yes i am still out here



I know you have all been dying to hear what is going on in my life and not hearing anything for 4 months had been killing you so I thought I would write a little something while I am at my mom's downloading some pictures since i don't have a real computer with internet access.

I had my ultra sound in February, I think. And if you didn't already know, we are having a boy. That took me sometime to get use to the idea of having a boy. Now we are working on getting the nursery ready for him and trying to buy clothes since we have nothing for a baby boy. Rusty has started to plan the bedroom in the basement that he is going to start to build for Carters so the baby can move out of Taylor's room and into carter's when he turns one. And no we do mot have a name picked out. That is a really hard one.

Taylor is getting so big. First she started climbing out of her crib in January so we moved her to the toddler bed. Then lately she figured out how to open doors, that is horrible when it comes to getting her to take a nap. I put a knob cover on her room door, but she still manages to open her door when she really wants out. She is so mischevious and climbs on everything. If she wants something she will figure out a way to get it.


Jordyn is growing fast and has such a fun loving personality. Sometimes too loving. The other day as we were walking into a store she went up to a man that kind of looked homeless and said hi and gave him a hug. She will talk to anyone, especially if they have a dog. She says some of the funniest things. She does need to work on being softer with people and respect peoples personal bubbles. I was going to sign her up for soccer this spring, because she has so much energy to burn, but I totally missed sign ups. I'm really sad a did that.


Alexis loves everything she gets into. She was excited to play soccer again, but I guess that will have to wait til fall. She loves school and does great in it. She can spell her name, knows all her ABC's and sounds and loves to draw and write letters for people. And loves all the new friends that she gets to play with in the neighborhood.



Carter played Jr. Jazz to the first time this spring and really enjoys playing football. Rusty put the basketball hoop up for him to get to play in the front yard. And he is doing really well in school.
In January we went on a long awaited family trip. Rusty was so in need of a vacation after all the many many hours he put in working and working on the house at the same time. It was a lot of fun and the girls were so excited to meet all the princesses and fairies.

We have loved being in our new house. Some days it is still hard to believe it is ours. And we have currently started working on our yard. I'm excited, but i think Rusty is dreading it.
