New Template




Okay, so Brandon thought my blog was boring, so I decided to jazz it up a bit (thanks, Lacey, for the idea!). Also, here are a few pics of my hubby and my girlies. I'm a lucky girl, huh?

I was wrong!

Okay, here it is. . . it looks like I was wrong yet again! (It just seems like I am always wrong!) The girls (and Brandon, of course!) got it right. . . we are having another girl. Three little girls! Can you imagine?

Spring Cleaning!

Okay, I know for all you Utah and Colorado- ites, it doesn't seem quite like spring yet, but here in the desert we definately have spring on the way. Have you ever noticed how liberating it is to get rid of things? It is kind of like paying off a your car, or breaking a bad habit. You now have one less thing to take care of, to find room for, to clean, etc. Brandon is an expert at getting rid of things. And since he has a little more time at home now, he has been gung-ho about de-junking our home. (Have you ever thought about how much stuff we bring into our house each week? To keep the status quo, we should be getting rid of as much as we bring home!) So, we have gotten through everything (whew!), but now comes the hard part. Being that we are "starving students," I try to make money on all of our un-wanted items. That means ebaying!!! And while part of me enjoys it, it is a hassle to organize your junk, take pics, box it, weigh it, post it, ship it, etc. So, if any of you are looking for a good deal on someone else's old stuff, check out our ebay listings!!! ;0)

Addiction

I cannot believe that I am actually writing that word in reference to me, but it is true. I am officially addicted to sugar, candy, chocolate, whatever. Brandon and I have been trying to eat healthier (new year's resolution), and I have been doing pretty good, but then this week, I got some new "potty treats" for Kamber, and guess who is eating them!!!! MEEEE!!!! I am so determined not to gain so much weight with this pregnancy (50 pounds is WAY too much!), but if I don't get Kamber finished with potty training soon, I will be gaining 60 pounds! And I might not be able to keep my husband around after that. AHHHHH! I can't believe how difficult life can be when you really don't have anything difficult going on (if that made any sense).

Milestone!

Okay, I am officially calling Kamber potty trained. Hooray! It seems like it has taken forever!!!! We started back in like June or so and have been off and on since. I think she finally figured it out this week though. She has kept a dry "Pull-up" for five days now. Just for future reference, for anyone who wants some ideas, the thing that worked with Kamber was setting a timer for about 1 hour. Everytime it went off she would go in and go potty. It became a game and worked much better than me just telling her it was time to go. (I would say, "Kamber, do you need to go potty?" Kamber: "No, I fine." (with ATTITUDE!!)) Where do these little people come from anyway???
