Family, Teeth, Primary

Why is life so crazy busy right now? I'm having trouble finding the time to blog. We've had family here for 3 of the last 4 weeks (I guess that explains the busyness). Tige's mom and sister first, then 2 weeks later Tige's mom and dad came for a week. His dad was in meetings, while his mom and I spent the week shopping, playing games, making cards, and just had fun visiting. Then last week, all of my family was here at one time or another. We had a big family dinner at my house on Thursday with every one minus David's family, who came the next day. We had great food and great fun. Saturday when David was here, we went over to Clark's house and had an early Easter egg hunt in the back yard. The 5 kids had a blast finding eggs. Luckily we had the smarts to label the eggs with the kid's initials which prevented any meltdowns and catastrophies since they only got the eggs with their initial on them. This weekend we're off to Monticello for Easter.

Also, I have a new job at church--I'm the primary secretary. That's right up my alley--the typing and organization stuff, and I can keep an eye on Kason at church. I've been typing lots of lists, schedules, and rosters lately. I sometimes miss the pre-kid days when I was an awesome legal secretary so this will help me get my typing fix.

Abby has 2 teeth. Her first one appeared on Monday, March 23, and her 2nd last Friday April 3. She has started eating solids. She likes the rice cereal ok, but looks at me as if I'm crazy when I try to give her vegetables or fruits. (I had to read a book about how to start the solids--it's been so long since I did it with Kason I couldn't remember anything. How quickly we forget).

Kason has been learning about the body at preschool and brought home a little homemade medical kit. (Some things were "real" and some things were "fiction.") He was pretty excited to learn that his daddy uses the things from his kit everyday at work. Only about 6 more weeks of preschool. He'll be bummed when it's over--he loves it (so do I!)

Tige continues to workout several times a week at the gym, and the inches and pounds continue to melt off him. He's been saying the word "triathalon" a lot lately. Sounds like he might be doing one in 2009.

I wish I was back in Primary. RS is so boring. There is not enough singing or coloring going on there.

Things will get better. But it is so much fun to have family there. It is important for the little ones to bond with grandma and grandpa's if they never see them , how can they. The house cleaning can wait do the important things now.

Have fun in Monticello! We were just there for Spring Break. Sounds like your life is going well! Say hi to all the Taylors and Hazletons for me!

Good for Tige. I wish I had the motivation he does. I am glad you are liking your new calling. We are excited you are coming this weekend. It is going to be pretty crazy I am sure.
