Long time no chat!

It has been a long time since I updated you all on our little family of 5 and finally have time to chat it up! Since the last post M&M has sure learned the terrible part of being 2. I try to hold my patience with her but man does she try it. It does not help that she was naturally stubborn to began with does it. She is talking much better and it is getting easier to understand what she wants so that helps a lot of the time.

Lucas and Kaylee both ended spring soccer and started up blast ball ( Lucas) and T-ball. Lucas loves it to death and looks forward to it. I still can not believe how much he has grown and how much pre-school helped with his speech. Weighing the three of them tonight I relized he is the same weight as his older sister. Not don't get me wrong he is not a big boy. Its his sister is such a small girl LOL. He is still set on being a 4th generation fireman. The halloween costume I made him is still getting a lot of use. He loves running through the house at any given moment yelling Waverly fire call Waverly fire call 1019 dover st. and then mummbling like the pager and he throws his gear on including a real heavy fireman's helmet and then sirens ( which in times I will have to admit he has fooled me with them being so realistic). You really have to watch your feet at our house cause it is a fire station with all of the gear and toy trucks.

Now Miss Kaylee as I love to call her cause of the teenage attitude she has failed to get rid of, just got done with her big dance recital. Holy crap can these AHDP girls dance. The way that this is put on you would swear it was broodway. ( hoping I spelled that right but who really cares). I will defanitly have to add the pics when I get them from my dad later on. She was in two dances this year the first one is her regular class which was a song called orange color sky. They did a jazz # to it and had a bright orange color dress which Jon and I tease reminds us of a vegas show girl with a boa to boot. That I will have to say was vary entertaining. The second one was the opener of the show which K tried out for and made it. Watching her do that one made me teary eyed every time I watched it. Seeing her with the older girls was absolutly amazing along with the fact that she got to dance with her best buddy in the whole world. It was more of a lyrical ( which for those of you who don't know is easy or slow flowing dance) and she has a tan flowing dress which had slits up the side and three ring thing covered in diamonds. It is much more beautiful then I make it sound LOL.

As far as hubby and I we strugle with his pay cut but are still trying to make it. Our fighting has gotten much better and we are trying to use our anger to get things done instead of attacking each other. Seems to be working pretty well so far. We are also trying to get the love dare book started but so far have not gotten past the first dare cause we either start to bicker and I won't let us move on or simply forget to read the next one before we go to bed because we are enjoying eachothers company.

Hubby did get a job offer but the details to it our still fuzzy. All they did was come up to him twice and ask if he was interested in a lower management position in Iowa. They have not given him an exact location or any other info so we are kind of nervous out getting it. As many of you know we live in a small town now which is the one he grew up in. Now the part I am about to tell you a lot of girls would shiver and shake at but in my opinion is one thing I love the most is the fact that we only live three blocks from his mother, two from his older brother, and less then one from his maturnal grandparents. So one thing I have gotten use to is them coming and going and when ever I have needed help for any reason someone has been right there. One night when Jon was out of town I tought I heard voices coming from outside. I called his brother crying as I was standing in the hall way with a baseball bat and knife telling him what was going on. He dropped everything he was doing and rushed right over to check it out. I lost count of how many times my beater has died and I have had to borrow one of their vehicles or had them take us to our destination. Or how about when Jon was working over nights and K would have dance or something would come up and they were always there to baby sit.

The thought of moving away from them frightens me to death. They have just as much become my parents as they are his. Any questions I have Connie is the first person I call to ask what to do on. We argue like mother an daughter more then in laws. We are also never afraid to tell eachother when we are in the wrong. Crap this woman has tought me more of how to act like a lady then my own ever did. She has corrected my speech ( which no was not always my favorite but man am I greatful for it). The thought of being even an hour away from them makes my tummy turn in circles but at the same time I have to wonder if the time to just depend on eachother would not be good for Jon and I. From the time we have been married we have always had someone to turn to to rescue us from our mistakes. The thought of having to do it on our own makes me linger for it.

Well anyways this has turned out to be a monster of a post. It really does make up for all of the missed time but if I continue I will soon lose you if I have not already. I will more than likley keep you posted on the job offer and more thoughts on it. Happy trails everyone!
