We are alive...

I have been really bad at blogging I need to be better since this is my type of journaling. Things have been crazy! We had Kaleb's birthday, had my sister visit for a month from California, Sammy's surgery, moved into a house we are renting, visited family in St George, I am still doing school, and Tim just started his Master's program at the U. I am trying to be better at managing my time so that I don't put the blog on the back burner.
Kaleb: He an I are so ready for school to start back up. He loves soccer, skateboarding, coloring and practicing writing his name and other letters. He still takes naps and am grateful he still does. He is starting to enjoy helping around the house with making his bed, setting the table and taking the trash out! He can ride his bike without training wheels and can also get going on his bike with no help!!! He is growing up too fast. He is also such a big help with Sam and loves him so much! He loves Jacob too but sometimes it is hard to tell.
Jacob: He loves to keep up with his brother! He is such a funny boy and keeps us on our toes. He is a very loving boy, but has a little bit of a temper that creeps out every once in awhile. He talks like crazy and is always saying something that makes us laugh. He is loved by many. When we move out of wards people are always sad to see him leave. (on a side note) one fast Sunday a lady was up bearing her testimony well sort of, he was calling people in the ward to repent and telling us her children were so quiet in sacrament and us mothers needed to do better. Our cute Jacob started walking up the isle, he turned around and I pointed at him and told him to come back, he looked right at me smiled and took of running and laughing all the way up and around the hole chapel until I caught him at the back. I was mortified. After thinking about once I got home I had to laugh at Jacob's timing. Later I was told that Jacob was inspired and that it was just what was needed. The tension in the room lifted when many saw that cite not run and laugh down the isle. Anyways Jacob is a big help when he wants to be. He is potty trained yeah! He was harder than Kaleb was to potty train, but it wasn't too bad. He is also much more mischievous than Kaleb, he makes us grateful to have insurance and I am sure we will get our money's worth with him. We can't imagine life with out him. He has such a big imagination and love the things he comes up with.
Samuel: he is the best baby ever! He sleeps great, hardly cries even then he sometimes still smiles. He is crawling and trying to pull himself to standing. He loves his brothers, daddy and dogs and of course he is very much a momma's boy! We also finally for sure got a baby with blue eyes!!! He looks so much like Tim! He truly is a blessing and am so grateful we were sent this little boy even though we weren't ready for him.
Tim: he is working hard for our little family and is doing the MSIS program at the U he will finish next December! He is enjoying running and loves taking care of our first garden! I am truly blessed to have such an amazing husband and father to my children.
Me: I am surviving! 3 boys is a lot of work but luckily they are pretty good kids!!! I am one semester closer to being done with school. I have 5 more general Ed classes to finish and them will be into my Early Childhood classes.
