Anybody want a....

... Dog? That is right we have to give our loveable (lab mix) dog away. With us going to Oklahoma we can't really take him with us. He is smaller than most labs, fun and great with kids. Kevin has been known to jump on his back and yell "Horsey!" and does Oso do anything about it? No.. he just gets up and walks away. He is really a fun dog. He is free! And has been neutered and has his shots.. if you want him let us know. He needs a good home that will love him.

Updates...

so I haven't blogged in a while and I needed to update somethings...
The prepeardenss party on the 22nd went well, it was a very small turnout but was a succsess in my book. As for the canning thing on the 31st we brought home over 255 empty cans to be canned (that isn't counting the pouches that we brought back) and 60 some cans of food already canned so all in all it was a good month (probly my last?)
Cameron is saying Dadadadadada... even before Fathers Day! and he zooming around the house now.. nothing is safe.. Tyler says it is hard to do anything becuase he finds Cameron at his feet, and then when he moves again Cameron is holding on to his pants and falls over.. lol. Cute kid. fast crawler!
We have Kevin signed up for Swim lessons in June.. how exciting is that! Its a mommy and me class so we will both be enjoying that! (mental note- losse weight before june:)

My kids are fun...

So Kevin learned something today that just might have saved his life. :) Today was the first day he said "I'm sorry Mommy" and he did it sincerly with a really sorry look on his face- without me telling him to say sorry. I tell ya my temper was getting up there and he looked at me and just said "I'm sorry mommy" It was great! My nerves calmed down and we had a semi-rational (as rational as a mom and her 2 year old can have) chat about what he had done and why it was wrong. Elder Ballards talk was right- Motherhood is all about the moments, it was a great moment today. Unlike two days ago when he ran away, yes he found the gate open and ran away, I found him coming back home after 5 (ok maybe 3) minutes of looking for him, he is now padlocked in the back yard. True escape artist at work, lets see him get out of that!

As for Cameron he is really cute, he says Mamamaamama now, it really made my Mothers day to have him saying MaMaMaMa, we are working on Dadadadaa for Fathers day.

Mothers Day

So I had one wonderful Mothers day, my boys maybe to small to really understand but it was still great. Tyler let me sleep in, made me French toast for breakfast, grilled cheese for lunch and hotdogs for dinner.. I didn't have to cook once! He bought me 12 roses, 9 red and 3 white(my favorite) one for each of my boys, then after a nap (naps are wonderful) the boys gave me their gift, a willow tree called "brothers" it is so adorable! our collection of willow tree is slowly growing! We attended church we watched the primary kids serinade us, and the young women handed out pansies, all in all it was a very relaxing day! A day that I could truly take a break and just be thankful for the wonderful boys that I have in my life! Thanks guys!

Back to decided..

yep yep yep.. we are going to.... Okalahoma State.. We have decided that would be the best place for us so we are going. Ty and I are going to fly out and look for houses sometime in the next month with Cameron and leave Kevin with Uncle Ken... It will be the first time I have every spent the night away from Kevin since he has been born, I'm sure I will have bigger issues then he will, He love spending time with Uncle Ken. And Uncle Ken jumped at the chance to do it, he is even willing to take a day off to watch my little boy! You think I should tell him that Kevin should be potty trained by the time I get home? :) I'm excited, things really seem to be falling into place. No bites on the house yet, plenty of people like it but say they have to sell their house first or they just started looking so they will let us know... come on just by it! We just dropped the price $5,000 so we shoudl be getting more people throught now that is it in the $170's instead of the $ 180's.
As for life around here, it is a little strained.. Cameron won't let me put him down, he is running a fever and doesn't want to do anything but Cuddle, which yes, is one of the best things about being a Mom but really sometimes you need to go to the restroom!
My new project is helping plan the ward preparedness fair for the 22nd and also putting on another "canning day in the gym" on the 31st! With all the stimulus plan money coming in this month we hope that we will have a good turn out and that families in the ward will make food storage a priority. I don't think we will have another 4000 lbs but who knows...exciting exciting! So for all of you in the ward, get your orders in soon!
Thats all for now, I must go give Cameron some attention...

so...

Its a good thing that when we moved into this house we latched things to the walls. The other day Kevin came out of out bedroom wtih Tyler's utility knife- thank goodness it was closed. But Tyler was saying "where did he get that", I said "well that has been on top of the stereo which is on top of the organizer that is over the toilet", the thing is taller than I am! So we walk into the bathroom and the doors were open to the organizer, that is right, my son who is 2 ft tall climbed up on the toilet, up the organizer stepping on the shelves inside the doors to get to the utility knife- can you believe it! I'm so glad we had it teathered to the wall... I don't think I have ever been so thankful for a couple of screws in my life, It would have all come down on top of him including the stereo! I have a monkey for a child! I know that boys think differently than girls but why would he climb up the organizer in the bathroom?!? Funny kid!

He crawled!!!

That is right, Cameron crawled foward (of course it was to get a graham cracker) He is so cute he has had the legs moving foward part for a few days but his hands never moved, now he is moving his hands too! He is cute lifting his butt in the air and trying so hard... I give him a couple days before he gets to something dangerous.... I'm sure! He also now going from sitting to crawling and crawling to sitting on his own.. we are in some big trouble, baby proofing is now a must!
