Update

I thought I'd give you all a little update on the goings on around here. The pool is at a slow pace right now because we have to put in a fence before they will finish it. They are installing the equipment (ie: filters and lights etc) but won't plaster and fill it for a couple of weeks. The fence should be done in about two weeks. We are also having a patio cover done, at about the same time. It's going to really change the look of things, I'm anxious to see how! We finally planted all the palm trees, just in time for a big wind storm to almost knock one over! I managed to get it upright again, but if the wind keeps up, I'll be back out there stomping it down again! Ugh!
As for the kiddos, they are all doing well. Hailey has not gone on the potty again, much to my disappointment. Her new thing is when I ask her if she has to go "boo-boo's or bee-bee's" she says "no, I fine!" I've learned that about 75% of the time she's not fine and has already gone boo-boo's or bee-bee's in her diaper! It's really cute to hear her say it though, man does that girl get away with stuff just because she's cute! The boys are both doing really well. They have one more week of school and then it's spring break! Jackson continues to teach himself the piano, learning the Star Wars theme most recently! Ryan is doing well in school and really is improving on his writing and learning the sounds of the letters! We've been watching "The Letter Factory" alot, it's a movie by Leap Frog that Jacskon got for his 2nd birthday, and it is wonderful at teaching the letters and their sounds! Hailey loves it too, just like Jackson did, and is starting to repeat the letters and sounds! My kiddos amaze me everyday, I just love'em!
Anyway, that's about all the news from here. We are all well and still so blessed. I hope the same is true for you! Thanks for checking in!

Thanks for the update. Remember when Jackson use to like the credits on the end of movies because there were letters there. He was pretty little, like one. Too cute! We will miss you over spring break. Our place has changed so much since last year. Sounds like your place has, too! Matt said we are doing the mustang challenge in Sac next year! Can't wait to see you then. Have a great break. Ours went too quickly! Love ya much!
