New posts

So, I guess by blogging is a feast or famine thing. You have to scroll nearly all the way down to see all of the new posts I posted today. Here is some catch up on the family:

Daniel: His favorite foods are yogurt, mac-n-cheese, rice a roni, peaches, and corn. He enjoys doing things like mom and dad. Recently he has been WALKING up and down the stairs all by himself. He enjoys learning how to eat with a fork all by himself. He likes to be clean - when his hands are dirty he shows me like immediately so I will remidy the situation. His favorite show is DEFINATELY Thomas and Friends (the train). He loves pushing things around with wheels. He likes to find ways to be silly - that is the best way I can explain it, and he laughs a lot when he is being silly. He gives kisses when you say "kisses." He is extra tender most of the time, but when he is mean he is REALLY mean (he pinches me, hits me - we are working on changing that). Most of the time he is very obedient - when he plays in the driveway he is good about not going into the street (now that I have disciplined him by putting him in his saucer when he went in the street before). The saucer is his most common form of discipline. We tell him, "you are going into the saucer if you keep doing that." Often he stops whatever it is when we say that. It is kinda funny cause the saucer is supposed to be a place to play.

Me: gee, not much is new for me. I have been teaching about nutrition and fitness at Enrichment, which has really been a lot of fun! It is taking three months of Enrichments to get through all of the material cause there have been lots of questions - I am glad people feel comfortable to ask questions, cause we have had a lot of neat discussions. I love enrichment - I learn so many neat things and get all kinds of neat recipes that I wouldn't otherwise find, like canning recipes (of stew, etc.) and recipes to use powerdered milk, and much more. I am also very happy to announce that I have become a good house keeper! :) Yay! A dishwasher makes an incredible difference!! And, our house is so beautiful when it is clean- I want to see it look beautiful. I don't spend as much time on the computer cause I spend more time cleaning, knitting, and reading. I am reading 1984 by George Orwell and just finished Animal Farm by the same author. I also like reading anything by Glenn Beck. Next I would like to read The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen.

Ben: Still enjoying his job. We are REALLY REALLY grateful for this job in these trying economic times!! His job is truly stable. During these times we could not count on any company to not go under or majorly downsize or sales to go down, etc. But where he is working for the Federal Government under the power administration - that job is there till people don't use power anymore. We have also had lots of fun going to garage sales - have found lots of wonderful things for really cheap. Maybe at the end of the summer I will do a post of the best things we have found.
