Things To Remember

The girls have started a fascination with the toilet - specially clogging the toilet. Last night we had the missionaries over. After dessert the girls were upstairs playing - then it got quiet. I checked and sure enough they were in the bathroom putting whole rolls of toilet paper into the toilet. This is the third time in 48 hours they have done this. 

The girls love to sleep together - well its more Sydney climbing into the crib with London. They love it

Sydney today was playing with a ballon and said "mama you are swiper mama" and we played where I was taking it away and she would say "swiper no swipping"

I love London's little feet. I'm not a big feet person but London's little toes are so stinking adorable.

The girls are fully transitioned to taking showers - they are awesome and so much quicker.

Sydney is doing much better at school - the behavior episode lasted three weeks but now she is great. 

The girls also pretending to "work" like mommy by pretending to type in a computer.

Sydney has been asking me about her birthday - she sings happy birthday to herself often.

Almost every morning, Sydney will come into bed and cuddle with us. Its so sweet. She usually has to go to the bathroom after 5 minutes. 

Speaking of bathrooms - we no longer have to get her up at night to take her to the potty. She wakes up all by herself! It's amazing!!!

Tyson has little affirmations that he has the girls say in the morning. They say " I am a daughter of God" I' am smart because I study and read everyday. I love my family". It's amazing because even London has some of them memorized.

Today I heard Sydney tell London "I would help you get your binkie, but I need my hands my hold my doggie like this, see"

Last week when Sydney scrapped her knee she kept telling London "be careful with my leg, I got an ouchie and can't use it very well"

Tonight was my first big launch with Leslie. We pulled off a successful Webinar with almost 300 attendees. It was SOOO much work. I busted my booty to learn the program, integrate it with infusionsoft, teach Leslie and then actually run it. It was an amazing feeling to actually accomplish it. My business is constantly testing me and making me very uncomfortable but I am learning so much. I feel very grateful for it. Tyson has been amazing the last two days taking the girls at night so I can do the run throughs. So grateful for him!

Our Life Lately

Our life in one word. R.E.M.O.D.E.L.

For the most part everything we think about, spend money on, talk about, worry about - revolves around the house. I suspected it might be this way but i had no idea how exhausting it would be. 

Tyson and I are trying desperately to enjoy every little bit of time we have together. The girls are thankfully doing well - loving going to the house. Last week we had to keep using the white civic and it was so painful and annoying. This week we have our sweet van back and I am so thankful.

We are making progress thought. Work has been keeping me busy. I am working on learning how to run webinars for a client and also how to launch a new course. It has been a BIG learning curve. I am really anxious at night trying to get everything ready. This week we had two runs with the system and they have gone better and better. I'm excited for it to be done.

"mama I want 10 lollipops"

"London is poopy, I help her"

When you are turning on the light in the closet

"mama close your eyes ok, it's bright"

When I asked you why you were hurting books at school

"cause, it makes me happy"

me: What about your teachers?

"it makes them sad" 

When you want to see Handy Manny

"mom, I get Handy Manny TEN times (you put up all your ten little fingers)

When we drive by Goddard

"hey Mama, I see my skoo;"

Debbie and Gaylan Visit

Gaylan and Debbie left last night after staying a week with us. We were so sad.

We had quite a week. Tyson and Gaylan worked every day non stop 12 hours. They were animals. They finished putting up the new cealing, put up two walls, two doors, cleaned up the worksite and finished the pillar. 

Debbie and I helped with puddying the walls, pulling a bizzillion weeds and watched the girls. Debbie was also an angel and helped me do 4 test runs of my Webinar training. 

Debbie and I had lunch at Huckleberry's and Infinity Pizza. We also got massages at Massage Envy - spoiled! 

The girls loved their Grandma and Papa Gerber. Every morning they had a cute little gift or game for  the girls. During the middle of the week a weird spring snow storm passed  by and dropped 6 inches of snow but it was all melted the next day. 

We had a scary experience when the girls got into the Thyroid pills from Debbie and we think they ate some. We rushed them to Childrens Hospital where they were watched for 5 hours - thanks to prayers both girls were great and nothing was wrong. 

Debbie and I talked, as always, about everything. Debbie is so interesting to talk to and has such fresh views on life and parenting and marriage. I love talking to her. 

Saturday we had lunch with Tom Razo and we wen to three open house in the million dollar communities. We  picked up the girls and Papa Gerber took everyone to ice cream before the airport. Both girls cried when they left. It was so wonderful to see the girls really love them and connect with them. We were amazed at Gaylan's focus to get the house done - you could tell his love language was helping his son as much as possible. It was really humbling to see him work so hard.

Easter 2015

We had a great time at Tala's house on Saturday between conference. London did not really care but Sydney has such a blast! She scored big time. 

Sunday we went to the baby blessing for Evan with jay and Sarah. We then had a dinner with the stallings for Easter. We met our wonderful neighbors - Kristen and Tim. Their girls are just our age and so cute!!!

It was a wonderful day! We loved conference and it was nice to actually have Tyson home since he has been gone all day with the house, work and seminary.
