8.25.14

it's been a while. i've failed miserably. so updates.

hyrum is talking now. only me and lance understand it but he's talking. he can count and is a super dishes helper. he loves dishes and playing outside and cows and horses. we took him to the rodeo and he loved it. he was in a trance through the whole thing. he also loves four wheelers and anything on the farm. he's going to be a good helper to his grampa kurt…once he's not scared of him. he's slowly getting there. he actually talks to him now. he's still weary of him. hyrum's favorite friend is his cousin Maverick. they love each other and it makes me happy. when aimee starts school in a couple of weeks i'm going to be watching Mav every other day and i'm really excited for that. i usually only watch him for church while aimee play's in primary and rhett teaches. him and hyrum talk to each other and it's gibberish but they seem to understand what they mean

lance is still working at the feedlot. it's been awesome to have this job for him. he gets to fix things all day and he loves it. and he's got some good guys to work with. the insurance has been amazing too. he's been doing really well and hyrum loves him. they go play together and i love it. we went to the temple the other day and decided that we need to go more and we're going to shoot for at least once a month. Lance is very excited for our little girl to get here. i have my boy and he wants his girl. hyrum is such a mamas boy that he feels left out sometimes so he wants his daddy's girl. he's also really excited for the ruffles and flowers and lace. there was a little girl in one of our wards and she always wore big poofy dresses and i think that started the clothing obsession for him. well obsession is a strong word. he is just really excited to dress her in poofy dresses and ruffles and lace. 

(note on the beard) he wanted to grow it out till new years but when we went to the temple he decided he wanted to be cleaner shaved so he trimmed it up.

i am obviously pregnant. this one is way better than the last 2. i actually gained 20 pounds! so i don't get yelled at for that. i like not getting scorned for my weight…it's not like i can help it. they did discover that i'm anemic. no big deal i just take iron pills. and i have a lot more energy and i can actually clean my house without passing out or getting sick. i love that. my favorite part of cleaning my house is making the list. i love lists.
(note on the list) we were going to go grocery shopping but he left a little too late and i had to work before he was going to be home so he went instead so i had to make my list understandable for him. he actually did really well by himself! and yes…those are post it notes

i recent got a job at a recovery clinic out in Bridge. i'm excited for that. i feel like it'll be a good job for me to have. lance got on out there too so we'll be working together…but separately so someone can be home with the kids all the time. i've been a lot happier lately for a number of reasons. it's been good to always smile and laugh again. i forgot how funny i think i am. i crack myself up on a daily basis. i'm going to try to blog more often seeing out it's more like a journal to me and one day i'm going to make a book out of it. not like a novel. i'm not the good or interesting but one of those memory books. that would be awesome.
