The crazy days of my life.

Kaleigh had a birthday on the 17th. She is now two years old. I'm so sad. I wanted her to stay a baby for a little while longer but she won't have anything to do with that. She is so smart and talks a lot. She has also been wanting to go potty on the toilet. She doesn't do anything yet but I still let her sit when she tells me she needs to go. Hopefully soon she will get the concept. The boys are doing good in school. Jared has started spelling his name and Anthony can recognize his. They both get mad when they don't have school. My niece Meagan had a baby boy on the 9th of January. Charlene was able to go back for 10 days and help. From his pics he is so cute. He makes me baby hungry even though I already have my hands full with the three I have. They named him Rhone B. Gleckler. I hope he doesn't get to big before we finally get to see him. Ok so I have a funny story. The other day I went to a food drive for foster parents. One of the items we received was a bag of potato's. My friend and I spit up the bag and as we were putting some into a box for her one of the fell on the ground and broke open. The potato was purple. I mean bright purple. I called my dad and he told me to cal the USU extention out at the fair grounds. I did and I guess it is a potato that is used in fancy cooking. (Or as my friend and I call it "fancy shmancy" cooking.) It was just really weird. I'd never heard of a puple potato. Yesterday we had a scout meeting here to plan pack meeting. Just as everyone was getting here Jared fell and hit his bottom lip. His front teeth went through his lip. It looks much better today. I should have taken a picture of it last night. Today I went to a family team meeting for Kayden's mom. She asked me if I would come. Kayden has been moved AGAIN. The family they put him with had a little boy that kept hitting and scratching Kayden and his mom would get mad. The foster mom finally said she couldn't handle it anymore. He should go home with his mom in March. This is a picture of Jared's lip. It's not as fat as it looks. He kind of has it stuck out for the picture.

My kids at Christmas.

I can't believe that Christmas is already over. My kids keep asking me when Santa is coming again. They had so much fun. A couple of days before Christmas Jared told me that Santa couldn't come because we didn't have a fireplace. I had to explain to him that Santa has a special key that lets him in our house. He's starting to get to smart for his own good. Shawn fixed our computer for us. It is so nice to finally have it back. We are actually going up to my mom and dad's for New Years this year. It will be fun. Meagan, here are some pics of Kaleigh's hair cut. The other pics are of Christmas Eve and Kaleigh trying to put on a pair of the boys underware.

Happy Holidays

It's been a while since I last wrote. My computer has been down and I have to use Kristanne's computer. We had a great Thanksgiving. We had dinner at Chad's parents house. Today we are at Kristanne's house for dinner with the Crittenden clan. The other day the kids cut Kaleigh's hair so we had to cut it short. I will post pictures later. I can't believe that Christmas is only 4 weeks away. I am almost ready. Kaden will be leaving us soon. The state wants him in a home that is willing to adopt him if needs be. I still hope that his mom can get him back.

I'm done for another year.

After spending the last week and a half cleaning my re-licensing is finally over. After putting the kids to bed last night I finished cleaning. I made my appointment for 8:30 this morning so it would still be clean before the kids could destroy it. It is nice to have a really clean house though.

My new living room

I thought I would post a couple of pics to let everyone know what my living room looks like. The first pic is the new wall we built. The next two show the paint color and that we painted the brown trim white.

The cleaning never ends.

I spent most of the day cleaning my house. We have re-licensing next week for foster care so I decided to start now instead of waiting until the day before. I scrubed my floor with a magic eraser. I love those. I also wiped down my cabinates. My house wasn't to messy because I cleaned really good when we had Kaleigh's blessing. Also I haven't put everything back in my living room from remodeling. I put the boy's beds into bunk beds. Jared loves having his bed on top. He says he's big now. Tonight I went to a Mary Kay party. The host was my babysitters sister. She went through cosmetology so she did our makeup for us. I actually looked pretty good. To bad it was to late to go out.

I fanally have my computer back.

It's been almost a month since I've last posted. Our computer died on us and we couldn't figure out what was wrong. Chad finally took it in to Best Buy and had the geek squad look at it. The guy opened it and asked him when the last time it was dusted out was. Appearently there was so much dust that it would overheat and turn itself off. Our living room is also done. We build a wall comming out on the wall that went all the way from the living room to the kitchen. We now have seperate rooms. We got new carpet. Now I'm beeing really freaky about any food going into my living room. Now I just have to keep on my boys. The big one is the worst. (Chad) Jared is loving preschool. The teacher said he is doing really good. We blessd Kaleigh on the 7th of September. She looked so cute. WE had a dinner here after. Other than the bee's it turned out nice. Meagan is here visiting. Kris and Granny hosted a baby shower for her. It was good to see her. She looks so cute pregnate.
