Well, it has been some time since I've written. I enjoy catching up on the things of those around me so I only think it fair that I update my life.
I am finishing my 4th block of classes which is great. I've been taking classes since June last year and have had 3 weeks break. I have done really well up intil this last block. I just feel like I am getting burned out. I'm going to take a week off and try to get back into a comfortable groove.
A couple Sundays ago, a gal from my ward asked me to sing with her during sacrament. I have trouble being the center of attention and try to refrain at all costs to be in the spot light. I didn't tell her no because I need to get over my fear. I know that others don't want to be up at the podium as much as I do. No one is there to judge. Anyway she and I sang a duet. When He Comes Again CS p 82. I sang the melody and the other gal sang harmony. It sounded really beautiful. It has two versus and a friend of hers wrote a third. I've lost the words but I am looking and when I find them, I will post them.
I have been serving in the primary for a 1 1/2 years and love it. I love the teachers and the children I serve. These kids always amaize me. They have wonderful parents and I truely want all that life has to offer them. When I sang this last verse, I thought of those children and my own. I really hope that they seek our Heavenly Father. He loves us so much and wants all of us to return home to Him again. Well anyway my problem with thinking all this while singing, I started to cry at the end. couldnt finish the last bit. I'm a dork. I should learn not to think while sing. I hope someone asks me to sing again. I hope to do better next time.
Kennedy as so Awsome!!! the last 3 days she hasn't pottied in her pants. She wakes and goes potty without waking me!! Sweet! I dreaded the day I had to potty train her but she is doing it alot on her own. Yes I do need to remind her during the day to go potty but she goes and hasnt so far had any accidents. She enjoys chocolate so when she goes potty I break her a peice of candy and let her have some. She doesnt ask for it all the time but it has helped.
We have some friends that live in Vernal, about a half hour away. The kids and I have gone over to go swimming with them. The indoor pool has a playground set for the toddlers. Kennedy is afraid of it. At the top of the playground set, there is a big bucket that fills with water. The bucked spills over dumping all the water inside all over. Kennedy is petrified of this. She looks like she wants to cry when this happens. Needless to say she is really afraid of the water. Yes I know it's odd to have a swimmer mom with kids afraid of the water. I'm really ok with it. I'm not pushing her to enjoy the water. In fact I don't really enjoy just sitting in the water, I'd rather swim laps then get out. But I like to take her and see her learn to enjoy the water. Today she started to jump into the water. She had to have a sure grip on your hands before she jumped in, but she jumped in none the less. She is a great kid. Makes me crazy sometimes but I wouldn't trade her.
Kyler is 10 Months. Holy Cow! I just had the kid and now he is turning a Year pretty soon! The other day he was crawling around the house and I thought how I missed his army crawl. He looked like he was swimming. He would bring his arms all the way around for each crawl and drag his feet. Now he crawls on hands and knees, puts himself in the sitting position and even pulls himself to the standing position. He doesnt have the desire to walk yet and I am ok with that. I want him to be my Ky man for as long as I can. He went swimming with Kennedy and I today and Loved it. I had to hold him so he wouldnt drown himself. He kept wanting to crawl deeper and deeper in the water. so I ended up holding him in deep water and then let him splash around. He enjoyed that.
Kyler is so different than kennedy. They both are such great kids, so full of life and so different. Kennedy is loud and crazy. Kyler is observent. He loves his sister. She can make him laugh so hard. I love to watch the two interact with each other. I've recorded the two just sitting and making each other laugh. It melts your heart, its so cute. They sit right next to each other in the car and can touch each other. Kennedy plays with him so good. Yes some times too much but I keep an eye on them so she doesnt smother him and he doesnt pull her hair out.
Justin my wonderful husband is always working hard so that I may stay home with the kids. He is such a selfless man. Sometimes I neglect to see his work as selfless and maybe selfish when he doesnt want to go out after him working all day to hang out with friends all night long. I try not to give him greif. He still makes me laugh and I love that man so much. I am glad that I can still say that.
