Where does the time go?
We have been having such a good time with our new little one, that time has just really zoomed by! I can't believe that the leaves are commencing there mass exodus to the ground now and we even have a nip in the air in the mornings. This fall really got away from me. Our little lady bug is a rock star baby. She was 1 month old yesterday. She sleeps for 4 hours at a time at night, and is happy during the day. She eats well, and boy does she poop well! The laundry we go through.....she puts her brothers to shame! JT has adapted much better than I anticipated, although he is now struggling with bedtime. He just does NOT want to go to bed. I am not sure what the deal is, but we will work through it. DB is doing well at school and has seemed to handle the adjustment well also. We did have to implement a "Dallin Dollar" system at our house that helps remind him during the week to listen and obey so that he can have "money" left over on Fridays and Saturdays to "buy" XBox time. I have discovered the beauty of having a kid who lives and breathes for something like Lego Batman......you have something you can threaten to take away to encourage compliance. He has been so good and so helpful for the last two weeks, and our home has been MUCH more peaceful. Ben has been working a ton to make up for the vacation he took to hang out with the family. He even covered for his boss this week in addition to doing his own work. That is what happens when you are just so good at what you do, right? People assume you can take on more. I have been feeling MUCH better since the last post. I am anxious to be active again; it has been SOOOO long since I have broken a sweat from actual exercise, not just from being fat.....okay, pregnant.....sometimes it is hard to know the difference. I think I am going to start exercising on Monday. Ben got me a balance ball and resistance band for my birthday and I can't wait to use it! We are gearing up for Thanksgiving, and are SUPER DUPER excited to have my sister and her husband come down from Omaha. Oh, and the kids are mostly excited to see Roxy, their dog. It will be amazing if they are able to drag Roxy from DB's and JT's fingers! I am going to make my Grammy's pecan tarts (even though apparently I am the ONLY one who will be eating them.....) and trying not to destroy the 21 lb turkey that Ben got "so we can have plenty of leftovers!"

Wow...you already had her blessed? You're insane LOL! I haven't even gone to church yet and they will be a month tomorrow! Although...maybe you guys don't have as much H1N1 going around as we do. My pediatrician told me to keep them away from large crowds like church til they are five! haha...then suggested at least until March because of how bad things have been around here. So IF we bless them before that it will be like "show up for the blessings and then leave". I'm starting to feel really inactive! I'm glad you're feeling better these days...me too. I can't wait to start working out again!
Sounds like you're getting into a groove! Isaac was really struggling with bedtime when we got the bunk beds...we got a new door knob and locked him in! After the 2nd night we haven't even had to lock it because he just assumes it will be locked! It's made my life so much better because he just kept getting up. Nothing worked until we did that.
Holy Bonanzas! That is a big bird! Enjoy that!! We'll miss ya. Give Angie a hug from me...and then give yourself a hug from me also :p
Oh how we will miss you this holiday season, but such is life! Ben's such a stud! What a great man! I can't believe your baby girl! She is really starting to pop out! I LOVE her chubby cheeks! I am so glad you are ready to roll! Have fun next week!!!!! LOVES~
Jake and I talked and decided you need to implement the Benny Boo Boo Dollar for privileges on the Xbox also...LOL
I am so excited to see you!!!! I can't wait to hold that darling girl of your's and to squeeze your boys to pieces!! I can't wait! See you soon!!!
