2015 is looking to be a great year. Big plans for big changes...!! We made it through a sick Christmas, a sick first trimester, the actual flu (it was awful--three full weeks I was pretty much dead. I never want to repeat that!), an a truck total (Mike was plowed into by an uninsured, unlicensed driver--this was a fun hassle, let me assure you!). On to brighter, healthier, and snazzier futures!

Enjoy a quick recap of January, in pictures. The weather was warm, the purchases were big, big plans were laid, and fun was had by all! :)

Katelyn went through 8 of these bottles during her recovery from strep. Wowzers!

Out with the old...

In with the new!

Josh is in afternoon Kindergarten--poor Katelyn is gone all day. These three boys get to spend a lot of time together!

100 days of school!! Made a lego house out of 100 bricks to take to school to celebrate!

Almost too big to fit all the boys in the tub!

Paid our taxes--even Josh (who made just enough in his clinical eczema study to get the privilege!)

Katelyn: "No, name's Katelyn. George is Curious!"

I had my hair in curlers this week. Katelyn came in to the bathroom and said, "Oh Mom. You are beautiful. You look just like a princess!"

"No! That's a good plan!"

I asked Katelyn to pick up her sippy cup off the floor this morning. Her response..."But Mom! I can't! I'm having a hard time bending!!"

March 2011--

Katelyn is sure that our baby is a girl. When you ask her if we are having a baby girl or a baby boy, she will tell you that on no uncertain terms the baby is a girl, because she and Heavenly Father have talked about it..."I've told you a MILLION times. Heavenly Father is sending us a baby girl! I already asked Him and he said yes!"

After questions which require an affirmative answer, Josh says, "Yes, I do!", even if it would be more appropraite to say, 'yes I will', or 'yes I am!'

September 2011--

Josh loves to pray, but has some specific people that need to be remembered. When you are helping him pray, as soon as you say, "bless..." Josh pipes in with, "And Josh! And Josh! And Josh! And Josh!" If you don't prompt him to bless Josh, and soon, he's gets a bit hysterical! :)
