doesn't mean everything is perfect.
It means you've decided to see beyond the

well my mom won't let me have a blog so she told me i could write on hers.if my mom thinks that a girl my age(10) shouldn't have a blog then i wonder what goes through her head.i wonder if she dreams that she is a gorilla riding on a unicorn off into the sunset.(that is what one of my friends teachers said on face book!)well until i find out i want to tell you this,
my brother Connor recently started wearing skirts.
it doesn't help that today when my dad told me that he and Connor were out side when some boys came to get a boy that lives next door to us.and when they did they went away laughing. at first my dad said that he though nothing of it but then he noticed that Connor was wearing a skirt.he told Connor that he is a boy not a girl but then Connor said that he wants to be a girl but my dad said that he cant be a girl because he is handsome but Connor said no I'm pretty handsome! PS my dad was telling this to us.
well until the next time my mom/dad lets me go on the computer,
KAITLYN HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

Well...things are moving along with the purchase of our house! We had Brandon's cousins husband Larkin Palmer do our home inspection this week. He is the best of the best...very thorough and very experienced. We value his opinion a lot. He did the inspection on our Player Dr. house and just raved about the house and found nothing wrong with it. This house has a few minor issues which thankfully, the owners have agreed to fix. But, he told us that even if we made all the repairs ourselves, he'd still recommend we buy the house. That was comforting.
What else went on this week?
I had a doctor's appointment. I met Dr. Holmes for the first time. I like him. A few of my friends go to him and they have loved him as their doctor...so I figure I am in good hands. He asked me if I know a Joey Flake...(he is Brandon's first cousin). He then told me that he knows Joey's wife's (Paula's) family really well. So...it's still a small world I guess...even when you live in the city. Anyhow. My appointment went well. I am (as of last Tuesday) dilated 1cm and 75% effaced. I have another appointment this Tuesday. I am lucky because my brother and his wife (Sam and Lainie) live right by my doctor's office. Lainie has agreed to watch my boys for me when I go to my visits. The boys had a blast with Sam and Lainie. They made clay figures and watch cartoons together! :) I think Weston and Connor will be disappointed when they don't get to go over once a week to hang out!
Hmmm....what else did we do this week?
The girls made it through their second week at their new school. They are getting used to the change. We talk about how they will have to change schools again and how now they know that it takes a couple of weeks to adjust. The girls are being real troopers with these major changes. We also took the kids out to see the new house while Larkin was doing the inspection. They like the house and are excited for the big back yard and trees!
Kaitlyn also got to go to her cousin Kara's birthday party this week. They randomly ended up in the same class at school! We didn't even know that the school I signed the girls up in was the school Kara went to! Kara is Brandon's cousin Kaija's oldest daughter. Adelin is the same age as Kara's sister Brooklyn. They play together at recess. I am sure glad for the tender mercy the Lord blessed us with for Adelin and Kaitlyn to have some family at school! They are very used to having cousins at school with them.
I found a thrift store that I like here. I got some deals on a few things to add to my "fat clothes" collection...so I will have something to wear after the baby is born. I am going to go back tomorrow because Monday is $1 day!
Friday, the boys and I went to the park with Tiffany and her kids and the little boy she babysits. They had fun running around and swinging. It is nice to be able to get together with my sister and do something spur of the moment! We have never lived near each other with us both being mothers. It's fun. The highlight of that trip was when we were leaving. A man got out of his truck...we thought he looked a little strange and were glad we were leaving. As we were loading the kids up...we saw the guy had a long piece of yarn....tied around a cat! He was taking his cat for a walk. You don't see that everyday.
Brandon and I were able to go on a date Friday night, thanks to my parents who watched the kids. Date nights are super important to us and it'll be a while before we can go out without taking the baby with us...so we were grateful for the alone time!
Then Saturday we got to go hang out with our friends the Bushman's. Jami invited us to the "Burger Bash" they were having at their house. She and Rick went all out with every burger topping you could think of...green chili sauce, onions, onion rings, bacon...you name it. It was good food and good company. Our kids get a long great together...so they just all played and played. Our kids didn't want to leave when it was time to go. I am so glad for good friends!!!
Oh. So, Connor has decided he wants to be potty trained. He has worn under wear all day today...even to church and hasn't had an accident yet (and it's almost 8 p.m.) He just decided yesterday morning that he wants to wear underwear. He peed his pants about 3 or 4 times...and I had to wash out pooey undies once. Potty training him was not on my "to do" list at ALL. I really don't like potty training. But, I guess he's ready...(for now). I don't think it would be wise for us to discourage him.
This is a long post. That's because it's Super Bowl Sunday. Brandon's watching the game and I'm bored! lol!
Happy Birthday to my Grandpa Barrett. I believe he is 87 today. :)
