Update!

Well I am not a very good blogger as of late and I don't know why. It kind of feels like nothing is really happening and I don't have much to say but I know there must be something....

The Kids- Samantha is dare I say potty trained!! This is exciting and she has been really reliable. THere have been no accidents in a at least a week. She still wears a diaper at night of course but she has even been dry overnight about half the time. On a different not Samantha is really learning to push limits. She is consistently being a bully to Nate and she is not so good at listening these days. We have been going through a lot of time outs lately but they don't seem to do much good. So a coulple of days ago we had a reverse time out where Nate and I went to go play in my room and we locked the door so Samantha couldn't come in- She really didn't like that one and boy was she mad, but she did listen a lot better for the rest of the day! Samantha is so cute in the things she says and does. Yesterday she got a little spank and she cries for a bit then says Mommy kiss my Bum better. She is really hard to stay mad at! Her outlook on things bring many smiles to me.

Nate- Well I would like to say he is growing a ton but really he is not. He is a bit of a small Fry. When we last went to the Health nurse he was only in the 10th percentile for height and weight. Developmentally however he is changing fast. He has great comprehension and he is quite the talker. So many new words all the time. I am surprised at how much I understand! This week he started saying Samantha "mantha" So fun. He still has the worlds cutest smile that melts my heart!

Fred- Is really busy at work these days and still loves his Job. On the home front he is finnishing up the mudding and taping in the garage so hopefully it will be painted and put back together soon. He also has been going to town on making me a brochure so I can start advertising to hopefully to teach more First Aid. All the while spending ample time with the kids and I. I am very often reminded of how blessed I am to be sharing my life with such a incredible man. The "Best" some would say! Tee Hee

Me- Well not a whole lot. I have been getting back into First Aid a bit. Had a couple of courses in Medicine Hat in Feb and a couple of courses this Month for Fred's Company. I really enjoy teaching it so it has been great! So nice to bring in a little money! As for the bookkeeping stuff I have been doing- it seems to be fizzling out a little. I still have some work but there does not seem to be any new stuff and lots of the stuff we did have was a one time thing. So I am still doing it but I am sure not bringing in much money off it. Hence why we are going to start advertising the First Aid. So far we have been okay financially- but our line of credit has been slowly rising. We are so greatfull that I am able to stay home with the kids, but we know that we really have to watch our money and I need to bring in a certain amount. Budgeting and making cuts is however a small sacrifice to be able to stay home and raise our kids.

Well that is the happenings in our world. We are very much looking forward to starting another ball season. This will be the 3rd year Fred and I have run the team and we have a really high rate of returning players so that is really encouraging to us. Ball season is always a great time with great people, and this yearly will surely not dissapoint.
