Life has been crazy. We have moved to Richland. We were in the process of trying to buy a house, and in the last minute, it fell through over stupid stuff. Thankfully it wasn't our stupid stuff, but the house's stupid stuff. We were sad. And everyone once in a while I think we almost had . . . . But we found a nice A house in Richland. We are loving having a yard again. I very much enjoy having a washer and dryer here at the house--even if we are on our 3rd set since moving in. That's what I get for buying craigslist, but it's been good to us for the last few houses we've been in. We are not cut out to live in apartments anymore!! And it seems like we moved into the ward we need to be in for now. We have felt home here a lot quicker than most places we've moved. And for that, we are very grateful. Even if occassionally we miss good friends in other wards.
One week after moving, we had Kolten. I have posted some about him. I am hoping to catch up soon. I know I have needed to be better about journal. Guess what--here is where I journal. Blogger for a while wouldn't let me add anymore pictures--and that through off my grove. But they are letting me now--so here we go again. Right now, he is 10 months old. He is big compared to my girls. 21 1/2 lbs. I don't know what I am going to do as his little sibling grows bigger and bigger in my tummy. Carrying him up and down the stairs winds me already!!
Have I mentioned, we got a surprise just after Valentines Day and we are expecting another little-- I hope--boy. And so far, things are going better than feared with this pregnancy.
I am not working as a home care provider. I am enjoying having my schedule freed up more. And I am trying to keep a cleaner house and be a better mother than I feel I've been the last few years. I still do papers--but only the Horn Rapids area now. It's a good route. I hate getting up every morning so early, but I appreciate the income, and it's a good route. We still occassionally get calls from our other route.
Todd is working for PCS as a driver. He enjoys it. He runs stuff, mostly car parts but sometimes other stuff too, to Lewiston, ID and several towns surrounding it like Clarkston, Cottonwood, and such. Although it is good work, it is a 14 hour day 5 days a week. He gets up at the same time I do. And it is wearing on us. The upside, we like the overtime pay. He makes more in overtime than he does in straight time--and for now between the two we are making our bills.
God has been good to us. Kaylyn is becoming quite the big girl. She is mostly potty trained. And she loves to follow her sisters around, although she enjoys while they are at school too. It sounds like she is up playing with her brother now.
Kolten is about to start walking soon. He just got his first two teeth and have several others trying to come up. He is sweet and happy. It's nice for me that he is such a good baby.
Karla and Kylee have done chess club this year. Todd enjoys playing with them. It's a game Todd and I enjoyed as kids. Although Todd and I have never played each other....hmmm. It is amazing to watch as these girls grow and develop. It's hard to believe how grown up they are. Karla was just baptized, but I'll talk about that in my next post.
For now, it's time to get back up and go back to work. But next time I have to sit down and relax I hope to update some more.
