Well I not only officially planned our vacation..I have booked it!! My mom, sister, and nieces are coming too, though not in our vehicle or room, which is probably a good idea as close quarters can breed contention.
We are driving this year so I'll let you know how that turns out. Last year we flew and took only a hour and a half to get there. It's a 9 1/2 hour drive!! I may split it up and stay a night in Vegas; haven't decided yet.
Damon has started working toward his Bachelors in Information Technology at UVU. Exciting stuff!!

Happy Mother's Day
If I have learned anything from my 16 years as a mother, it's motherhood isn't for sissies!!
It is the most rewarding, challenging, aggravating, awe-inspiring, smile inducing, tear producing, job you'll ever have; and the only one where it will really matter if you have given it your best effort.
A mother is a teacher, a student, a cheerleader, a taxi driver, a referee, a judge, a nurse, a counselor, and a friend.
If you have a wonderful mother, be grateful. If you are a wonderful mother, take a bow. If you are not yet a mother, be patient. To all the wonderful mothers I know..Happy Mother's Day!!

139 days...
The countdown begins...
I have decided that we need to have our family vacation. I had been putting off officially planning it because my sweet husband is not yet working, but I can pay for our vacation with my financial aid from school and we so need to get away.
Our last vacation was so perfect. The boys only fought once..the whole trip..which I think is a record..and Shiloh loved meeting the princesses! I really can't find a good excuse not to go, because it's not the things we buy it's the things we do that the children will remember most.
So that's my good news for the day..139 days until we leave for Disney!! Oh more good news..Shiloh is potty training..and she is doing very well. We started yesterday by basically putting her in panties and telling her that the diapers were no more (we had to do pretty much the same thing with the pacifier, just take it away and that is that) So she has had more successes than failures and this morning she went and used the potty without any prompting at all!! I knew she could do it she just needed to want to.
Every time she goes, she does her little version of the happy dance. It is so stinking cute. I'll have to get it on video.
So life is as crazy as ever, but it's good.
