Well its friday. The end of another week. I can hardly believe that August starts next week. Time is zooming by.
I had a heart stopping moment yesterday when Leah descided to clear off the couch for me, sadly this included sleeping Bethany. I saw it right as Bethay hit the floor. I was so sacred and Leah got in BIG TIME trouble. I am happy to report that Bethany suffered not even a bruise, only a fright at being woken up so roughly, and Leah is still alive. :) I have af course learned that Bethany will no longer be sleeping on the couch.
As for fun and good stuff. Leah keeps asking me for cookies and when I say "no we don't have any" she relpies "but I told you please." Quite cute. Anna likes to act like all the discisions are hers to make. One day when we were descided wether or not it was a good idea to play in the sprinkler she say " well I think its ok, so that good with me" then the other night when they were suppossed to be going to sleep, they were playing instead. I told them to go to sleep and Anna answers "but its our chioce to play kitchen" I truely have some freedom fighters. :)
Russ and I are busy as usual and are gretaly looking forward to a 4day break in mid August. Oh and Russ got a $50 reward at work for coming up with a great idea. He says he's going to use it take his co-workers out to lunch. I selfishly want him to take me out instead. :) We'll see what happens. :)

Ok, Bethany is 3months old today. I can hardly believe it. Time goes by fast and faster the more kids you have. She is so much fun. She is consistantly sleeping through the night now. Yay!!! It is so nice to be getting so much sleep. Bethany is also full os smiles and even laughs a few times a day. She is hardly fussy, excpet in Church and at night when she wants to go to bed.
Anna is still making us laugh daily. She comes up with the funniest ways of looking at life. She always makes sure that people know that milk comes from goats as well as cows. She tried to kiss a little boy on the mouth the other day since they were pretneding to be married.
Leah is making so many progressing twards "gorwing up" Right now she just really likes to call me grandma. I'm going nuts, so I just started calling her grandpa.
We all went swimming with some friends of ours last night and had a great time. Leah is very weary about going in the pool but had fun playing on the steps. Anna even swam a bit on her own with the help of some floatation devices. Hopefully we'll get them back in the water again soon.

Ok, so it has been almost a week since I last posted. I have been busy & tired. THis week has been long, but great. Russ has been out visitng with the newly baptised members and I have had the opportunity to have some "girls night" times with good friends.
The kids are doing great. I just changed Behtany's woredrobe, if babies really have those, to 3-6month sizes. She is getting so so big so fast. She is just full of smiles and laughs.
Leah is going through a change out of the 2's and into the 3's. She still wants to act at times like a 2yr old, aka getting away with things and needing help with things on account of being small, but at the same time wants alot more independance. Her language skills continue to improve though I know she still gets frustrated that we can't fully understand her virbalizations.
Anna still tries to be the mini mom. She is loving to get things for Bethany as well as correcting Leah EVERY time she sees her doing something that Anna feels is out of sorts. :)
They are always an adventure everyday. I feel some days creep by so slowly and yet time seems be flying by too fast. We are so blessed to be in this stage of out lives and I want to saok it up, and I want a bit more sleep. :) Though in all reality Bethany is a great sleeper and is close to sleeping consistanly through the night. :)
Well I think that ends my late night rant about my life p;ease excuse any misspellings since it is late. ;)

Hi All,
I hardly know what to say this entry. I am feeling like a tired mom of a 4, 2 and 2mo old children. For the most part this week has been wonderfull. The girl's are just a joy. But we had a hechtick and late Sat. thus making a tired and grouchy Sun.
Russ and I did get to go out on a date. Of course we still has to take Bethany. We saw a movie and then went to dinner. It was nice.
I think I am too tired to add anything else of interest at this time so I'll sign off and wiat till tomarrow.
