Homes, Schools and Babies

We are finally getting things rolling on selling our house. The buyers came by Thursday and were very happy with the condition of the house and are now in the process of getting their loan. This kind of happened quicker than we excpected seeing that we haven't heard from them in a month or two. It will be nice to get out of Provo. We are planning on staying with Eric's mom for a few months to save up a good down payment for our next house and to wait for our credit to get a little higher. I know it will be hard on us but it will also be so great to have some help with the boys.

I was just starting to think about going to school for nursing down here(Provo) when we found out that we were selling the house. The nursing program up there(Roy) is really hard to get into and very competitive. I might just go for something a little easier like medical assisting or billing and coding for now. People keep giving me their opinions on me going to school with 2 young babies but it's something i really want to do while they're young and i AM going to do it. Having the security to be able to give my kids what they need and even want is very important to me. I don't want them to miss out on things just because we can't afford it. I always put my kids needs and wants before mine and it kinda hurts when i see parents do the opposite. There are a lot of different types of nurses out there and they don't all require these crazy long hours like people keep telling me. I know what I'm doing and my job is not ever going to get in the way of spending time with my family.

Bridger, my one and only nephew, had his 1st birthday this weekend. It was a lot of fun. The party was a costume party. Bridger was dressed as a monkey and was just adorable. Ayden was a pumpkin and Axton was a dalmation puppy. Everyone looked great in there costumes. I wish my husband would have joined in and dressed up. After eating cake Bridger and Ayden both got in the bath. It was so cute watching them spash around in there together. I'm sure they'll be getting baths together a lot. Thats the fun part about being family. Ayden's 1st birthday party is next saturday and i am way excited for him. We are also getting Axton blessed on sunday, so we are looking at a pretty busy weekend this week.

This is the time of my life

So, I've been so busy with my 2 boys that I haven't really had the time to sit down and blog. Now that the boys are napping, I can just write a little bit to update you on my life.
Axton is now 4 weeks old is looking so healthy. He eats like a pig so that's really no surprise. Ayden is just over 11 months and is a handful!! He now has mastered the kitchen cabinets and the grab and run technique. ( this is where he grabs something he's not supposed to and takes off laughing and running as fast as he can.) It's a lot of work keeping up with him but i love every second of it.
I took Ayden to the duck pond at BYU today. Just so you know, finding parking at a university during homecoming is a pain!! Actually, it's still a pain even when it's not homecoming. Anyways, we had a lot of fun. He would giggle so hard when the ducks would fight each other for the bread. He didn't really understand that he was supposed to throw the bread. It was hard to get good pictures of him cause right when i put him down he'd take off after the ducks and almost land in the pond. It was so cute watching him smile and want to get close to the duckies.
Life with 2 kids isn't that much harder than 1 unless we leave the house, then it can be a little difficult. The constant feeding and changing diapers is exhausting. Sometimes i even forget to eat because i'm just too busy. I do get some free time during their naps, and i usually spend that time sitting in front of the tv. The cleaning and cooking i save for when Eric is home to help me. I wouldn't change any of this for the world. I love my family so much and am grateful for all that we have. It's so nice that we own a house, have a nice van, 2 wonderful sons, Eric's business, delicious food, and so much more that a lot of people don't have. I want to go back to church. I feel like not liking the college ward we're in isn't a just reason for not going. i've met 3 of the ladies in our ward in the past few weeks and i really would like to get to know them. It doesn't seem like the neighbor is serious about buying the house so we might as well make it work and get to know some people.
