School, here I come!

So I've decided to head back to school!

Those of you that know me, know that I have always always always wanted to go to beauty school. Looking back now I regret that I didn't go a long time ago, ya know, before I had kids. Then, I was going to go, then I found out I was pregnant with Payton, and I told myself I just couldn't do it, with 2 kids and one on the way. Well, here I am 3 kids and one on the way and I'm just gonna do it! I'm gonna jump in there and get it done or I'll just keep putting it off. I was always planning on going to MATC because they're super close, and super cheap. Well, I found out that they're moving. They're not moving too far, but it's far enough that I don't want to drive that far.

So one day I was playing on line, looking up schools to see if I could get some info on prices. Well, needless to say none of them list school costs on line. I came across this school in AF, on the hospital road. That is super close to my house. I had never heard of it before. So I had to go in and check it out because of course, there wasn't a whole lot of info on line. So I went in there and met with the owners, and they are super nice. It's a really new school, so it's not too big yet. They were also running a special, $9,000 off tuition. It was still more then what I wanted to pay, but it is better then any other school, that I know of at least. But my favorite part is that they are going to be super flexible with me since ya know, I have almost 4 kids. The first 8 weeks are full time, and then after that it's just 4 hours a day. 4 hours! I can do that. But on days that my husband is home I'm going to go all day so I can get done sooner. It starts June 22. So this summer is going to be kind of crazy busy, but I just need to do it. It felt so comfortable being there and I just had the strongest feeling that I just needed to jump in and do it. So that's what I'm doing. I haven't looked into student loans yet, but hopefully that will happen tomorrow, and if I'm supposed to go then everything will fall into place. Not that I want to get ANOTHER loan, but I feel ok about it since the prophets have said it's ok to do it for school. But then it just makes me feel guilty about all of our other debt. But isn't that why I'm going to school? Yes.

Anyway, that's my life as of right now. I'm positive I will be needing models so if you're interested, let me know!!

1 Year check up

Payton went in for his one year check yesterday. Poor baby. He got the regular 4 shots, but the doctor also wanted to take blood and run some tests because he's so little. He weighs 15 lbs 6 oz. He gained ALMOST a pound in 3 months. The doctor said that for him to be in the 5th percentile he needs to weigh 19 lbs. He's not on the charts right now. He's been gaining weight, just not very much so he's hasn't really been on the charts at all anyway. So he wants to check for things like anemia. He didn't say what else he was checking for but I know there's other things. So then the nurse at the doctors office tried to take blood from him, but her needle wasn't small enough. So then we had to go to the hospital and have the other arm poked. Poor kid, he got poked so many times. But he's doing good today. We have to just try and bulk him up. Give him lots of fatty food and try and make him gain weight. But besides being small, everything else was great. Developmentally and everything. The doctor doesn't think anything is wrong with him because he's happy and healthy, so the only reason we're doing the tests is because of the numbers. I don't think anything is wrong with him either. I think he's just small. But we'll see how the tests come back.

Sorry Everyone

So I guess I need to apologize to all my friends and family. Yes, we're having another child. We haven't made a big official announcement. We (at least I) feel like people are probably sick of hearing that we're having ANOTHER one. It's old news. Surprise Surprise. We have just told the people who see us all the time because there's really no hiding it anymore. But I didn't feel like I was far enough along to make an announcement. I'm 12 weeks now. I look like I'm 5 months though. At least that's how I feel I look. So here's your announcement everyone. I'm sorry if people felt left out or offended. Now you know. The due date is Oct. 27. Hopefully it will be before that though. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Baby Birds?!

So, the other day was really nice outside. I've been feeling a little better so I decided to clean the house. Since it hasn't been cleaned in weeks. Over the last few weeks, occasionally when I go into our bath room I've been startled by what I thought was a bird in the window sill, but then I just brush it off as our house being so dirty that's it's just leaves caught in the window sill. Ya know how bathroom windows are like foggy so you can't see in or out. So I just saw this pile in corner that I thought was crap I guess. I only saw it at certain times of the day though. Probably mostly evening when the shadow was just right. Anyway, I was going through the house opening windows to air out the house and I got to my bathroom, didn't think anything of it, opened the window, and this bird flies away. Scared me to DEATH. So after I calm down, I looked out my window to see this-

A nest! I was so right! So I got up on my tippy toes to peak in and see this-

It's kinda hard to see, but there's eggs in there, little blue ones! I tries to leave the window open for a while, but the mom wouldn't come back until the window was shut. So now I don't want to open my window because I don't want to give her a heart attack every time I open it. But when those babies hatch it's going to be so annoying. I will hear them all the time, I hope they learn to fly soon. I'll try to get pictures of them when they hatch and show everyone.

That's just what it looks like from the outside. I'm really nervous that my kids are going to pull those branches that are hanging down and kill them. I hope they stay away.

That's the mom. She didn't go too far.

Easter 2010

This is us coloring Easter Eggs. She had on "gloves" when we finished! We have more pictures coming. Were not doing our Easter Egg Hunt until Saturday.

So this is Payton's newest trick. He climbs on everything now!! He's such a NERD!

Sorry it's sideways. This is the first movie I've done on here and I didn't know you couldn't turn it. Sorry.
