If I try to think of a title for this post it will never get written. Same with pictures. Unfortunately those will have to come at a much later time. A lot has been going on with our family lately and we've been pretty busy. Here's an effort to play a bit of catch up. Kyle ran his Spartan race and got an excellent time in my opinion. The obstacles and challenges were HARD but he did all of them and didn't get any penalties. (For example if you couldn't climb over the rope wall they made you do 100 push ups instead.) Basically, he rocked it! No surprise there. He's been busy with school and if I haven't said it already we are THRILLED that he will have his Master's Degree completed in about a month! It's been a long hard road mostly for him, but it has definitely been hard on us all to not have him around as often due to studying or his class nights. Glad to have it over and done with soon. He's been busy with his new calling and life has gotten a little more hectic there, but all around we can't complain. We are doing well. Not too much new with me...busy with my calling also, but loving every minute of being involved in the lives of these amazing youth. I think about them often and just love each one of them to pieces. Other than that I just spend my days finding new ways to entertain the two (and sometimes a third adopted) little men in my life. I love planning our days and getting Chase excited about going or doing different things. We've gone to the zoo a lot lately, and our favorite public pool. Their favorite lately is going to the park and playing hide and seek with a football (kind of like an Easter Egg hunt). Chase is still loving pre-school. I love hearing about his day when I pick him up, he just chatters non stop about all the things he learned and I really enjoy doing his homework with him and watching his little mind in action. He has a wonderful teacher whom he adores and he's learning a lot. When we're driving over to preschool he likes to sing the Sid the Science kid song that goes, "I love me mom (uh huh) my mom is cool (uh huh) but now it's time for having fun at school!" He starts soccer league this week. His first practice is on Wednesday and first game on Saturday. He also has the father and son's camp out this weekend which he is uncontrollably excited about. Landon is talking more and more clearly every week. He will repeat pretty much everything we ask him to and says an array of words on his own. His favorite words right now are: no, amen, ball, thank you, Dodger, no no Dodger, Chase, Landon, ni-night, please, look, and mommy and daddy. He is the ultimate in mischief. I have to keep a CONSTANT eye on him and there is not much that will keep him interested while I get other things done. So when I get ready in the morning Landon goes either in the empty bath tub with some toys where he's always right there with me or in the sink right in front of me while I get ready. I've learned that it's much easier to be proactive like this than it is to come out after getting dressed to find his "surprises". He is tons of fun though and our family really would not be the same without him. He definitely adds a lot of spice and variety. We are also new Honda Odyssey owners (yay)! I LOVE it despite the mini van aspect. That's about it for our family! We're doing pretty well and looking forward to summer! We can't wait for some fun adventures...
