installer. he works 10-14 hour days so we don't see him much but he always makes overtime which is nice when the paycheck comes. I'm taking 12 credits this semester, which is keeping me even more busy than I normally would be with 3 kids. Luckily for me, I have a great friend that helps watch my kids while I'm in class and doesn't mind doing dishes when she comes over and is bored, and I let her, I don't make her, I just let her. This takes great effort on my part because I can't stand letting people help me, so It's good for me.I'm learning to relax and take it as it comes.I squeeze homework in where i can and got a laptop so i can sit kids on the couch put on a movie and then I can do my homework with out them destroying the house! Daniel is doing well at school, he talked the aid in his class to write in answers on his math sheet, only to come home and have it erased and had to do it again, I sent a note the next day, he now does his own work.lol Emma is starting a pre k workbook here at home, and does amazing of course Nate wants homework too so we just photo copy pages. my goal is to have her reading by the time she goes to school, I talked with the principal about this and he said go for it! She is also doing great in Ballet and I think is the best in the class, her teacher said she does wonderful! I'm so proud of her. She now dances every time music is on. Nathan regressed a little when we moved and was having accidents everyday more than once a day, I was at my end when I decided to start over with the potty training we did a sticker chart, and lots of praise, and he's been dry for a week and a half including nights! hurray! his motivator attention! Daniels was movies, Emma was easy, Nate's like attention. now that I've figured that out life should be easier! He also is just trying to keep up with everything Emma does. we are enjoying having a back yard all to ourselves, and a washer and dryer in our house. I love all the space I have again! I can survive school now that we have room to spread out. Shannon and Emily can tell you how small my apt was and how claustrophobic it had become. We are enjoying Rexburg much more than last year, but it is still warm out ask me in march if I still like it! We are throwing a Halloween party this year I've always wanted to but never have, so this year we are inviting our friends and dressing up it should be fun! I can't wait!Anyway that's all ,off to do homework!

Emma's a Ballerina!


Today was Emma's first day of Ballet. I thought she was going to be really shy and not want to talk but she did wonderful! Not shy at all and did everything she was asked to do. I might be a little bias but I think she was the most graceful and did and awesome job! I'm so proud of her!
