About a month ago Ben started working again for Scott doing concrete. I have never seen someone so happy to go to work in the morning. He is feeling so much better now that he is out working. Being home with the kids all day everyday was really taking a toll on him. He is looking for an additional part time job for nights and weekends but for now we are just so grateful for work. He also got his wisdom teeth out this morning, poor guy.
We have also been working like crazy trying to move some stuff around so that we can get me home with the kids. That being said we are selling our Jeep and our Camry. No we are not reverting to bikes or even horses but we are looking to get a van (as it seems to be the next logical vehicle that we will purchase and not because we are making any additions as of right now). I know what you must be thinking “Kari – driving a van – she swore she would never do that” but I am so excited to have more room and the convenience of a van! So here is the info on our vehicles that we are selling in case you or anyone you know is looking for one.

Slade has recently gotten into trying to say big words. He is constantly telling us that things are ‘hiwarious’ (hilarious), that he is so ‘brustrated’ (frustrated) and he also tells us that things are ridicules. He is such a great big brother, he plays so well with his sister. If Madie is in her walker he will get behind her and push her around the house crashing into things, at first I was a little concerned about it but Madie loves it, she laughs so hard. There is no one that can make Madie laugh as hard as Slade can. He also likes to read books to Madie, he will usually find one with animals and then tell her what animal it is and what sound it makes. It is so cute!
And I just like this pic of Slade...
Madie is crawling. She is all over the house. She crawls up to things and pulls herself up on it. Every morning when I go in her room to get her up she is standing in her crib with her great big 2-toothed grin. SO CUTE!!! She has also recently discovered that she thinks it is really funny to spit her food - she takes a bite, gets a sneaky little look in her eye and the sprays you with food, she then laughs like it is the funniest things she has ever seen and the more you tell her no the harder she laughs... little stinker! She also finally says Mama, she has been jabbering Dada for at least a month now but finally last Thursday she said Mama - it is so sweet to hear her say it.
These kids are so amazing - I am so grateful to have them in my life! I am so blessed!
We are also very excited that my Mom and my Step Dad are coming in 15 days... Hippee (as Slade says - I think it is a mix between Yippee and Hooray)! On Monday for family home evening we talked about families and worked on our numbers by making a paper chain.
So that is what has been going on with us.
