Hey!

My poor neglected personal blog.

It has been a busy couple of months for us.  We  moved across the country, my husband started a new job.  We moved in with my grandparents.  Monkey went to another preschool.  We got involved with Mothers Day, raised money for a St. Jude Trike a Thon, visited family in the Tri-Cities.  Got an offer on our house in the south, dealt with all the hoopla that comes with getting an offer on the house. We bought our first house as a foreclosure so I wasn't used to all the back and forth that can happen on an offer.  I got a new calling in our brand new - although temporary- ward of relief society teacher.  We started house hunting in the area.  Keep the prayers coming on our house.  We are hoping it will close so we can move into another one!

Our children are growing like little weeds.   Monster has two bottom teeth, with two top ones poking through.  He can army crawl around  like a champ and even occasionally gets up and crawls on his knees.  It was fun to watch him get on his hands and kness and rock back and forth for a while.  He goes from tummy to sitting wtih no problem.  He keeps trying to pull up to his feet.  We are completely doomed!  He had a little weight hiccup for several months.  But he gained 1.4 pounds between 7.5-8.5 months.  We were all happy with that, then he put on almost 2 pounds in 2 weeks!  Woo hoo!

Monkey is a big girl.  I'm really happy with that way she uses words and her imagination for play.  Her current favorite book is Dazzle the Dinosaur followed by In a People House and occasionally My Birthday, Jesus' Birthday.  Her favorite friend is Brynwyn and her cousin Lyla.  She loves being 4 and likes to do everything in fours.

I can't believe June will be over tomorrow.  My word of the month was Attitude... I didn't think about it much.  :)
