Chad left last Sunday, he is in some serious training all week long and this Sunday will be the test for his this certification that he's receiving training for.
Today marked the "half way there" spot for Chad to come home. I hate being without him! It's so hard specially at night...I don't like sleeping by myself. Hayden has been sleeping next to me..he's so full of it! He likes to sleep holding on to my neck with his face touching mine, yes very hard for ME to fall asleep that way! But I do enjoy it too...not too long from now I'm sure that it wont be "cool" to be cuddling with his Mommy. Chad will have to fight Hayden to get his spot back!
I was talking with some friends today that were asking me how am I doing by myself, friends and people from the ward has been great bringing our family treats and fruits and checking up on us...very nice ward to be in! :) Any way, I told them that I was very busy doing little things that I always wanted to get it done but couldn't while Chad was around. One of them made the comment on how she also gets so much done when hubby is not around and the house is cleaner, we all agreed that that's true and we all paused and wonder why for a while. Not that Chad makes a mess in the house or doesn't help me around...
"Chaddy you are great and I do appreciate all the help and everything that you do! Like taking the garbage for example that I almost forgot this morning causing Juls to be late for school."
But here's what I came up with...when Chad is home I just don't do as much because we spend more family time together...or more Hubby and me time when wee ones are a sleep. When he's not home I do all of this things to keep me busy and when the kids go to sleep and I am all by myself...I work some more. That's how the house is cleaner and we get more done...or at least that's the case in my house.
So this post is a simple...missing my Hubby post. I would prefer to have Chad home and the house upside down than everything neat and organized and me by myself! :( Just four more days. You all have a great night and enjoy your husbands at home! :)
Hugs and missing hubby

Flying in a "V"
It's been a long time since I wrote last and a lot has happened. I'll try to catch up and be better about writing.
So today I woke up and it was cold...hard to get out of bed. After a few minutes of encouragement and fighting I got up...after all Juls had to go to school. Then we started another battle, I had won my battle to get up, now it was Julianne's turn...after much fighting I'm happy to announce that I won this one too!!! It's so hard to get Julianne out of bed every morning, doesn't matter how early she goes to bed...not a morning person I will tell you that!
After a half an hour of craziness we were out the door. Boy was it cold out there this morning!!! It was raining. After I dropped off Julianne I went back home to get Belle & Hayden ready, Hayden had a doctor's appointment this morning, happy to report that all is well with him, his surgery is all healed and so far no ear infections, but molars are coming in so who knows...knock on wood. He is now 24 pounds and 31 inches, he slowed down a bit on his growth and weight gain because of his ear infections he wouldn't eat well, so hopefully he will be able to catch up a little now.
On my way back from the doctors it was still raining and cold, as I came to a stop on a stop light I observed several ducks getting away from Salt Lake City...flying in a V and I found myself all of the sudden very jealous of them! Crazy I know...but hey they are flying some where nice and warm!!! At that moment I wished I was a duck..to just wake up one day and say...it's cold here let's go some where else and just leave without a care in the world. Then I thought of the "lazy ducks". The ones that decide to stay behind, yes it may sound weird but we still have ducks here in the middle of the winter with the grounds cover in snow and the lakes frozen, they are the ones that have just become comfortable and don't want to go any where anymore. Think about it...flying some where warm takes work. Not to mentioned that there's always some one feeding the ducks here...so why try to go some where else? Spring will come around again eventually.
That's how I feel sometimes, I just have to be patient and spring will come around after several cold months. If you haven't been able to tell yet I hate winter. I become very grumpy during this months and I go to what I like to call as my hibernation time. So what am I doing here still?? Am I one of those ducks that are just content with how things are?! No not really...but I do have something that keeps me here, or should I say Chad and I, grounded here and that's our kids. We think that's so important for them to have family around. They love their Grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, great aunts and so on. We feel bad to take them to some place where they can't have family around...birthdays...Holiday Dinners...family nights or just an afternoon running around with their cousins happy as they can be. And that my dear readers...it's worth our staying here! Does that means that we will never get out...fly some where warm?? I would like to think that's not the case. Have a great fall and remember...time to go searching for nuts! :)

I really did pee Mommy...I promise!!!
Hayden is now 14 months and as you all know I start potty training my little wee ones when they turn to be one.
So last week we took Hayden to Babies R Us and we set him louse in the store so he could pick his own little toilet. Of course he liked the most expensive one...the kind that has a censor that goes off every time he goes potty and play sounds and what not...he dragged that toilet all over the store, people got a kick out of it...so did we! :)
We took the little toilet home and I set Hayden in it and he knew exactly what to do...he went pee!!! I made this great big deal and sang the "potty song", (don't ask...it's something that I came up with Juls when she was little). He loved it! So every once in a while I sit him on his little potty...after a few times it wasn't a new and cool thing anymore and now he doesn't have the patience to sit on his toilet for very long. But I'm insisting with him in the toilet...we read books together and he can't get out until he goes.
So yesterday I sat him on the toilet and he wanted to get up right away...I told him he couldn't until he went pee...so he looked around and saw the water bottle that he had on top of the counter and asked for it, I gave it to him and left the bathroom to go get some clothes for him.
When I got back, Hayden had his legs open and he was pouring water inside his potty. He saw me and jumped...he then gave me a great big cute smile like saying...you got me!!! But then decide to go on with his plot any ways...he dropped the water bottle and started to point at the toilet and jabber like he usually does when he's trying to tell me that he's done going potty.
WHAT A SMART LITTLE BUGGER!!!! I burst out laughing and told him ok...took him out of the potty and after a few squeezes...couldn't help it that little dude is just too cute...I dressed him and sent him out to go play.
I love being a Mom...never a dull moment!!!

Tag you're it
So I decided to break the ice and start this thing...Jen suggested that I do a tag game to get things going...very good idea, thank you Jenny! So here we go...
The rules are: Once you have been tagged, you write a blog with ten, weird, random things, facts, or habits about yourself.
1. I am afraid of frogs...well not sure if I'm really afraid of them but I do know that I hate them!
2. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy as a teenager...but I am ok now.
3. I once slipped on a carpet going down some really long stairs at a friends b-day party...I was wearing a dress that by the time I reached the bottom, where my boyfriend was waiting for me, the dress was over my head...very embarrassing! Specially because the place was full and it was a formal dress party, everybody was staring at me. (P.S. sure hope my ex wont read this blog!)
4. I can't turn down a dare.
5. I now hate roller coster...something that I LOVED before I had kids...amazing how much your kids will change you!
6. As a kid I was bitten by a monkey in a Brazilian Zoo. Ha ha ha ha...go ahead and laugh over this one...I took more shots for it than I care to remember.
7. I was hit by a brick on my head when I was a child...by my brother, he was playing with a friend and I was an innocent bystander! Passed out and woke up bleeding like crazy...had to go to the hospital where I got stitches, the brick also didn't have a happy ending, was left in several pieces from the hit. (Between this and the monkey I think that explains alot about me...doesnt it?!)
8. Stranger than Fiction...who has seen that movie?? For me Will Ferrell it's not very strange at all, let me explain, I actually do think a lot like him in same cases...no I do not count the strokes when I'm brushing my teeth...but I do count and try to calculate the distance of things just like him...for example if I'm sitting in a public bathroom I will count the tiles and if it is a pattern I will make sure that the pattern is right, I do the same with clothes...I love to follow patterns in clothes, I always make sure things are straight and that the space between things are the same....botters me if it's not.
9. I hate odd numbers...don't ask me why...but I hate them...I don't even like the years that my age is an odd number...I'm 29 right now can't wait to be 30!!! 28 was great by the way.
I even eat all my candy in only even numbers, like hot tammales or m&m's and etc... if I have 4 in my hand and offer some to my hubby...he knows that he can't take just one...he have to take two or I'll get mad at him because he left me with an odd number.
10. Speaking of candy...if the candy has different colors, like skitles not only do I have to eat it in even numbers but I have to separate the colors and eat the same colors in even numbers...one may think: That's understandable because the flavors are different...right?! But I do that with my M&M's too...go figure?! ;)
