where to begin...

Do you think it's time to start potty training your daughter when she starts changing her own diaper?
A few minor accidents so far, but she is forcing it upon me.  She has been ready for a long while. It's me that's not ready.

Xander scoots everywhere, rolls over like crazy, and they LOVE EACH OTHER! I don't know why, and I am sure it will change, but my kids are best friends, and I love it!

We have no internet at home, the disc drive on my computer gave out, and our TV is not hooked up at all, so absolutely no movies or television for us.  It is SO tempting to plug in the TV and hook up the VCR/DVD player, but I haven't done it.  Isabela now watches pretend movies on the wall and only rarely asks to watch her shows anymore.

People here are WAY nice.  I can't believe how many times I have been called ma'am.  I really like it.  It's in the beautiful moutains.  Last night and this morning we went to play at the reservoir!  Thanks to my mom and dad!  and thanks for fixing my car, too!!

 Going swimming in Logan.

 Chillin on the bed... dad's two favorite CO teams!  Aren't we cute?

 Bellie is ALWAYS trying to help.  She did a fairly good job here. (And she insisted he have a pillow so he was comfortable)

Our make-shift bathtub. It works spectacularly and Isabela likes it as well.  She sings all the time, even in the shower :D

 We live in a one bedroom apt above the fitness center in Silt, CO.  Right outside our door is the train tracks, then I-70, then a river, a reservoir, then mountains.  It is a GREAT view, albeit a little close to danger for a 2 year old.  However, I know we are where we are supposed to be.

7/30/11 Drove to Silt. Moved in… thanks to Rodney.

7/31/11 Went to church, completely exhausted.  It seemed everyone I met had a baby and a toddler in nursery.  We fit right in (ok, so the ward is a good size with kids of ALL ages).

8/1/11 – 8/3/11 Brandon had training at the district and school.  I started unpacking, if you can call it that.  Looks like a tornado hit our house.

8/4/11 Went swimming in Rifle with a couple of girls from the ward and their kids.

8/5/11 Unpacked for a minute then drove to Grand Junction for Bill’s Birthday and Chinese food J

8/6/11  Had so MUCH fun with Brandon’s family and at Kim & Bill’s reception.  They pulled it off really well.  It was SO beautiful!

8/7/11 Went to church, somewhat tired again. People are so nice. I am still slightly anti-social still, I guess.  Jess, where are you?!  I don't know if I can do this church thing without sitting by you and talking to you in the hall with Jack and Xander!!

Then, WE CUT XANDER'S HAIR!!  He kept having random strands that I thought had fallen to his  shoulder so I would go to remove them, but they were still attached.  And all the sides have thinned out so he just had a mohawk.

 More updates to come... we still don't have internet at home or a PO box.  I will let you know when we do.
