I don't even know where to start honestly, the last time I actually had time to sit down and blog was Christmas time... Scary to think that was 3 months ago...
So in the last 3 months A LOT has happened... Mackenzie and I came off the road (kind of sad to think about it), we lived with my parents (thank you so much =0)), got a new place to stay, and of course I am back in school (although not doing to well right now) and the biggest accomplishment: MY TWO YEAR OLD IS POTTY TRAINED!!!!! I love it and am so thankful that it was as easy as I was praying it would be. Although I tried three times to start trying to train her it fell through twice and well I guess like people say, "third times a charm" and it was for us! She took to it within two days, with #1 and about a week for #2 and I am so proud of her she even stays dry all night and is in underwear all day long and to sleep in. Its amazing what a little hard work could do. =0)
Our new house is nice, although extremely far I am very thankful and grateful to have a home to call our own, at least for a year lol. My younger brother Michael is living with us again, which all in all is the best situation for him as he seems to only listen to Gary and I anyways, (sorry mom and dad). He is working and going to school at the moment so he is always busy which leaves me without a car a lot of the time, but that also makes me focus on the more important things in life. Like my daughter and all the fun things we have been accomplishing lately, everything from: hair bow holders, quilts, finger painting, watercolor painting, coloring, playing out in this gorgeous weather AZ is seeing right now and planting flowers.
We recently attended a birthday party for one of Mackenzie's friends: Madison. Her mom was an amazing hostess considering she had a baby no more than 2 weeks prior to the party. In Mack's gift bag when she left there were flower seeds. The next morning, after promising Mack, we went to Walmart and bought things to plant the seeds. I honestly DO NOT have a green thumb at all but luckily the are growing and she loves looking at them everyday. Well at least at the green stems and leaves no flowers have come out of it yet but its only been a few weeks. Thanks Lisa for the great gift bag, it made my little one VERY happy! =0)
So not to much else has been happening around here. We are trying to stay sane while being stuck at our house 85% of the week, and I think I am keeping the 2 year old well entertained for not having too much to do! =0) I think tomorrow we will go look around for the neighborhood play area and start heading over there once a day until it gets too hot! =0)
Well until next time which I promise will be sooner than 3 months....
Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.
