Moving

So it is a little late to post this update but we are MOVING!!! I am so excited and extremely nervous. We will be moving to Hansen Idaho right outside of Twin falls. Steve got a good job offer up there and since he has family up there we are going to stay with them for a little bit right at first. I am taking him up there and then the kids and I will be coming back to pack up the rest of the stuff and clean the place. We will move about 2 weeks later. We  have been feeling a pull to go back to Idaho for a little over a year and he put in an application on a whim and he got the offer a few weeks ago. It is a huge change for us because we have been here for so long. I can't wait till Tavin goes to kindergarten up there because it will be all day kindergarten because it will not break my day up as much as it has been as of late with Caelum in all day 2nd grade and Tavin in half day Kindergarten.
We appreciate Amanda and Chris for letting us stay in their basement for a few months to be able to find a decent place to move into up there. I really hope that I can be a great help to them while we live there like I plan on being. I am excited to be closer to my kids cousins, but we will be sad to leave the cousins and family here behind. I can't believe how many little things we have, packing really makes you realize how much you have and find things you forgot you had.

Summer is done

Well the weather may not say that the summer is over but it is as far as the free time we have left. Caelum started second grade lase Wednesday and so far he is loving it! His teacher is Miss Bair and she is new to Wilson this year. She seems really nice and I hope that Caelum enjoys this year as much as he has enjoyed his previous years in school. So far he has only had one accident at school this year which I am very pleased with. I wish that I could see the light at the end of the tunnel with this problem. His constipation problems are only part of the problem it is his remembering to go and not holding it which I think is really the root of the problem. We have started using a kitchen timer that goes off every hour and he is supposed to go in and sit on the toilet. If he actually does what he is supposed to it works out pretty well, but a lot of time he wants to be too quick and just go in and doesn't sit to have a BM and that is when he ends up having problems. This I think is worse than potty training and it sometimes beings me to tears because I can't fix his problem and I don't think that others who haven't had to deal with this problem understand how difficult it is and I really hate the your a bad mom looks or the not so helpful maybe if you do this comments from someone who thinks it is as easy as potty training a child which it isn't. Sorry for the little rant but I really wish i knew more people who had this problem with their kids so that I can really find out what helps and good tips from parents who have been there. It is a really common problem amongst kids but I am surprised that I don't meet people very often who have to deal with these issues.
Tavin Started Kindergarten on Tuesday and he loves it so far. He had a water and sand party at school today and he was so excited to have it. He already it pretty good at math which is a great bonus and I hope that he can get better and recognizing his letters and get some reading practice in soon. Tavin is so full of energy all day long and it is wonderful when he gets home from school because he actually is a bit more mellow which still means he is a normal kid hyper but for him it is mellow and wonderful for me. I need to buy some serenity from doterra because it helps his a ton with his concentration and his extreme hyperactivity. Tavin has been big on wanting to buy a house and every time he sees one that is for sale he says I want that one. He also told Steve yesterday that he should get a truck and it needs to have 2 rows so we can all fit in it at once. He also tells me every time he gets into the car that we need to get a van or an SUV with three rows so that he can have more room.
Jessery is a stay at home girl right now. She misses her brothers when we take them to school, but she does like having mom and dad to herself for a few hours. Jessery can be so bossy at times like she is already a teenager sometimes it is cute but it really bugs her brothers. Jessery all of a sudden grew and inch and lost some of her baby fat and her face got longer it is kinda sad my little princess is getting so old. Jessery is still into anything girlie and insists that she needs a little sister so she can do her hair and her nails and make her all pretty like her. I have to laugh so hard at what she says sometime. The other day we got her a new dress and she thought it was blue and I said it wasn't so she said she thought it was green and I told her it wasn't and that is was turquoise and she just smiled. About a week later she asked me if she could wear her new turquboys dress. I was laughing so hard, I love how kids interpret things that we say.
Steve just had his 28th birthday and I felt so bad that he had to work on his birthday but such is the life of an adult. Steve has been an interim TA for a few months now which for the pay is great but he works some really crappy hours as of late. I work at the kids klub still once a week for free gym membership and I also get the privilege of watching Lyla a couple times a weeks to help Shane out so that he can focus on work and not worry about daycare. I really love being a stay at home mom right now. I am so happy that i can spend this time with the kids and I am a little bummed that I missed 2 years of it while going to school, but I am really glad that I have a degree under my belt and I can show my kids that anything is possible and it is great to finish a task that you start no matter how difficult it becomes. I have been working on eating healthier and I have lost a whopping 11 pounds. Not very noticeable and no where near what I need to lose but I am on my way to being a much healthier me.

Lazy

Okay so I am really not that good on keeping up to date on my blog. I am currently working on losing the 40ish pounds that I gained from all 3 kids and so far I am doing well. It has been a week and I was able to workout 4 days in a row but then I had to take a break Friday because I had absolutely no energy and then Saturday I was in Salt lake ALL day taking a test and then talking to family and Sundays I don't ever plan on working out unless we decide to do a family bike ride. Well I weighed in today and I haven't lost anything but the little bit that I gained during the week because of starting a new workout has disappeared which is nice. In a few minutes I am going to head to the gym to workout for an hour and then I will eat healthy again. I have noticed a little bit the look and feel of my stomach, but I know that no one else will notice for a little while which is okay for me. I wish that there was a magic overnight fix, but I will not have surgery and pills are just awful for people so I will do it the old fashioned slow way so that it stays off and makes me healthier.

On another note Tavin just had 4 bottom teeth pulled about a week ago because we noticed his adult teeth were growing in behind his baby ones. When we went into the dentist he suggested that we pull the 4 on the bottom because his adult teeth were so big that they would come in really crooked and in a couple months he would have to have his other teeth pulled anyway so we decided to do it all at once and so Tavin got 4 dollars from the tooth fairy and he bought a little transformer bumblebee. Caelum just finished first grade at the top of his class and this summer we are going to get his accidents under control so that he won't have problems in second grade. Caelum is so super smart I just hope that he gets his bowel and urine problems under control. Caelum and Jessery are having a joint birthday party this Saturday and Caelum gave a checklist of what I need to do before his party. I laughed so hard he loves making lists just like I do. Jessery just turned 4 and she is such a princess. She loves getting her hair fixed and nails painted and the works. I am so excited that I finally was blessed with a girl after two boys. Jessery told me that she wants a barbie and a baby and oh so many other things so we are trying to get her something but with so many ideas we have our work cut out for us.

Steve is working and I am looking for work and now that I have passed my CMA test I should have an easier time finding work.
