Our Life Now

Spring already? Its crazy to me how fast this year is going by. Adam and I are busy getting our sprinkling system done, our yard de-weeded, and our grass put in. We are hoping to have grass to play on in the back yard by sometime in June. We keep having set backs though. Leaks in pipes, faulty gaskets, things like that. But we are going through it like the troopers that we are, and having fun working together to better our home. We are also busy with our callings in our Ward. Adam is 2nd Counselor in the Young Men's presidency, so he has activities for that and Scouts that he goes to all the time. And I'm 2nd Counselor in our Relief Society Presidency, so I'm super busy with that as well. We love it and wouldn't change it for anything.
Meanwhile, Noah has found some new friends on our street. They are all older than him. 9, 12, 13 years old. But they always come knocking on the door wanting Noah to play with them. They are outside ALL day long. Noah loves to play basketball, baseball, soccer, swing on the swing set, and have water fights with them. He keeps wanting them to sleep over, but I'm thinking 5 years old is a little young to have a bunch of older kids over. Maybe I will give in soon, who knows. But I'm so happy that he has some friends that he has so much fun with. I'm a little sad because he doesn't want to be with me anymore, but I guess that's part of kids growing up. And he is growing up way too fast.
Shayne is sweet as usual. She loves to be outside also, which is good and bad. When we are outside, for the most part, she will stay in the yard and just watch the airplanes fly by, or watch the kids play. Sometimes she tries to take off up the street to find something else to do, but she always laughs and runs when we chase after her. But when we decide its time to come in, she wont do it without a fight. She is such a goof ball. She is always trying to make us laugh at the funny things that she does. She has also started talking a little bit. She says Daddy, Noah, Yucky, Dink Dink (for Binky) no, yes, she also knows a little sign language, which is helpful. She knows how to say please, food, more, candy in sign, so that is helpful. She has also made up her own sign for lotion, because she LOVES her lotion.
We are just living the dream here in our home in Kearns, having the time of our lives! I love so much being able to stay home with my kids! I'm so thankful that we have been blessed so much!!!
