UPDATE

This is a well needed update, we have been so busy lately we are updating our house with can lights, new doors, etc.. So needless to say we have been EXTRA busy.

Slade is doing so well we took him to his 2 month check up on the 14th and he weighs almost 13 pounds and is WAY off the chart in height. He is going to be our basketball player hehe. He is starting to laugh and talk. Zoey was the first one to get him to laugh it was so cute. She just loves her little brother so much (too much at times)

Zoey is becoming such a big girl, her vocabulary is just booming she learns at least one new word a day. The latest word is "Damn it" I could not tell you where she got that hahah. No the true story there is she was getting into the DVD's and they were EVERYWHERE so I come in the living room and say" Damn it Zoey I am sick of telling you no" so that is where "damn it came from. I guess we better stop swearing around our house. That's all I need is her to go to nursery and drop a toy and say damn it which she does at home. Anyways she is starting to use the potty when she wants too but I'm not really pushing it at this point she did everything else on her own I guess she will let me know when she is ready. Who knows with her stubbornness we may be going to kindergarten in diapers.

Now onto my hubby I have to gloat for a few minutes, I think I have the best hubby he is so amazing. Two months ago at church we had a lesson that was givin based around how the prophets say that we should avoid debt as much as possible. Well I really took this lesson to heart and we have been trying to get out of debt. We aren't horribly in debt just 2 credit cards and of course a home and cars. Well I told Brigham I would really like to eliminate those 2 credit cards and just starting paying triple on them even if it meant a little less money for our activites. With Brighams job he works 7 days and then has 7 days off. Well Brigham took it upon himself to get a 2nd job on those days off. I didn't ask him too or anything like that. He just said I feel that we defenitly should eliminate these 2 cards. It makes such a differece when you live by what the prophets and the Lord has commanded. We have tried living both ways and it is such a difference like night and day when we live by the gospel. I just honestly don't know how we did it when we first got married. I am just grateful that we are living by the gospel now and that I have such a great husband who will do anything for his family. I know that I am truly blessed!
