Lately

Life has been super busy.

- Rob has more and more going on with the route, because sales are increasing with our added store (Sam's Club) it is getting harder to get all the deliveries that are constantly needed.  We have 8 grocery stores now rather than 7.  He has someone work with him on Mondays and Wednesdays so he can do a crazy amount of deliveries, but we just hired someone else to work Tuesdays and Thursdays with him.  It's either this or split the route (which is what they want us to do, but we're trying to hold on to it with just adding employees).
-I am doing the route saturday and sundays so Rob watches the kiddos those mornings we "switch" roles for the weekend.
-I just finished an anatomy and physiology course, the first one, and got an "A"!! I went to class Mondays and Wednesdays from 3-8pm and Rob again took care of the kids.  It's at the Denver School of Nursing for my prerequisites.  I am going to take the 2nd class of A&P starting in the beginning of July and finishing in September.  Then I will take off a quarter to finish my Nutrition class (online) that I have failed to finish and I need to get it done by December.  Then I will have only one class left of prerequisites, Microbiology, maybe will take it in January, we'll see. I am not sure when I will go ahead with the full-time nursing program, but I'm trying to get all the prerequisites done so that I can be ready and apply to different programs.
-Am teaching the Miamaids at church (14 and 15 year old girls) so now have that on sundays along with presidency meetings and weekly activities.
-I wonder what kept me busy before having luke?
-Of course during all this we had just added a baby, so we've adjusted to life with 3 kiddos now.  It took me a good 3 months to even want to leave the house with all of them by myself.  Every weekend Rob would take us "out" somewhere and that really helped me survive the first 3 months.  I also feel like it's so much easier lately to just play in the backyard or go on a walk near home b/c now we're dealing with feedings and naps, which Ethan had gotten old enough that it didn't matter about naptime, we could just go and do without much struggle.

Breanna
-Such a great big sister, she is AMAZING.  She knows SO much about Luke.  She even tells me what to try if Luke is crying.  "check his diaper mom....maybe he just wants to be held....maybe he want to have his bottle....maybe he wants to jump in his jumperoo."
-Has become quite "brave" lately in the water.  Actually tries to swim.  Puts her head under and loves her goggles.
-Always a great playmate to Ethan.
-Loves to tease Ethan though and push his buttons
-Reading like a champ
-Such a great girl, but definitely has her moods
-Wants to be around me and misses me lately
-Can read the clock and tell time pretty well (digital)
-Learned how to make chicken nuggets in the microwave (daddy taught her) and toast a waffle
-Loves treats


Ethan

-Finally starting to take interest more in Luke, will clap his hand really loudly in front of Luke's face to "help" him stop crying

-Pretty much never naps- very rare
-Loves playing
-Walks around outside on the rocks and gets prickers in his feet and keeps doing it over and over and over.
-Loves playing with the toys in the garage, especially taking EVERY toy out and not putting them back, but lines them up nicely.
-Screams at the top of his lungs lately when kids tease him or don't listen to him
-Getting pretty good at listening to what I ask of him

Luke
