Busy Mom....

Wow has life gotten busy... I volunteer at Taylor's school every other Tuesday. Work at the Temple every 2nd Tuesday. Teach Pre School with some of my friends on Monday and Wednesday, and now I have another calling in our new ward. I'm the Primary Secretary. Balance all the doctor appointments for the family and Taylor's piano on Mondays. Not to mention all the home work she has every night. She's in first grade and has an hour of homework every night, plus about 30 minutes of piano. I don't know how some parents put their kids in so many thing, I'm going nuts with just the things we have to do.

Eli went to nursery for the first time on Sunday. 3 weeks early, but Shaun and I both have callings during church so we didn't have much of a choice. With the older 2 I would start taking them in the nursery room at about 16 months to slowly introduce them, I of course would stay with them. With Eli he had never been, he's pretty good for us during out meetings, as long as we have books and food for him. He had so much fun going in, I checked on him a few times and he was fine. Than after Shaun got done teaching he went over and Eli had just gotten hurt, so he took him to Priesthood. I can't wait for March 7, and he go in with no guilt.

Joy is in the Journey!

We had a Relief Society Meeting today, there were 5 workshops and you picked 3 to go to each with a different topic, but it was all about making your home and yourself better. The first workshop I went to (with some friends) the sister teaching told a story about one of her friends, Penny, and her husband were at an airport when they saw an attractive lady walk by them in a nice sweat suit. and on her butt were the words "Hot Chick". Jokingly she (the teacher) said that she wanted one that said "wide Load". I guess nobody wears their feelings on their shirts anymore:) So now I want to start a walking group when it is warmer with the words "Joy is in the Journey" on our behinds. Who's in, lets make it a "cool" thing.

Glasses

I was taking Taylor and Trevor's pictures with their new glasses

and Eli was saying "teese" so here is his little face for us to love

and enjoy.

Trevor is in love with his glasses, he cleans them all the time

and is excited to see the moon in the sky!

Taylor wanted hot pink glasses, but they didn't look very good with her

skin, and hair. She tried these ones on and we both

agreed with chocolate brown and light pink.

she can now see the word wall at school...

My other Blog....

I started an open blog a long time ago...I just put a new post on it http://makingmetime.blogspot.com/. I hate having a private blog because it doesn't show new post on others blog list.

I took the older two kids to the eye doctor today. They both need glasses! Poor Taylor has 20/50 vision and astigmatism. He told us that if she were 16 going in to get her drivers license she would not pass the vision part. Trevor has a very "hard" astigmatism and we are to watch him for my dads eye disease...poor kid. They should get their glasses tomorrow, I'll post pictures when we actually get them.

Christmas (better late than never)

On Christmas Eve, we went to Shaun's parent's house

Jim read the birth of Christ from the scriptures as we all

reenacted the story.

Taylor was on of the angels and Trevor was the star.

(We only had 10 minutes to go through the house to fine costumes, this is the

best I came up with)

My Grandpa Bellows sent us some money for the kids a Christmas gift.

I found a Sesame Street fold up town.

Eli loved the box, as usual...

Pictures of the Bathroom...finally!

I did the hall/kids bathroom a month ago now. It has turned out

very nice. In my opinion. We hope to update the vanity

and counter top this spring. I don't want to pain another bathroom!!

I think its the hardest room in the house to paint, and I have one more to do

and its the big one.
