Okay, I know it's been almost forever since I updated this thing, there has just been a lot going on, and like I've said before being on the computer is not one of my favorite things. I suppose I"ll start with Lance and work my way down to Mia.
Lance- Is still a wonderful Husband and father, he is still with UoP and just got a new manager and is liking things a lot better his old one was getting some pressure put on her and in turn was making things pretty miserable for everyone around her, but this new manager seems to be great and just what Lance needs.
His calling at church is with the Adventure Scouts, so he works with all the priests and one teacher who has his Eagle already, there are only 3 boys total but Lance has a really good time with them, sometimes randomly they will show up at our house at night just to hang out with Lance, last Wed. 2 of them came and we all went to sonic and took advantage of their $1 large drink/slush deal. It was fun to see how Lance really cares for the boys and their well being. I also think that's kinda cool that he has that kind of relationship with his guys that they feel like they can just show up like that.
Lance is also busy house hunting, that's right, we are going to buy a house! I'm so excited, because he has all this special access through his investing stuff to foreclosure lists and the MLS he finds the houses, I give them the O.K. then we go look at them together, so far we have put offers in on 6 houses, and have finally had one accepted, but it is a short sale which means it needs not only the homeowners acceptance (which is what we have) but it also needs the banks approval, and that can take up to 3 weeks (only 2 left to wait) We just looked at another one last night and are putting an offer on it as well today, so this keeps us busy.
Kelli- I am very pregnant, actually does anyone remember what I looked like when I was pregnant with Mia, totally huge and swollen, it was awful. I gained 50 lbs. with her, I only lost 20 lbs, after I had her and so far this pregnancy I have gained -2 lbs. That's right you do see a negative sign, I've lost 2 lbs. and I am not complaining one bit. But I am WAY more tired than I was with Mia, I'm so grateful that she takes a 3 hour nap, because it allows me to take a long nap too. I have 7 weeks left and can not wait!
My callings are as a member of the Enrichment committee, and I am also the food storage specialist assistant, I love them both. in a few days I am doing an enrichment on how to sneak veggies into everyday foods like hamburgers and Popsicles, that's right I have become the average everyday Jessica Seinfeld, I took some of her ideas and mad them my own and my stuff is pretty good, if I don't say so myself. If you want to see some recipes or anything, just let me know and I"ll do a post about it.
Mia- Is lovely, sweet, happy, sassy, and 2. She is finally starting to talk more, I was getting worried for a while, but I can tell already that someday (probably soon) I'll just want her to stop talking. She is not potty trained, not for lack of trying though, we have tried several times with Zero success, so in the mean time we keep buying diapers. Some of her loves are water, it doesn't matter where, it could be in a sink with a stool, on the shower ore tub, splash park ore pool, she just loves water. When ever I put her swimsuit on her he always jumps up and down saying yay, yay, yay. She also loves Nemo & would watch it everyday if I let her, but I can only handle so much so we have broadened her horizons to Little Mermaid, Meet the Robinson's, Tarzan, and Lilo & Stitch which are some of the others she will actually sit through. She has a major sweet tooth, and getting her to eat dinner is almost always a battle. She is super sweet with "beebee buda" (baby brother) I'm not sure if she totally realizes what baby brother is or what it means but she is still very sweet with my belly. She loves to sing, even though we can't understand what she is singing about, and she is starting to play pretend, it is so cute.
That's about it for now I guess, I will put pictures in soon I promise. My mom is sending me some because I don't have any due to my broken camera, but I did get a new one for mothers day, but seem to have misplaced it already.
