Remember us?

Wow-it has been a long time since I have posted here! Jan keeps telling me about how out of date my blog is so I decided I had better get with it! :) The days seem to fly by and I have no time for anything, so this is about how often I get to update!

We are all doing ok....sick with colds that won't go away-no fun! The kids and I have had one for over a week now! We are ready for spring and summer....too bad we still have a few more months!

Brent is busy with his job-but is enjoying it. My work is really busy right now, sometimes it seems like we never have a spare moment. The kids are really enjoying school-we are so happy to have found a place they love.

Ella is now officially potty trained-I still can't believe it. She has been so easy. She wore "Big Girl Underwear" on Saturday and had 2 accidents, no accidents Monday, and no accidents Tuesday! I can't believe it! So I am safely saying she is potty trained, and it was so easy! Plus she is so much easier than Sam! I think she was really ready for it. It will be so nice not to have to buy as many pullups! She'll still wear them at night time for a bit-but it will definitely cut way down on our diaper consumption!

We still really love our new house, we are ready for spring to be here so we can work in the yard. We are taking out the big garden they had here (we just don't have time for it now) and putting grass in that area. I also want to get a nice flower bed going out front-I'll need to figure out when I am able to put all this time in!

I put some new pictures of the kids up from the last few months...some Christmas pictures, a picture of Ella on her 2nd birthday....a picture of the kids new rooms. Aunt Dar and Bri came over between New Years and Christmas and totally redid both of their rooms. The rooms look SO GOOD! We love them!

That's about all from around here-I promise I will try to update sooner next time!
