just a little update...

well.. with Nate in school and working, and I've gone back to teaching, time to blog seems far and inbetween.
So first Savannah..
*has gone through two shoe sizes in the past two months.
*is getting tall enough that size 2T t-shirts are too short.
*is getting really good at throwing major Tantrums in wal-mart, any other store we usually make it through, but walmart...hmmm.
*is in love with Elmo. She sleeps with a small stuffed elmo every night, and cries for him if she can't find him.
*loves watching movies with animals, or her favorite Barney...(especially if we let her watch it on the portable DVD player. This makes her incredibly happy)
*loves to fold laundry (yes she actually folds some of it) and dust with a rag. Finds the swiffer to be hilarious, and laughs the entire time i mop.(maybe it's me she is laughing at..not the mop???)
* can say so many words, i'm having a hard time keeping track. says small phrases, like There she is, There he is, Grandma, Barney Please???
*loves the water, and taking a bath. She loves her cups that she can dump water back and forth in. Washes her own toes and button.
*loves to color (and rarely colors on things she's not suppose to like grandma's brand new dresser and window seals...)
*is a picky eater.
*loves milk and her bottle... (yikes, yes she still has a bottle, but we are slowly weaning her..it's hard you know!!)
*deals well with mom going back to work.. i would too if i got to go to grandmas, watch my favorite movies, play with toys, pick on grandma's dogs, and be taken care of all day..sounds good doesn't it??
*loves to get in a little bit of mischief, is always curious about everything, and laughs when she gets in trouble.. oh boy are we in for it..
*is a good sleeper and a genuine good kid. we love her to pieces. it is hard to believe that in a few months she will be TWO. ugh why do they grow so fast..

Jess
*teaching fourth grade and loving it for the most part.
*trying to find spare time (does that exist) to do all the project and Christmas presents i have in mind...
*wishing i didn't work so i could take a trip to oklahoma with my mom to see my sister. I miss her ALOT!!
*wanting to lose some weight, but i ate dieting..
*wishing there was more time, or sometimes the desire to make big fancy delicious meals for dinner.
*is trying to avoid getting H1N1 from school, but seriously its gonna happen.. i hang out with germ carriers all day every day....

Nate
*going to school two nights a week.
*loving his new job. He has to be to work at 6 a.m. but is home when i get home from school everyday. I am loving this, and Miss. Savannah thinks she's in heaven that her daddy is home when she gets home.
*is working on a car project, which i am hoping is done soon so i can park in the garage before it snows...maybe???
*is already planning on what he is giving away on halloween to all the kiddies in the neighborhood. He loves this, so make sure you stop by and get something good.
*is on the hunt for new tires at a REALLY good price for his fourwheeler.

All in all we are doing well.

What a great post! It's so great to hear how you all are doing! I can't believe you're going to have a 2 year old! Our girls have got to get together and play sometime. Oh, and Kristine Fenstermaker is teaching Zumba in Rigby. We should try to go together sometime! We could at least get some good laughs in!
