This week has been CRAZY!.. and I love it. Josh and I have been juggling our schedules between my job, his job and school and the one car to get everywhere, and man!, that's hard stuff! I had been complaining that all I do is clean and watch the kids play, and within one week my whole life has changed so much. I work every day now (I love my job!) which I wasn't expecting at all. But I do miss staying at home with the kids, unfortunately that's not possible right now. Last night after work Josh and I went to the gym together and I got to watch him train with a professional fighter, and I have to say it was actually a lot of fun. Josh and I don't agree on the fighting for a career, but I do see he enjoys it and that makes me happy. I kinda want to get in on the fun next time.... maybe. The guy he trained with last night was like 300 lbs (big scary guy covered in tattoos), and trains girls... I don't think I could hold my own. But I have decided to support him because it seems to do more damage to oppose. He lost his fight last week, and I can't help but think that if I had been a little more supportive he might have won. But we are working hard right now to find a house (still waiting on the eviction notice from the foreclosure) for what we are paying now. House shopping isn't my favorite thing to do, but I'm actually excited to move this time. We need a little change of scenery. I don't want to leave our ward boundaries, but there is nothing around here. So we're are probably off to Mountain's Edge!!! Josh just took on another class too, which makes him a full time student! He works so hard, and we love him for it! His new boss from Northwestern Mutual calls him all the time to check in on him, and can't wait for him to start! I love that he gets to work somewhere he's going to be appreciated and get to grow professionally.
Now about the babies.... Everett talks like crazy. There isn't anything he won't say, and it's so funny to hear some of the things he repeats. Our dog is so bad and always gets out the front door when people come over, and we are usually yelling for her to come back inside so he loves to say "Get inside Mimi! Get inside now!" Or when he's tired he says, "Mom (or Amber-whichever he chooses that day), I need seep." Freakin' adorable! And Mo (that's Ellie)... she is has such a funny little spirit. She worships Everett and follows him everywhere just laughing at everything he does. Her favorite is when he makes a pile of pillows and jumps off the couch into them. She's doing awesome with solid foods too. And her first tooth just popped through this week. We get so lucky that our babies don't get grumpy while they teethe because this one took about 2 months to pop through- her gums have been swollen forever. Oh, and she's crawling everywhere! She a little bit more adventurous than Everett was which really surprised us. And she's a little trouble maker- her new favorite thing to do is push the record button on the Tevo reciever and record cartoons and unrecord mommy and daddy's shows- including Grandpa's Bronco game Monday night. It's so hard to believe she is turning 1 in just a few months! It all goes by way too fast.
