I know I never post

So for all you have been nagging me about posting something here you go. I know it's been a while. I've felt really shut down lately. I'll use my other journal for that entree. Anyway we're doing well and living life. Nothing too exciting has gone on lately.

Jared's doing well at work and we're hoping it's just gonna get better. There's a lot of details that go along with his job, I can hardly keep up, but he's gotten some really good leads and if even half of them come through we'll be doing really well. He's such a hard worker and I'm so glad I married an ambitious man.

Emma spent last weekend with her cousin Kristen. She had so much fun. They love each other so much and I really hope their friendship continues through out their lives.

Ethan has spent a few days playing with his cousin Chloe. They fight and love each other like they're brother and sister. He loves her so much and I'm glad they can hang out so much. The other day Ethan was talking to me about how he doesn't want to hit or be mean to Emma anymore. I've been trying to teach him how boys are to treat girls. He of course has now made a comparison with princesses and how their princes treat them. He told me he was going to treat Chloe like a princess when I dropped him off to play with her. It was so cute. He said he would treat all girls like they were princesses and he was their prince. I told him that he has A LOT of girls in his life that he can treat like princesses and he can be a prince to them all. He was really excited about that and promised he wouldn't hit anymore. So far so good. (I still believe he wishes he could be a princess as well, one day he'll get over that, right?)

Grady is getting big and is about to crawl any day here. He gets on his hands and knees and lunges forward to get where he wants to go. Whatever works I guess. He's eating like crazy and loves bananas. He said Dad about a month or so ago and just said Mom on Tuesday. He says Dad all the time, but only says Mom when he's crying. Huh, why do we teach them to say anything? I'm not sure I'm ready to have someone else yelling, Mom at me. I think I'm gonna change my name. Ha!!!! At least they're really cute. oh, and he claps.

Hope this caught you up a little bit and didn't bore you too much!

GROUNDHOG DAY

I know it's not really a celebrated holiday, especially since the dang thing saw it's shadow again, does it ever NOT see his shadow? Anyway, Emma and Ethan's best friends Jessica and Ryan came over and we decided to make a cake. It was a lot of fun. They also made paper groundhogs and we used toilet paper rolls for the groundhogs to hid in. Hope this is making sense. Anyway it was cute and they had a ton of fun.

GRADY GRADY GRADY

So I know kids find ways to play with their binky's, but I've never seen a kid do something like this. Grady is so funny! He makes me laugh everyday.
