Lately

It's been too long since I posted about everyday happenings. So here they are-

1.Spencer is growing up. And getting so smart. The other day out of the blue he started counting with me. He is talking so much now and communicating wants and needs. How did this happen? Where did my baby go?






2. Timothy is my big boy. He started pre-school last week. He is in a 3 year old class that meets twice a week and he LOVES it! He asks to go to preschool everyday. We are still struggling with potty training. It has become fight with him. We'll take it in stride and keep working on it.

(he got his face painted like a cat at our ward fall festival)




3. I'm trying to be a better mother and play/spend time with my kids more. Yesterday we played chase around the house for a good hour. We loved it and had so much fun running and laughing and squealing, and of course, being caught and tickled.


4. More time spend with kids involves doing one-on-one time with each boy. I get time with Timothy alone when Spencer is napping. The other day we painted for 45 min. Timothy Loved it. I spend time with Spencer while Timothy is at preschool. Today we went to the park for an hour. Great fun!



5. I got a new calling at church. I am now the Primary Music Leader. It is going to be Awesome! Crazy and a lot of work, but tons of Fun! I'm Excited.


6. We've been making a more concerted effort to do daily family scriptures and prayer. Spencer and Timothy like to help read, and Timothy volunteers to pray almost every night.

7. We've also been trying to do more for Family Home Evening. We even made a chart together as a family! A few weeks ago we went to a free pumpkin patch and had lots of fun! (it's own post to come)




8. I'm still running a little bit. I did a 10K on Saturday. It was GREAT!









9. We really loved General Conference. I was actually able to watch and glean from it. I can't wait for the Ensign so I can read and re-read the talks.

 10. It seems that I always have 4 things on my daily to-do list- Laundry, dishes, Chickens, and bread. Laundry and dishes are never checked off (not a fan), I have an obligation to feed and water my chickens so I can get eggs! And bread, I guess it isn't so much a daily task as it is weekly or twice a week, but I really enjoy making bread for my family and I'm really grateful I can do it and that my bread is so yummy!
