Life just got a little busier

I have a feeling that won't end until my kids are grown and married on their own.

When we moved to our new house I really wanted to be able to bring in some extra income. Keith makes enough, but I still get stressed about money (who doesn't!), especially with all that needs to be done around here. So I talked to people about being interested in watching kids in my home and put an ad on ksl.com. (I didn't have much hope with the ad because I couldn't even find it) After a couple of false starts I decided that I needed to have a little more faith that Heavenly Father would provide what we needed. I stopped worrying  about finding an income source (mostly, anyway).

Well, last Saturday I got a call out of the blue from a lady who saw my ad on ksl.com. I called her back and found out she has 2 school-age girls and an 18-month boy. So she came over Saturday evening and we talked. She called my the next Wednesday, and I started watching her kids Thursday! She only needs part-time hours, which is great for me. So now I watch 3 extra kids M,W,F and the little boy on T, TH.

I know the Lord can work in mysterious ways, but sometimes the mysterious part isn't so much fun. Haha! This was a wonderful surprise and great blessing, though!

In the meantime Kailey is getting bigger and Elli is getting smarter. These girls drive me crazy sometimes, but we are learning together how to work things out. For now, I am especially grateful they inherited my ability to tan and not Keith's ability to burn, haha.

So......It's been a while

I haven't blogged in, oh, almost 2 years! I have been thinking about it lately, though, so I'm going to try and be better.

Let's play catch up, eh?

In the last two years:

-I have been staying home with our two girlies.
-Keith got a new job driving truck for ADS. He delivers drainage pipe.
-Keith went to school a little more, and is still figuring out what to do in life. Big decisions.
-Bought a real house!
-Rented out our condo. (The people renting it are....interesting. We are ready for new ones.)
-Eliana is a sunbeam! She does great going to class, although I suspect she isn't the best listener.
-Kailey is in nursery. She actually loves it, but cries for about a minute when we drop her off.
-We are pregnant with baby number three! It's a boy, and his name is Grant! Eliana is really excited and likes to give my tummy kisses. Kailey has no idea and could care less. Haha. 
-We have installed sprinklers in our yard and brought in top soil. We are seeding this weekend!
-We had a zoo pass for the past year, so we made good use of it. 
-Eliana has made a lot of new friends here and is very independent playing outside with them. She is very stubborn, but is actually very responsible. 
-Kailey has shown interest in using the potty, and loves to practice. I'm not ready for her to potty train yet. I don't want to push it.
-Keith taught in Elder's Quorum for about 6 months, and now is 2nd counselor in the Young Men's.
-I teach 4-yr-olds in primary.
-Life is a little crazy, but we are trying to keep up.
-We are super happy. :)
