Where to start...

We celebrated Adlens birthday, started her dance class, I finished up with the census, and loved it and hope they give me more work. Submitted about 5 grants for the Blind Center. Tysen goes into nursery this month (yipee) and Justin is enjoying work and the kids and I just got back from a trip to California with my family. Adlens crab also died sometime while we were gone but Adlen took it well and I finally got the ugly tank off my counter! Today we also rented a boat and spent some time out on Lake Mead. It was nice to do something new and have time together before the week starts. And Tysen found a new wat to vacuum!

I feel Sexy

Ok, so I feel sexy, whats the big deal? Lately I've been feeling more beautiful and feminine. I'm not sure what it is, if it is even one thing or a combination of things. But it seems anything I do I've done feeling more sure of myself, almost like I have a little secret that I can giggle over.

Whatever it is I'm going to enjoy it!

Adlen turns 4

4, yes I said 4. Which means we are one year away from school! I'm getting so excited about these new phases of life but can't help but feel sad for what we are leaving behind. We no longer shop in the toddlers section, we shop in the girls section, she wants to pick out her own clothes and want to play in her room by her self. She is now in a dance class, and got a leotard for her birthday. We are at the stages that when she was little I would dream about. I'm so proud to be her mom. She brings so much love to our family.

Disney on a Dime

OK-- we just had the best vacation to Disneyland, and although there is probably too much to write I do want to share a little secret. We got out tickets from diztix.com we got our park hopper pass for $55 each. It was a steal and the park was open from 8 to midnight and we were there all day. So Disneyland was about $5 an hour, not too shabby. And at the end of the night, Adlen made a heart with her hand and said "this makes my heart happy"! After that, everything was worth it!

My little Justin

I never write about Justin, poor little guy, so I thought I would.

Aside from being the sexiest man alive (did I mention I once entered him in a contest with people magazine and since he didn't win, I no longer buy their magazine), the guy makes me laugh. I don't know what it is but he has such a wit about him that it never fails to surprise me.

He is a hard worker, working long days, up at 4:45 and in bed at 10:30, working either at his job or being with the kids while I work, its got to be rough on him and exhausting.

He always tells me how much he loves me, how beautiful I am, or I have a great smile...blah blah blah, I get it you think I'm hot (but I love it)

He is so smart

And what I love the most is that he might actually be the first mind reader, I don't know how he does it but he has me figured out even before I do, what I'm thinking, feeling, mad about, happy about, frustrated with or planning.

Its scary

So much to blog, so little time

Just a recap
Adlen gave her first talk in Primary yesterday, she did great and I was so excited for her
I won't be working at Deseret Industries after this week, instead, at the end of the month I will be working for the census, and it pays better. I'm still working as a grant writer and love it. Once things in the economy turn around and I gain more experience I think this will be a good fit for the long run.
Justin is doing well at work. They had a few slow months in January and February, but they have seen improvements the last month or so
Tysen is getting so big that on occasion I find myself baby hungry, then I remember whats its like to go from pregnancy to this stage, no thanks.
We are starting feel like we are recovering from Justin loosing his job. He won't be able to recover the 7 weeks he wasn't paid for but he will get back unemployment, which will help a bit.
So if nothing else we are all doing well and are looking forward to the next few months with excitement!

"I love you and like you"

I'm not sure how it was started but the last month or so, every night Adlen will say, as I'm leaving her bedroom, "I love you and like you". It usually goes like this "Goodnight Adlen" "goodnight mom, I love you and like you". It is the most precious sentence that comes out of her mouth, and that she wants to say it, so I usually say it back and always think to myself, she is so sweet!
